Hi, guys —

Upon reading St .Theresa of the Little Way in our weekly study group, we came across the reference to "the Carmel."

  • Does this refer to the convent, the order or something else?

We have been unable in our research to find an answer. Thanks for your help.

Hi, Rosanne —

It's common to refer to a particular Carmelite convent as "the Carmel".

Rosanne —

Carmel refers to:

  • the Order
  • a house of the Order
  • the way of life
  • the spiritual life, and
  • the [Garden|Mountain] of Carmel in the Holy Land from which the Order takes its name.
