Why someone becomes a Carmelite instead of a Franciscan, Dominican, or Jesuit may depend quite a bit upon God's providence. But there are certain Gospel values that guide each group in our daily living and that's often what speaks to a seeker.
These values have been part of our tradition, our Carmelite way, since the beginning. Our greatest saints -- Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, and Therese of Lisieux -- often spoke of these ideas as they described their vocation as Carmelites on a journey: the ascent of the mountain, the little way, the interior castle.
