About this episode
This episode explores the spiritual roots of the Carmelite Order, focusing on the significance of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Prophet Elijah.
The Carmelite Order began in the early 13th century, yet it has always looked much further back—to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Prophet Elijah—as the source of its spiritual roots. In this episode, we explore how those roots place Mary at the heart of Carmel.
