	Carmelites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carmelite tradition traces the origin of the order to a community of hermits on Mount Carmel that succeeded the schools of the prophets in ancient Israel, although there are no certain records of monks on this mountain before the ninth decade of the twelfth century.
		In 1593 the Discalced Carmelites had their own general, and by 1600 they were so numerous that it became necessary to divide them into the two congregations of Spain and of Italy, or St. Elise, the latter including all provinces except Spain.
		Henceforth there were four Carmelite generals: the general of the Observantines, of the independent congregation of Mantua, and of the two congregations of the Discalced Carmelites.

	The Carmelites
		This formula of life was approved by various Popes until the group was transformed into a Religious Order, when in 1247 Pope Innocent IV approved the text as a Rule.
		There are really two branches of Carmelites: the Ancient Observance" or "Calced" Carmelites, and the "Discalced Carmelites" or "Teresians" (established in 1592 in Spain) who followed the ways of their founder and reformer, St. Teresa of Avila.
		Teresa believed that the Order should be dedicated to poverty, so the Discalced Order (Discalced indicates a reformed religious order) became known as Discalced (or shoeless) Order of Carmelites.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Carmelite Order
		The Discalced Carmelite nuns of the Spanish congregation found their way to the states of South America as early as the beginning of the seventeenth century; several of their convents are still in existence, and others have lately been erected in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador, and Peru.
		It is also stricter among the Discalced Carmelites, who keep perpetual abstinence (except in the case of weakness or illness) and who rise in the night for the recitation of the Divine Office, than among the Calced Carmelites, who have adapted their rule to the needs of the times.
		The French Carmelite nuns were placed (with few exceptions) under the government of the Oratorians, the Jesuits, and secular priests, without any official connection either with the Spanish or the Italian congregation of Discalced Carmelites, forming a congregation apart from the rest of the order.

		Their distinctive garment was a scapular of two strips of gray cloth, worn on the breast and back, and fastened at the shoulders.

	Short History of the Discalced Carmelites
		The Carmelite Order was founded by a group of hermits residing on Mt Carmel, in Palestine, in the early 13th century.
		She began to found convents and with the assistance of St John of the Cross was able to spread the reform to the friars as well.
		"Discalced" derives from the Latin for "unshod." The Discalced Carmelites are called that to reflect their more austere way of life and the fact that they wore rope sandals instead of leather shoes.

	What is OCDS
		The Carmelites developed from a single community of hermits, whom we first hear of living after the example of that holy man and solitary prophet Elijah on Mount Carmel, in Palestine.
		In 1652, however, a Spanish Carmelite nun known to us as St. Therese of Avila, assisted by another great Carmelite, St. John of the Cross, established what was to become a completely new branch of the Carmelite Order: The Discalced Carmelites.
		The Discalced Carmelite Secular Order is a canonically approved branch of the entire Discalced Carmelite family and has its own guidelines of life, called Norms, different from that of the nuns or friars.

		The Discalced Carmelite friars, as members of the Teresian Carmel and by the word and example of Christ, are taught how to pray to the Father in solitude and silence, and with one another in community.
		A vocation as a Discalced Carmelite friar unites one as a brother in a family modeled on the community of Christ and the apostles.
		Therefore, the Discalced Carmelite nuns take her as the model of their lives, rejoicing that they are able to wear her scapular as part of their religious habit.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Jerome Gratian
		Teresa and first Provincial of the Discalced Carmelites; born at Valladolid, 6 June, 1545; died at Brussels, 21 September, 1614.
		But, as his return to the Discalced Carmelites would have revived the former dissensions, Gratian was affiliated to the Calced Friars with all the honours and privileges, and the right to practise the Rule of the Reform.
		Buried in the chapter-house of the Calced Carmelites at Brussels, his remains were repeatedly transferred, but finally lost during the Revolution.

	Forest Park of the Discalced Carmelites, Bucaco - UNESCO World Heritage Centre
		Measuring 1450m by 950m, the National Forest is surrounded by a wall with several gates scattered around the perimeter, providing access to the leafy woods which surround the church, part of a Carmelite convent, a monumental palace, and several other buildings of a religious nature.
		Significant contributions to the transformation of the landscape were made by the building of the small Convent of Santa Cruz in 1628, and the wall which isolates the Forest from the exterior (accessible only through the Coimbra Gates), built with the aim of edifying a Carmelite "wilderness", as it existed in Jerusalem.
		The architectural features of the "wilderness" contributed towards the physical and symbolical transformation of the landscape and left their mark on its morphology, endowing it with religious significance, and leading eventually to the creation of a "sacred landscape" which is punctuated by chapels, hermitages, stone crucifixes, gateways, fountains and the Sacred Way.

	Oklahoma History - Establishment of the Order of Discalced Carmelites in Oklahoma
		The Carmelites, also driven from Mexico by the revolution, were in a unique position--by virtue of their experience and their linguistic and cultural background--to minister to the spiritual needs of the Mexicans for whom the Oklahoma Catholic clergy were insufficiently equipped to care.
		By 1909, the Discalced Carmelites had returned to many parts of Mexico, including the northern city of Torreon, Coahuila, where four Spanish fathers of the Province of Aragon-Valencia began construction of a church and monastery.
		While this chapter of the Carmelites' work is outside the scope of this paper, their efforts to serve the burgeoning number of Mexicans and Mexican Americans in Texas merely reflects the dedication and energy they had amply demonstrated during their first fifteen years in Oklahoma.

	Rule of the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites
		The Secular Order forms an integral part of the Carmelite family; its members are therefore sons and daughters of the Order, and share in fraternal communion, though in a state of life essentially different from that of religious, its same vocation of holiness and is mission in the Church.
		The Secular Carmelites are therefore bound to the fervent practice of fraternal charity and must take their share of apostolic responsibility in the Church in the world.
		The Secular Carmelites should cultivate fraternal relations with the other members of their religious family, and bear in mind that, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, their fidelity to their vocation contributes to the growth of each of them.

	The Carmelites
		The Discalced Carmelite friars continue their life of prayer and apostolic work among God's people in various fields, trying to live as authentically as possible the charism and spirit bequeathed to them by Saints Teresa and John.
		The Carmelite rule already encouraged an apostolic poverty that forbid the hermitage to possess "places or possessions, that is, houses or revenues." Thus, the common monastic practice of possessing much income-producing land and property was forbidden by their rule.
		Carmelite eremitism integrates the written formality of an approved rule of the church with the loose-knit informality of the Oriental, eremitical colony.
