Father Redemtus Valabek, Postulator General for the Causes of Carmelite Saints, here presents the story of Carmel’s particular devotion to the Mother of the Lord.
Mary, Mother of Carmel, however, is not based merely on his love of what has been: it is solidly grounded in the here and now. He draws upon the past, to be sure, but only as a plateau from which he would lead us through the present and into the future.
Our Lady and the Saints of Carmel. Fr. Valabek reveals the importance of Mary today: the Mary of the Bible, the Woman of Pentecost, the Mother of the Church. He examines the early documents of the Order and the written reflections of Carmel's brothers and sisters through the centuries to the present time.
