Characteristics of Carmelite mysticism

The Carmelite mysticism was particularly influenced by the Carmelite Order, founded on the Mount Carmel, during the Crusades. Rule of the Order was approved by Pope Honorius III in 1226. From the very beginning the order of the Order was eremitic, only later, it was slightly relaxed. In the fifteenth century a branch of this Order was born. The flourishing of Carmelite mysticism dates back to 1570 - 1625. At that time, there is a connection with the view that not knowing God is decisive, but loving him. The practical expression is found in the prayer of thought, which is based on the Franciscan mysticism of inner concentration, which aims to unite love with God. The mysterious and consistent expression of the mystic appears only in the second half of the 16th century in the Carmelite Order. Major representatives of the trend

The reform was characterized primarily by the return to the rule approved by Pope Innocent IV, and from that moment two branches of the Carmelite Order can be distinguished: the first Carmelites, the first Carmelite, and the second Carmelite. St. Teresa has left many works in which she combines mystical and contemplative graces with the elements of the spiritual life of the person who, according to her, is the shortest path to holiness. Particular attention deserves such works as the Book of Life, the Way of Perfection, the Inner Fortress and the Book of Foundations. According to sacred teachings, Christian existence achieves its fullness only in mystical life, which consists in the progressive development of the experience of God and His work, as well as the work of Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Church, so that faith becomes deepened, while love and hope become meaningful. eschatological tendencies.

He left many works that are classics of mystical literature on a global scale, namely: Spiritual Song and Dark Night. The whole ascetic doctrine of the saint is based on the question of union with God. St. John writes about mystical union, two degrees: the first, called in mystical language: spiritual marriage and the second, spiritual marriage. The mystical view of St. John is a continuation of the apophysical current of the Pseudo-Dionysius Areopagite. Bibliography
