Carmelite Digest, a quarterly magazine published by the Discalced Carmelite Friars of the Western Province, is inviting you to join us in a spiritual journey as we present written thoughts, ideas, prayers, news, and various articles, not only by contemporary writers within the United States and abroad, but also by those who have fulfilled this journey and continue to inspire us today. This inspirational magazine has become one of the best channels of communication within the Carmelite Order, both religious and secular, and with the rest of the world. Through this publication, readers are given a taste of “different flavors” of spiritual literature from Carmelite historical events to those of the present day—from the serious and sublime to the light and ordinary. We help bring our readers into contact with our saints, blesseds, and other holy Carmelites, such as Sts. Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Thérèse of Lisieux, Edith Stein, Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity, and Bro. Lawrence of the Resurrection. Although many of our writers are Carmelites, we try to publish articles from other writers that contain common sense spirituality for whatever journey one may choose to take. There is no doubt that every issue of this magazine will somehow assist you in your prayerful quest in finding the path to God. That is why we use very few ads and have almost 80 pages of solid reading material. When compared to many other spiritual publications, we think Carmelite Digest offers you a lot for a yearly subscription of $26 ($32 foreign). You can save by taking a two-year subscription for $46 ($55 foreign), or you can save even more by taking a five-year subscription for $94 ($104 foreign).

You may also order separate issues at $6.50 for one copy ($7.50 foreign). If you are interested in purchasing Carmelite Digest as a gift for a friend or family, the first gift subscription is for the price of $26 per year ($32 foreign) with each subsequent gift order subscription at $22 per year ($28 foreign).
