Bridal Mysticism in the Carmelite Tradition (for men and lay people too)

In this deep dive into Carmelite spirituality, we explore the rich tradition of bridal mysticism—a profound metaphor in which the soul is united to Christ as His bride. Drawing from the Song of Songs and the writings of great Carmelite saints like St. Teresa of Ávila, St. John of the Cross, and St. Thérèse of Lisieux, this video uncovers how the Carmelite path understands the spiritual life as a journey of courtship, betrothal, and mystical marriage with God. We’ll look at how both women and men—monastics and laypeople alike—have entered into this intimate union, and how even male mystics like John of the Cross embraced the language of divine espousal. From early Carmel to contemporary practice, this tradition reveals a transformative love that invites every soul to be consumed by the Divine Bridegroom. Whether you’re curious about contemplative prayer, mystical theology, or simply seeking a deeper relationship with Christ, this video offers a compelling and accessible guide to the heart of Carmelite mysticism.
