A New Mount Carmel

I have received this news about our house magazine, 'Mount Carmel'.

'After 73 years in print, Mount Carmel magazine opens digital access to all

Carmelite magazine launches new website in partnership with DigiCarmel archive.  

Mount Carmel will become a digital open access publication in early 2026. Established in 1953, the magazine has circulated for over 70 years as a print journal among a limited number of subscribers. For the first time, the new web portal (MountCarmelMagazine.com) provides free access to all content from recent and future editions of the magazine.  Thanks to a partnership with DigiCarmel (DigiCarmel.com), 275 back issues of the magazine will also become freely available to the public. DigiCarmel is an online platform and database for the Carmelite Order. It provides access to a vast global archive of publications, research, and historical documents, creating a shared resource for the study and preservation of Carmelite heritage.

“We’re excited to make this treasure-trove of past and future issues available free to whoever has a computer or phone,” said Fr. Yamai Bature, OCD, editor of Mount Carmel. “Many people are looking for ways to immerse themselves in prayer and a more intimate relationship with God. The new website and archive will be of great benefit to them and allow us to bring Carmelite spirituality to many more people.”   This combined effort makes publicly available thousands of feature articles, book reviews, and poems, facilitating search and discoverability by a wider audience.

Mount Carmel reflects on the timeless wisdom of the great Carmelite Saints, including Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Therese of Lisieux, Edith Stein, and Elizabeth of the Trinity. Articles are practical and accessible to readers striving for holiness in their everyday lives.  Writers include many well-known experts in Carmelite Spirituality, such as Ruth Burrows, OCD; Barbara Dent, OCDS; Julienne McLean; Conrad de Meester, OCD; John Hughes, OCD; Kieran Kavanaugh, OCD; Jennifer Moorcroft; Joanne Mosley; Susan Muto; and Peter Tyler.

To remind readers whenever a new free digital issue is published, e-mail updates are available by subscribing through the Mount Carmel website. For those preferring paper, print on demand issues of Mount Carmel magazine will continue to be available for purchase through The Great British Bookshop (www.TheGreatBritishBookshop.co.uk), which prints in the UK, Europe, and the United States, making ordering the magazine convenient across more countries.

“This project has been a labor of love for all those involved,” said Bature. “Mount Carmel is published four times a year by an incredible team of volunteers, with representation from the Carmelite family (seculars, nuns, and friars), alongside laypeople inspired by Carmelite spirituality.”
