The Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites (OCDS), officially Ordo Carmelitarum Discalceatorum Saecularis, and formerly known as the Third Secular Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel and of the Holy Mother Saint Teresa of Jesus, is an association in the Roman Catholic Church, with lay persons as its primary members but can also accept members of the secular clergy, with promises to strive to live evangelical perfection in the spirit of the evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty and obedience and through the beatitudes. They have a "fidelity to contemplative prayer with the spirit of detachment it entails…." Commonly known as Carmelite Seculars, it is an integral part of the Discalced Carmelite Order, juridically dependent upon the Discalced Carmelite Friars (OCD), and in "fraternal communion" with them and the cloistered nuns of the Order. "As a result, they share the same charism with the religious, each according to their particular state of life. It is one family with the same spiritual possession, calling to holiness and Apostolic mission."
