In 2026, we will celebrate two anniversaries related to John of the Cross: the 300th anniversary of his canonization and the 100th anniversary of his proclamation as a Doctor of the Church.

Therefore, we would like to feature a special section in Carmelus 1/2026 and request articles on St. John of the Cross. 

Especially in light of his elevation to Doctor of the Church, his reception over the last hundred years could be a topic of interest. An article on his reception in church documents over the last hundred years is already available.

Of course, other aspects of the saint’s life and work may also be explored. 

 And as always, Carmelus welcomes scholarly articles on all topics related to Carmel.

 Please send articles and proposals to Fr. Michael Plattig O. Carm.: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Thank you very much!
