N1  - This dissertation is a study of kenosis spirituality aimed at determining how the spiritual formation of the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (CMI) can be effectively infused with a more profound and genuine understanding of kenosis spirituality. Employing a communication-oriented method involving three interconnected and progressive steps, namely, an analysis of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and concentrating on the role of the text-immanent reader, this study conducts an in-depth textual analysis of five key texts. These have been chosen from the Bible, the Eastern and the Western monastic traditions, the early writings of the CMI, and the Indian Christian Ashram to ascertain a deeper understanding of kenosis spirituality. The study subsequently considers how to introduce insights regarding kenosis into the CMI's spiritual formation; CMI Formation and Kenosis Spirituality; Philippians 2:5-11:Make Your Mind Like that in Christ Jesus; The Ninth Demonstration of Aphrahat: On Humility; The Seventh Chapter of Regula Benedicti: De Humilitate; An Early CMI Circular; The Kurisumala Ashram Typicon-Sadhana; The Enrichment of the CMI's Spiritual Formation Fostering Transformation Through Encouraging Kenosis Spirituality
