July 11, 2021 – 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 3 “I suggest asking for God’s guidance. Ask God Our Father, Jesus or the Holy Spirit to teach you how to pray, and then pray in the way you feel drawn to, whether it’s with one of the guides or whatever works best. Speak to God about everything that is on your heart and devote time to listening. My time at adoration varies, but I usually start with a 7-10 minute Examen Prayer of St. Ignatius of Loyola, then the Divine Office through the iBreviary app for 10-15 minutes, followed by praying with a passage of Scripture. I choose the Scripture passage depending on what I’m drawn to pray with at the moment. It is either something from the Divine Office (which I just read and was especially moved by), one of the readings of the day, or any lines from Scripture that I’m drawn to. It is also important to make time to just sit in God’s presence and listen. I ask God to speak to my mind and heart and give me all the graces and guidance I need. I then dedicate a certain amount of time to sit with Him, trying to ignore any distracting thoughts that might be on my mind, and listen. The graces from adoration might not be noticed until later that day, week or month. I recommend that every Catholic make time for Eucharistic Adoration. Jesus asks us in Scripture (Mark 14:37) to spend time with Him, countless saints have written about the benefits of praying in the presence of the Eucharist, and the Magisterium of the Catholic Church teaches us that the Eucharist is the ‘source and summit of the life and mission of the Church’.” Joanne Join us as we work to resume Perpetual Adoration at Saint James.

  • The Brown Scapular Your Scapular
    About The brown The Brown Scapular Your Scapular... The Scapular is a sacramental that is effective according to the dispositions of its wearer. It is a sign of our contract, Scapular of our covenant with Mary. She promised: "Whosoever dies clothed in this Scapular shall not suffer eternal fire." The condition for obtaining this promise is to wear the Scapular imposed by the priest devoutly and at all times. The Sabbatine Privilege Our Lady appeared to Pope John XXII telling him: "As a tender Mother, I will descend into purgatory on ...is a rich present brought down from Heaven the Saturday after their death, and will bring them into by Our Lady herself. the heavenly mansions of life everlasting." This Sab- batine Privilege was promulgated and taught by Pope "Wear it devoutly and perseveringly", John XXII in the famous Bull "Sacratissimo Uti Culm- she says to each soul, ine" in 1322. Yet the Holy See gave it a definitive ratifi- cation only in 1908 during the pontificate of St. Pius X. "It is my garment. To be clothed in it means you secure eternal life."

  • The Brown Scapular Is an Old Carmelite Tradition That Found New Life in the Early 20Th Century with the Fatima Apparitions
    The Brown Scapular is an old Carmelite tradition that found new life in the early 20th Century with the Fatima Apparitions. Recently, it has become popular again as Catholics look for some intimate sign to remind them of their commitment to the Faith. On July 16, 1251, in the town of Aylesford in England, Our Lady appeared to a Carmelite priest named, St. Simon Stock. She handed him a brown woolen scapular and said, “This shall be a privilege for you and all Carmelites, that anyone dying in this garment shall not suffer eternal fire.” Later, the Church extended this privilege to all who wish to be invested and perpetually wear it as a sign of membership in the Confraternity of the Brown Scapular. The tradition expanded to include the Sabbatine Privilege, in which there is a pious legend of the Blessed Virgin of Mount Carmel promising to shorten one’s stay in purgatory if one should pass from this world still owing some debt of punishment. It is said she will retrieve one’s soul from purgatory on the Saturday after death. The promise is not mere legend but based on certain conditions that must be fulfilled which, if devoutly observed, will assist one in religious and spiritual perfection: 1. One must be invested in the Brown Scapular by a priest according to the Roman Ritual and wear it continuously. (Once a priest invests one with the Brown Scapular, it is not necessary to have replacement scapulars blessed.) 2. Observe chastity according to one’s state in life (married/single).

  • THE LEGEND of ST SIMON STOCK and the SCAPULAR DEVOTION from the First to the Second Naïveté
    THE LEGEND OF ST SIMON STOCK AND THE SCAPULAR DEVOTION From the first to the second naïveté Paul Ricoeur (d. 2005) “first naïveté” wonder critical reflection rejection; or “second naïveté” a new wonder an example: the creation story in Genesis First naïveté: The traditional story Simon Stock, 1165-1265 At 12 he began to live as a hermit in the hollow trunk of an oak, became an itinerant preacher, entered the Carmelite Order, and spent several years on Mt Carmel. In 1247 he was elected the sixth prior general of the Carmelites. On Sunday 16 July 1251 the Blessed Virgin appeared to Simon in Cambridge, England. In prayer he asked for some privilege for his Order, offering the prayer Flos Carmeli. The Virgin appeared surrounded by a multitude of angels and bearing the scapular of the order in her blessed hands, saying: “May this be to you and to all the Carmelites a pledge, that whoever dies wearing it will not suffer eternal fire, that is, wearing this, he will be saved.” The Sabbatine Privilege The Virgin Mary appeared also to Pope John XXII, as recorded in his Bull Sacratissimo uti culmine of 3 March 1322, and promised that those who wear the scapular and fulfill two other conditions (chastity according to their state of life, and the daily recitation of the Little Office of Our Lady) will be freed from Purgatory on the first Saturday after death. Scapular miracles 1. Another Scapular miracle took place in 1845.
