HIS WORD TODAY by Rev. William J. Reilly Most Holy Name , Garfield, NJ

Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 18, 2021

“I myself will gather the remnant of my flock from all the lands to which I have driven them and bring them back to their meadow, there they shall increase and multiply. I will appoint shepherds for them who will shepherd them so that they no longer fear and tremble, and none shall be missing, says the Lord... Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.”

The image of the Good Shepherd, which we recall on the Fourth Sunday of Easter, provides a wonderful picture. The shepherd, guides and leads, protects and feeds, as a parent does for their child, as a teacher does for their students. Rather than just affirm the importance of the role, think for a minute of the qualities you look for in a shepherd or a person today who assumes that role. A Prayer to (FEAST DAY: JULY16th)

Kindness and caring come to mind, a desire to share and O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful support in every need. Jesus appointed the twelve for that vine, splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son role, modeling by His teaching and preaching, His of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in this my example and care. How blessed that the Lord continues necessity. O Star of the Sea, help me and show me to fulfill the words of Jeremiah and Mark today. herein that you are my Mother. O Holy Mary, Mother of God, and As I reflect on the role of shepherds in my life, whether earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my teacher, priest, religious or catechist, can I see the hand heart, to succor me in this my necessity. There are of the Lord guiding others? Can I pause for a moment and none that can withstand your power. O show me herein that you are my Mother. pray for them? O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us that have recourse to thee. (Repeat three times) Sweet Mother, I place this cause (pause) in your hands. (Repeat three times)

The prayer, also known as the “Flos Carmeli” (“The Flower of Carmel”), was composed by St. Simon Stock (c. 1165-1265), a Christian hermit known as a Carmelite, so called because he and other members of his order lived atop Mount Carmel in the Holy Land. St. Simon Stock is said to have been visited by the Blessed Virgin Mary on July 16, 1251, at which time she bestowed upon him a scapular, or habit, (commonly called “the Brown Scapular”), which became part of the liturgical clothing of the Carmelite order.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel is the title given to the Blessed Virgin Mary in honor of her visitation, and she is considered the patroness of the Carmelite Order. July 16 is also the day that Catholics celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, which often begins with a recitation of the prayer. It can, however, be recited at any time for any need, usually as a novena, and can also be recited in a group as a much longer prayer known as the Litany of Intercession to Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
