Sunday Bulletin Our Lady of Mount Carmel Feast Day: July 16 The Story of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Hermits lived on Mount Carmel near the Fountain of Elijah in northern Israel in the 12th century. They had a chapel dedicated to Our Lady. By the 13th century they became known as “Brothers of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.” They soon celebrated a special Mass and Office in honor of Mary. In 1726, it became a celebration of the universal Church under the title of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. For centuries the Carmelites have seen themselves as specially related to Mary. Their great saints and theologians have promoted devotion to her and often championed the mystery of her Immaculate Conception. Saint Teresa of Avila called Carmel “the Order of the Virgin.” Saint John of the Cross credited Mary with saving him from drowning as a child, leading him to Carmel, and helping him escape from prison. Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus believed that Mary cured her from illness. On her First Communion day, Thérèse dedicated her life to Mary. During the last days of her life she frequently spoke of Mary. There is a tradition —which may not be historical —that Mary appeared to Saint Simon Stock, a leader of the Carmelites, and gave him a scapular, telling him to promote devotion to it. The scapular is a modified version of Mary’s own garment. It symbolizes her special protection and calls the wearers to consecrate themselves to her in a special way. The scapular reminds us of the gospel call to prayer and penance—a call that Mary models in a splendid way. Reflection: The Carmelites were known from early on as “ Brothers of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.” The title suggests that they saw Mary not only as “mother,” but also as “sister.” The word sister is a reminder that Mary is very close to us. She is the daughter of God and therefore can help us be authentic daughters and sons of God. She also can help us grow in appreciation of being sisters and brothers to one another. She leads us to a new realization that all human beings belong to the family of God. When such a conviction grows, there is hope that the human race can find its way to peace. Mary, under the Title of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, is the Patron Saint of: Chile ~the above information was taken from www.franciscanmedia.com HOLY FAMILY ROMAN CATHOLIC PARISH, 316 S.

  • Why Catholics Wear Scapulars by Ken Litchfield
    Why Catholics Wear Scapulars by Ken Litchfield The wearing of a small square Scapular is a popular devotion among many Catholics. Some know the teaching behind it and some wear it by family tradition. The small square Scapular is based on the large scarf-like Scapular worn over the shoulders by religious brothers and sisters. The word Scapular comes from the Latin word scapula for the shoulder bone. Lay Catholics often wear the small Scapular which has 2 pieces of wool cloth connected by 2 cords to imitate the religious brothers and sisters. There may be a picture or some brief writing on the back of the wool cloth to remind the wearer why they are wearing it. The teaching behind the various Scapulars is to remind us to lead Holy lives. Catholics are not required to wear a scapular but many who know the teaching behind it do. The Brown Scapular Our Lady of Mount Carmel appeared to the Carmelite monk Saint Simon Stock in 1251 and presented him with a brown wool scapular, saying, “Whoever dies invested with this Scapular shall be preserved from the eternal flames. It is a sign of salvation, a sure safeguard in danger, a pledge of peace and of my special protection until the end of the ages.” Any Catholic can be enrolled in the Brown Scapular. Many children are enrolled after their First Communion, although there is no age requirement. To gain the promises of the Brown Scapular, one must be enrolled or invested in the Brown Scapular by a Catholic priest or deacon.

Scapular By Jason Paul Bourgeois, Ph.D., Librarian-Theologian/Assistant Professor Marian Library-International Marian Research Institute, University of Dayton A scapular is a sacramental garment of the Catholic church, usually consisting of two pieces of sewn cloth attached by strings and worn over the shoulders with one piece hanging over the chest and the other hanging over the back. The scapular was originally a component of some religious habits, the set of garments worn by members of a religious order, but later a smaller version (usually one inch by two inches) began to be worn under the clothes by laypersons who wished to associate with a particular religious order. The most famous scapular is the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (q.v.) The Brothers of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (commonly referred to as Carmelites) were originally founded as an order of hermits that lived together on Mount Carmel in Israel in the early 1200s.

  • November/December 2011 the Report of the Crusade of Saint Benedict Center
    ANCIPIA M November/December 2011 THE REPORT OF THE CRUSADE OF SAINT BENEDICT CENTER Dear Friends and Supporters, Ave Maria! As I write this note, I am immersed in the project of raising funds for the erection of a worthy chapel for the adoration of the All-Holy Trinity and the exultation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Yes, my friends, we are building! Deo Gratias et Mariae! The new Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapel, where only the traditional rites of the Church will be offered, will mirror the Immaculate herself. It will be lovely within and without. But the real beauty will grace its interior, where God dwells. The ancient chants of the Church will echo Mary’s song. Incense at High Mass and Benediction will ascend like the sweet odor of the Virgin’s holiness. Silence, reverence, order, and fidelity will reign, as they did in the mind, body, and affec- tions of the Immaculate. And many prayers will be offered for the conversion of America — our little part of Mary’s Empire! In the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Brother André Marie, M.I.C.M. P.S. I ask you to read the center spread of this Mancipia, and prayerfully consider how you can help this work.

  • Compiled from Devout Resources of the Saints' Sites
    compiled from devout resources of the Saints' sites. www.saintsprayers.net "That we may pray unceasingly" 1 Thess. 5:17 Herein is contained a compilation of Catholic prayers, quotations, and readings from religious devotional books and the writings of and about the saints. The treasury of wisdom herein is the treasury of Christ Himself for the soul. For these prayers to be of lasting value you must adhere to the one true Church founded by Christ, the Catholic Church and her doctrine as given by Christ while living a life of grace and love God in all your doings, being always aware of your own humble nature. The quotations and readings will be of aid for the mortification of the senses, purgation, understanding of the interior life, repelling of the spiritual enemies of the soul, illumination, and finishing of the spiritual journey to salvation. An example of devotion. Practice the continual remembrance of the Lord. Begin your day with the sign of the cross, invitatory, and morning prayers such as thanksgiving for the night's protection, morning offerings, and the acts of virtue. Examine your conscience and what the day will hold ahead. Pray for these intentions, then pray during the hours of the day, with such as the powerful prayers of the Most Precious Blood for the Holy Souls. Remember the hour of noon, and the hour of three o'clock. Devote every act to Jesus Christ in between the hours. Fast according to your capacity and practice temperance throughout all your acts. At midnight rise and make a devotion.

  • Through a Contemplative Order
    Transcript of “Holy Face—Holy Name” for 2017–MarianNews YouTubeChannel “Sister Anne” (Mary K.) Farran -- https://houseofmaryomd.org An improved “chapter” version is in preparation for a book publication. Good morning everyone! Greetings to our audio and now we also have YouTube listeners! In our last talk, the first in this series on “Apparitions for the World,” I focused on the lesser known prelude to the vision of the Miraculous Medal. Mary appeared to young St. Catherine Labouré to lay the foundation, as it were, of all the subsequent mod- ern apparitions. I want to continue on the premise that her apparitions are unique pieces of a large mosaic, not rubber stamps of the same message. Only by laying out all of them can we view the mosaic to see the larger message. Since each of her apparitions is a book in itself, and we are confining ourselves to one hour talks in a nineteen week seminar, I had to determine which apparitions should receive special attention for understanding the mosaic. For awhile, I wasn’t thinking of presenting the pieces in chronological order. After all, after the work is finished, no one really cares if the artist had first worked on this corner or that corner. Although that’s quite true, we’re not talking about bits of colored stone, but living pieces. As we saw in our Genesis talk yesterday on the garden, God loves living things, for as Scripture declares so many times, our God is a “living God!” Each of these “apparitions to the world” is a world in itself, just as each of the Gospel parables can present almost infinite angles for meditation as one turns a diamond in the sun.

    CKer ÇCorious H t Ce Our Lady of Mount Carmel — Star of the Sea By John 9v[. Jfaffert Our Lady held the Scapular out of the sky at Fatima because, according to Lucia: “It Is the sign of consecration to Her Immaculate Heart.” This Inspired the title of a book on the Scapular which John Haffert wrote fifty years ago: Sign OfHer Heart. After fifty years we have been able to see more clearly that the Scapular Is far more than a sign of salvation. It Is an Invitation and aid to great holiness. The book you are about to read Is not so much about the name “Our Lady of Mount Carmel" as about the ascent of Mount Carmel... ascent of my heart Into the Flame of Love of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Maiy. This Is not a restricted Invitation. It Is to all the People of God who, under “Her glorious title," become Her special children. Aboue is the Most Rev. George W. Ahr, Bishop o f Trenton, blessing a woodcaruing of Our Lady of Mount Carmel fo r the Blue Army National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washing­ ton, N d. Assisting His Excellency is the Rev.
