Special Marian Edition CHARIOT OF FIRE Carmelite Vocation Newsletter of the Province of St. Elias Winter 2009 SPRING 2010 Special Marian Edition “Carmelites see in the Virgin Mary, Mother of God and archetype of the Church, the perfect image of all that they want and hope to be. For this reason, the Carmelites have always thought of Mary as the Patron of the Order, its Mother and Splendour; she is constantly before our eyes and in their hearts as “the Virgin Most Pure.” Looking to her, and living in spiritual intimacy with her, we learn to stand before God, and one another, as the Lord‟s brothers.” CARMELITE CONSTITUTIONS 27:91-92 Mary brings the good news of salvation to all men and women. CARMELITE CONSTITUTIONS 27.89 “Mary lives among us as mother and sister, attentive to our needs; along with us she waits and hopes, suffers and rejoices.” The Carmelites have always envisioned Mary as an aide in their spiritual life. My first introduction to our Lady was when I was a boy. I remember seeing a statue of Mary in my Grandmother‟s bedroom. It was always very polished and at times my grandmother would put flowers below her feet. We knew how much our grandmother loved Mary. She would always go and honor her in the little Church she attended. I am sure some of her devotion to Mary rubbed off on me. Carmelites do have a powerful relationship with Mary. Throughout history, Carmelite friars have looked upon Mary for spiritual insight. Our great spiritual writers found her qualities of simplicity and deep pondering valuable for teaching one to search for God and do His will. While some groups promote Mary as Queen and even protector, Carmelites focus on her motherly presence and her quiet abiding love; that nurtures, and is ordinary. The response of Mary to the angel Gabriel is the most important “yes” in the history of our world. It continues to inspire people to take courageous steps in their Christian life. It paves the way to overcome those tired excuses that keep people mired down in a life half lived. In this issue of the Chariot, we asked some of the friars to contribute articles with Mary in mind. To each of us, Mary points the way to searching and finding God. This is especially relevant today. There is no doubt that the Church is suffering. It has been said that we are facing some of the biggest challenges ever faced by Christians, in any age. The abuse scandal alone has caused harm to the faith of many individual Christians. Some important leaders in the Church conclude we are experiencing the passion. If so, it is also true that Mary never abandoned Jesus or the disciples. She was there at the foot of the Cross until the end. She was there in the upper room until her son emerged from the ranks of the dead in glory and ready to start his disciples on the journey of a lifetime. It really does not matter whether the Church is suffering or in a time of great peace and growth. God calls men and women to serve. Scripture is ripe with stories of people being called. Some Br. Robert E. Bathe, O.Carm. Vocation Director responded with all their heart, while others could not follow the Lord because the cost was too much. Whatever the response, the fact that people are called by God is what is important. Are you being called? We need dedicated men of God, to join our humble group of friars in spreading the Good News. We invite you to come walk with us in our search for the face of the living God. From the Provincial Very Rev. J. Mario Esposito, O. Carm. Dear Friends, I am happy to add a few words to the Marian issue of the Chariot of Fire, the vocation newsletter of the St. Elias Province of the Carmelite Friars. All of the members of our religious family take a keen interest in fostering vocations to our Order. We belong to an ancient yet ever new fraternity that seeks to serve the Lord and His people with the zeal of Elijah the Prophet and the love and fidelity of Mary, the Mother of God and Mother of the Church. As May is traditionally Mary's month, it seems very fitting that we dedicate this issue to Our Lady. Yet, I must say this first. May is not more Mary's month in the Order of Carmel than any other month is Mary's month in Carmel. Our vocation, our life is always permeated with devotion to Mary - the Mother, the Sister, the Virgin and the Queen of Carmel. Every month and every day and several times a day, 365 days of the year, we turn to our mother in prayer, ending our Offices and Masses with prayers to Mary, celebrating her feasts, and considering her as the perfect example of the soul, the whole person turned toward God completely and faithfully, the model disciple. Like our mother, Carmelites always strive to be in the heart of the Church at prayer with the other disciples of the Lord. Like our mother, Carmelites always strive to do the will of God as it is revealed to us, even when the will of God may be mysterious or demanding. Like our mother, Carmelites always strive to follow both her example and her instructions regarding Our Lord, “Do whatever He tells you.” While this is a high ideal, it is our ideal. We do not select a special month to honor Mary any more than Mary selects only special times to help us or guide us. She is always with us and we intend to be and attempt to be always with her. The Carmelite scapular that we wear is a testimony that we belong to her. Clothed in her habit, we seek to imitate her virtues and her total dedication to Christ and to serve others with the joy and fidelity that marked her life. We are fond of saying among ourselves that Mary belongs to Carmel in an altogether special way. Oh yes, she is the mother of all the faithful, all priests, and all religious. But, Carmel is Mary's - always has been, is, and always will be and we Carmelites are hers, plain and simple. God bless you and Mary keep you always. 3 The Role of MARY in Carmelite Formation Rev.

    CHARIOT OF FIRE Carmelite Vocation Newsletter of the Province of St. Elias Winter 2009 Fall 2009 Autumn is beautiful. Outside our offices, surrounding the National Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel are the usual oaks, poplars, and maple trees stretching their limbs into the air with brilliance. The colors of Fall are always spectacular and it never seems to get old. Many of our experiences just become routine. It becomes laborious to suit up and begin again. Our time quickly becomes lost in exams and all the noise that the world has to offer. However, no matter how many times Summer begins to slip into Fall, I am always taken aback. As a boy growing up in East Tennessee, we always made a Fall trip to the Great Smoky Mountains. It was a formative experience in my life. I could sense something greater than this world leading me on a journey of discovery. One filled with mystery and intrigue. I experienced many things, but none that really filled the space left deep within me for knowledge about this world and God. As I ex- plored this God and the Church, I came to believe in Jesus Christ, as the revelation to humanity of the new and everlasting covenant. Reading Scripture and the lives of people that were touched by the Son of God, made the hunger grow deeper. Yes, I do believe, but what now was my deep felt yearning. I prayed. I prayed, a lot. The beauty of Creation was a strong influence on St. Therese of the Child Jesus.

St Therese Calendar 2020_Layout 1 01/10/2019 08:18 Page 3 Dear Friend, The Carmelite Family is very blessed to have a Family of Saints associated with us: Saints Louis and Zélie Martin and their daughter, St. Thérèse of Lisieux. We believe that the Martin Family embody what is best in family life and offer a wonderful example of what a family can become. Consequently, in conjunction with its organisers, we arranged that the Relics of these three extraordinary Saints would be in Ireland for the World Meeting of Families. They travelled around the country so that as many people as possible could visit them and, of course, they were present at the Papal Mass in the Phoenix Park. We were delighted with the positive and warm reception that the Relics received over the five weeks they were in Ireland. I take this opportunity to thank again all those who were involved in this great event. Louis and Zélie were canonized by Pope Francis in 2015, the first couple to be canonized. This was a recognition that married life and parenting are a very special and important vocation.
