The standard to which He calls us is the standard of Christian holiness, which is fidelity to the truth He has revealed and fidelity to His command to love everyone, including those who have made themselves our enemies, just like He has loved us. Every crisis that the Church faces, every crisis that the Church has ever confronted, is a crisis of saints. A crisis is a time in which we turn much more to God for the grace we need to remain faithful, and in that crucible God forms us to be adequate in responding to the time, just like He did in converting the debauched Roman empire, just like He did in overcoming the barbarians, and just like he has done in so many missionary lands. As we come to present ourselves as gifts before the altar, let us open ourselves wholeheartedly to the help He give us so that we will not return evil for the evil we will suffer, or insult for insult, but on the country return a blessing — the blessing of God living within us — because it is to this that we were called. Canon Antoine Boucheron Commemoration of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Tuesday, July 16, 6:00 p.m. Mass Our Lady of Mt. Carmel (1251 A.D.) is a title of the Blessed Virgin Mary associated with the Carmelite Order. The first Carmelites lived as hermits on Mt. Carmel in the Holy Land beginning in the 12th century. In the middle of their hermitages they built a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary, who became the protectress of the Carmelites under the title of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to a Carmelite hermit, St. Simon Stock, under this title and gave him a piece of cloth—the brown scapular—as a sacramental to be worn by the faithful to whom she promised her special protection. At the apparitions in Fatima, in addition to appearing as Our Lady of the Rosary, the Virgin Mary appeared as Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Her feast day is July 16th. WHAT IS THE BROWN SCAPULAR? The scapular is a sacramental. (It comes from the Latin word scapula, which means “shoulder blade.”) It is made of two rectangular squares of cloth attached by strings. It is placed over the head, and worn with one square in front and the other in back. Tradition tells us that Our Lady appeared to St. Simon Stock on July 16, 1251. Simon was a prior general of the Carmelites and had been praying for the order, which was undergoing intense trials. It is said that Mary appeared to him, surrounded by angels, giving him the scapular, saying: “Receive, my beloved son, this habit of thy order…whosoever dies clothed in this shall never suffer eternal fire.” RECEIVE THE BROWN SCAPULAR You may receive the Brown Scapular, the Mantle of Our Lady on Tuesday, July 16 immediately following the 6:00 p.m. Mass. Those who wish to be enrolled, please be in the front pews following the 6:00 pm Mass WEAR YOUR BROWN SCAPULAR! “Take, beloved son this scapular as a badge of my confraternity and a special sign of grace; whoever dies in this garment, will not suffer everlasting fire. It is the sign of salvation, a safeguard in dangers, and a pledge of peace and of the covenant.” (The Mother of God to St. Simon Stock) “As a tender mother, I will descend into Purgatory on the Saturday after their death and will deliver them and bring them to the holy mountain, into the happy sojourn of life everlasting.” (Words of the Blessed Mother to Pope John XXII) The Conditions, expressing the special trust you place into the Blessed Virgin Mary, are: 1. Be enrolled or vested with the Brown Scapular by any Roman Catholic Priest. 2. Wear the Scapular in good faith. 3. Be chaste. (according to your state in life) 4. Recite daily the Little Hours of the Blessed Virgin or (in addition to the commanded days), abstain from meat on all Wednesdays and Saturdays of the year. (except when Christmas falls on one of these days) N.B. The Priest commonly commutes the fourth condition into another pious work (e. g. Recite 3 Hail Mary’s daily in Honor of Mary’s Immaculate Conception). After your enrollment you become a member of the spiritual family of Carmel (Confraternity of the Brown Scapular) and therefore share into the prayers and spiritual treasures of the order. A common Question; After being enrolled, do subsequent Scapulars need to be blessed? No...subsequent Scapulars need not be blessed as the blessing and imposition are attached to the wearer for life. St. Camillus de Lellis Thursday, July 18, 8:00 a.m. Mass St. Camillus de Lellis (1550–1614) was a wild, undisciplined youth who became a battle-hardened soldier with a violent temper and a gambling addiction. His bad behavior, combined with a persistent war wound in his leg, left him in poverty. He found work doing odd jobs at a Capuchin friary. Gradually the good influence of the friars inspired him to a better life, and he experienced a true conversion. He sought to join the Franciscans, but was prevented due to his leg wound. He then moved to Rome and worked for a hospital that cared for patients with incurable illnesses. He later became its director as he continued a life of penance and virtue. Seeing that his patients often received poor attention from hospital staff, he devoted his life to providing excellent care for the sick, in whom he saw the face of Christ. He established a religious order of men committed to helping patients who were the most ill, even at the risk of their own well-being, known as the Order of St. Camillus, or the Camillians. For this task he studied for the priesthood and was ordained at the late age of 34. His order gave medical care to anyone in need of treatment. In addition to serving in hospitals, they also served on the battlefield. The Camillians developed into a worldwide relief effort of like-minded medical workers who seek to follow Christ through ministering to the sick. The large red cross on his habit became an international symbol of charitable medical aid. St. Camillus is the patron of the sick, hospitals, nurses, and physicians. His feast day is July 18th.

    St. Camillus of Lellis Catholic.net Also known as • Camillus de Lellis • Camillo de Lellis Memorial • 14 July • 18 July (United States) Profile • Son of a military officer who had served both for Naples and France. His mother died when Camillus was very young. He spent his youth as a soldier, fighting for the Venetians against the Turks, and then for Naples. Reported as a large individual, perhaps as tall as 6’6″ (2 metres), and powerfully built, but he suffered all his life from abscesses on his feet. A gambling addict, he lost so much he had to take a job working construction on a building belonging to the Capuchins; they converted him. • Camillus entered the Capuchin noviate three times, but a nagging leg injury, received while fighting the Turks, each time forced him to give it up. He went to Rome, Italy for medical treatment where Saint Philip Neri became his priest and confessor. He moved into San Giacomo Hospital for the incurable, and eventually became its administrator. Lacking education, he began to study with children when he was 32 years old. Priest. Founded the Congregation of the Servants of the Sick (the Camillians or Fathers of a Good Death) who, naturally, care for the sick both in hospital and home. The Order expanded with houses in several countries. Camillus honoured the sick as living images of Christ, and hoped that the service he gave them did penance for his wayward youth. Reported to have the gifts of miraculous healing and prophecy. Born • 25 May 1550 at Bocchiavico, Abruzzi, kingdom of Naples, Italy página 1 / 2 St.

    Father Malachi Martin's Visit to the Senate and Our Lady of Fatima

    Dr. Robert Hickson 16 May 2016 Saint Brendan the Navigator (d.578) Saint Simon Stock (d. 1265) Saint John Nepomucene (d. 1393) Father Malachi Martin's Visit to the Senate and Our Lady of Fatima --Epigraphs-- On the Gift of Fear (Donum Timoris) as Part of the Order of Fear (Ordo Timoris): “One of the last verifiable [components] of the theses that define the image of man for our time holds that it is not seemly for man to be afraid. Waters from two sources are mingled in this attitude. One is an enlightened liberalism that relegates fearfulness to the realm of the unreal and in whose world view, accordingly, there is no room for fear except in a figurative sense. The other is an un-Christian stoicism that is secretly allied with both presumption and despair [i.e., the two forms of hopelessness, both of which are also grave sins against the Holy Ghost, in “the classical theology of the Church”] and [this stoicism] confronts in defiant invulnerability—without fear, but also without hope —the evils of existence, which it sees with admirable clarity. “The classical theology of the Church is especially removed from both the oversimplification of liberalism and the desperate rigidity of stoicism. It takes for granted that fears are a reality of human existence. And it takes equally for granted that man will respond to what is objectively fearful with fear [e.g., such as being permanently separated from the beloved, to include Our Beloved Lord and Vita Aeterna also with the Blessed Mother]....On the basis of this theology one must assume, then, that something is not quite in order [in the due and proportioned “ordo timoris”] when a man is afraid of nothing [“intimiditas”], and that the ideal of 'stoic' invulnerability and fearlessness is based on a false interpretation of man and reality itself.
  • Patrocinium of Calasanz

    Patrocinium of Calasanz

    The Patrocinium of St. Joseph Calasanz November 27 Although the Feast of St. Joseph Calasanz is celebrated on August 25, this date often falls at the end of summer vacation for most Piarist Schools. As a result, the religious order has designated November 27, which is the day he opened Europe’s first free public school, as the Patrocinium, a special day to honor and celebrate St. Joseph Calasanz. Joseph was born on September 11, 1557 in a tiny village called Peralta de la Sal. He was a Spanish priest from Aragon, Spain, who went to Rome at the end of the sixteenth century and started schools for poor and homeless children. He also started a religious congregation to serve these schools which is today spread throughout the world. He was well educated in philosophy, law and theology at the Spanish universities of Estadilla, Lerida, and Valencia. His family initially did not support his religious calling. His father wanted him to marry and to continue the family, but after recovering from an illness which brought him close to death, Calasanz was ordained as a priest on December 17, 1583. He subsequently became vicar general of Tremp. He later relinquished much of his inheritance and resigned his vicariate. For the next ten years, he held various posts as a secretary, administrator and theologian in the Diocese of Albarracín in Spain. In 1592, Joseph went to Rome, where he became a theologian in the service of Cardinal Marcoantonio Colonna and a tutor to his nephew. He worked alongside St. Camillus de Lellis during the plague, which hit Rome at the time.

    Our Lady of Mt. Carmel 16 July 2017 • During

    Our Lady of Mt. Carmel 16 July 2017 During the Crusades of the 12th century, a band of men – worn out by their battles over the Holy Land – decided to live the life of hermits on Mt. Carmel in northern Israel. There they lived separately in their own hermitages, but prayed together in a chapel they built and dedicated to Our Lady. Seeking to honor and devote themselves to Mary as their patroness, these men called themselves the Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mt. Carmel. In the 13th century, though, Saracens overran the Holy Land, and the Carmelites (as they came to be known) had to flee Mt. Carmel and return to their home countries in Europe. As they returned home and set up new Carmelite communities, they found the 13th c. Europe into which they were settling a difficult place, having to compete for precious resources with the dozens of new religious communities springing up all around. Added to this hardship was a division in the Carmelite Order as to whether they should cling to their roots as hermits or adapt to a mendicant way of life like that taken up by their contemporaries: the Franciscans and Dominicans. In the midst of these difficult times for the Carmelites, Our Lady appeared to the Carmelite’s prior general: St. Simon Stock, in Aylesford, England, on July 16, 1251. When she appeared to St. Simon Stock, Our Lady held out to him the brown scapular, and promised that whoever would wear the scapular devoutly throughout life would enjoy eternal salvation.

    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.
