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.
