Our Lady of Mt. Carmel (16 July): History of Carmelites & the Devotion to the Brown Scapular

[@waynenoll1967]

Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us!

[@st.lawrence_pupil]

i don't know why it always feels like its Christmas whenever I do my yearly consecration to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel .

[@koolertrek]

We are so lucky to have these people who have gotten so close to Jesus. We can learn so much from them. God has no limitations. Continue the road to the peak.

[@gotogd1233]

You can too! St Teresa of Avila and St John of the Cross teaches us that those who search within do find Our Lord. Look into becoming a member of The Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites (OCDS) - their formation program is genuinely a spiritual fount of treasures.

[@AMDG918]

In God’s Providence I just bought the scapular for myself and my family. Not knowing the feast day is tomorrow! Thank you, God and Mary!

[@florencenambaziira3246]

To God be the glory. Mother Mary pray for us now and at the hour of our death. Amen

Happy Feast of Our Lady, ornament and beauty of Carmel,

[@Matthew-sz3rf]

I'm wearing my brown scapular. I'm most definitely grateful for the graces from the Holy Mother of God of Mt. Carmel

[@John2verse5]

Ave MARÍA🌹🌷🌹 Obedient Servants/Saints Elijah, Simon Stock, John of the Cross & Teresa of Avila, please pray with us and for us.

Thank you Fr. That’s where I was born and grew up in the Holy Land. Also went to a Carmelite school. The mountain and monastery are mesmerising. For those who didn’t have the chance to be there I have a video on my channel (Play list: Traditional Catholicism).

[@TuanPham-hx6ez]

I was enrolled in the Brown Scapula last year by father Dominic Boulet at SSPX church. Last Sunday he once again enrolled other parishioners

[@marysslave913]

First miracle Jesus did was through Mary. evidence Jesus wants us to go through her intersession. Cuz the King always answers his mother. He wants his mother happy 😇. And so should we ✝️

[@gotogd1233]

Every traditional catholic should become a member of The Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites (OCDS) and teach others to live out Carmelite Spirituality... such a spiritual fount of treasures!

Sacred Scripture celebrated the beauty of Carmel where the prophet Elijah defended the purity of Israel’s faith in the living God. In the twelfth century, hermits withdrew to that mountain overlooking the Plain of Megiddo and later founded the Order devoted to the contemplative life under the patronage of Mary, the Mother of God.

[@JoellHedges-dm1mu]

And then not too much later, Saint John wrote the Apocalypse, Revelation 6:10, and the prayer of the Holy Saints and Martyrs crying out from under the Altar. “How long, Oh Lord (Holy and True) dost thou not Judge and revenge our blood on them that dwell on the Earth?

[@gotogd1233]

It might strike your interest that it was prophesied that when Our Lord returns, the Prophet Elijah will precede him and that he will undergo many trials with many trying to condemn him. When islam invaded Jerusalem and took possession of the Temple Mount they intentionally built a cemetery at the gate where Prophet Elijah is supposed to enter through during the end times - Their reasoning is so that Prophet Elijah cannot enter through being that under judaic law it would defile him- so he has been locked out... In response, on every Passover, Jews set an extra cup of wine on the dinner table and open the door for the enigmatic prophet Elijah, hoping he will enter.

I’ve heard children cry mama in my sleep the first time and cry angry in my sleep a second time. Should I pray for a child I possibly miscarried early a few weeks? Or for the times my husband and I weren’t open to children? Not sure if it’s demonic. it makes me sad I really want to have a 3rd child but we are struggling. I feel I should pray for all the babies miscarried aborted or ones that never came to be because of the sins of masturbation and birth control. I don’t know what to think about this.

[@lorenatenorio3311]

Is there a place or a address we can write to to get enrolled

[@michaelbarbolla9461]

I didn't know there were 3 Books of Kings? I only have 2 Book of Kings.

[@robinhough8714]

What happened to your supposed to Read the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary everyday unless your priest says you can do the Rosary daily? I do both and i don't allows do the whole L. O. B.V.M. does how traditional my priest is have something to do with it? Has it changed to make it easier on people who want to wear it. I like my devotional and I'm not looking for an excuse to give it up, I'm just asking because I heard elsewhere about the Little Office too.

[@DoingMyBest18]

The information I received was that abstaining from meat on Wednesday and Saturdays or praying the Little Office is required.

[@Mike_and_Ike-xb3io]

I’ve gone to several priests to enroll brown scapular, and they were a little confused how to do it. Is this common?

[@tradcatholiccharles7923]

So sad that priest today lack the knowledge on sacramentals. They have books that contain prayers for such enrollments. If possible write to a Carmelite order and request several brown scapulars, making a donation to them. The try to find a Traditional Latin priest to give you the blessing and enrollment. Ave Maria

[@loist9022]

Go to a Latin Mass priest. The Novus Ordo priests often don't know and even if they are willing will not do the ceremony correctly. Take the time to find an FSSP priest.

[@Mike_and_Ike-xb3io]

@@loist9022 does that include RCI priests? Thank you
