St. John of the Cross and the First Discalced Carmelite Friars: CarmelCast Episode 24

[@mariawells8026]

As an OCDS Studying St. John, I am greatly benefiting from your lessons. Thank you and God bless 🙏

[@HastingsMasterson]

Great graces in time of suffering: We are not alone, He is with us always and that He knows we need a son or a mother, as He knew at the cross with Mary and John. It is such a great comfort to know that God gives the saints to each other to help support one another. He sends them 2 by 2, when 2 or 3 are gathered, He will be in their midst. Thank you for bringing to life this beautiful relationship and blessed example of striving for holiness.

Friday, Week 27, Ordinary Time Joel 1:13-15;2:1-2 Gird yourselves, and lament, O ye priests, howl, ye ministers of the altars: go in, lie in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: because sacrifice and libation is cut off from the house of your God. Sanctify ye a fast, call an assembly, gather together the ancients, all the inhabitants of the land into the house of your God: and cry ye to the Lord: Ah, ah, ah, for the day: because the day of the Lord is at hand, and it shall come like destruction from the mighty. Blow ye the trumpet in Sion, sound an alarm in my holy mountain, let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: because the day of the Lord cometh, because it is nigh at hand. A day of darkness, and of gloominess, a day of clouds and whirlwinds: a numerous and strong people as the morning spread upon the mountains: the like to it hath not been from the beginning, nor shall be after it, even to the years of generation and generation. Luke 11:15-26 But some of them said: He casteth out devils by Beelzebub, the prince of devils. And others tempting, asked of him a sign from heaven. But he seeing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself shall be brought to desolation; and house upon house shall fall. And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? Because you say that through Beelzebub I cast out devils. Now if I cast out devils by Beelzebub, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges. But if I by the finger of God cast out devils, doubtless the kingdom of God is come upon you. When a strong man armed keepeth his court, those things are in peace which he possesseth. But if a stronger than he come upon him and overcome him, he will take away all his armour wherein he trusted and will distribute his spoils. He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through places without water, seeking rest: and not finding, he saith: I will return into my house whence I came out. And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then he goeth and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself: and entering in they dwell there. And the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. SOLEMN BLESSING OF THE ARCHANGEL MICHAEL (6 January 2000) For Priests Only Adoration and praise to the most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ, the source of my power. May it fill you all with strength and power. Amen. Adoration to the most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ which opens up the seal. May you all be sealed with the Blood. Amen. Adoration to the Blood that opens up the ocean of Divine Mercy. May it grant you mercy in your days. Amen. Adoration to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ, may it reign in your hearts forever. Amen. May Almighty God bless you; in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

I had my first meeting with a 3rd Order Carmelite group. They are reading a book on St John of the Cross. This series is a great intro before I dive into his life. Thanks!

[@ICSPublications]

That's great to hear, T. W. God bless you in your discernment!

[@storytellingbyprofessorwaf9987]
