Prelude to the second reading at Vigils (Office of Readings)<\/a>:<\/strong>
\n
\nSacred Scripture celebrated the beauty of Carmel<\/a> where the prophet Elijah defended the purity of Israel\u2019s faith in the living God. In the twelfth century, hermits withdrew to that mountain and later founded the Carmelite Order<\/a> devoted to the contemplative life under the patronage of Mary, the holy Mother of God.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Feastday of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel<\/strong> is kept with great joy by Carmelites active<\/a> and contemplative<\/a>. We remember Mary and we remember the holy men and women<\/a>, doctors and reformers of the church, who have come through the Order and taught us so much.<\/p>\n

It is kept with great joy by the laity, as well.<\/strong> Especially, it seems, in the streets of Brookyn!<\/a> Go watch that video; it\u2019s a riot, but it\u2019s also moving; it\u2019s cultural, it\u2019s religious, it\u2019s traditional, it\u2019s neighborhood-building. It\u2019s a good thing. I bet Mary would like it! Deacon Greg has the whole story<\/a><\/p>\n

Also, today, some of us who wear the Brown Scapular<\/a> (the giving of which is commemorated, today), will replace their old, worn scapular with a new one. I won\u2019t, yet. I credit the faithfully penitential wearing of my tiny hair shirt an abundance of graces and a wholly different outlook<\/a> in my life. I think I will wear this one until it just can\u2019t be worn, anymore!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
