JULY 16TH FEAST OF OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL

On October 13, 1917, Our Lady appeared for the sixth and last time to the shepherd children at Fatima, Portugal, as Our Lady of Mount Carmel holding the brown scapular in her hand. After the 12 noon Mass, Fr. Robert will enroll all those who wish to be enrolled into the confraternity of the Brown Scapular.

PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY

Monday, July 3rd, 7 PM at St. Rosalie’s in Hampton Bays

Is it a coincidence that there are 50 beads on the Rosary and 50 states in our union? At this time in our

world situation, let us come together in front of the Blessed Sacrament to pray for our country. Each bead is prayed for the Precious Blood of Jesus to be poured

over each state and every soul in it.

Do you know…………....The brown Scapular and Our Lady of Mount Carmel The Mother of God made this astounding promise to a humble Carmelite Monk, Saint Simon Stock, in England more than 700 years ago. Most Catholics have learned the story of Saint Simon and the scapular, and were probably enrolled in the Confraternity of the Scapular of Carmel, at the time of their first Holy Communion. But all too soon after those joyful days of youthful innocence, the blessed scapular of Carmel is one day taken off, then lost, and so never worn again by the vast majority of the faithful. What a sad commentary. The Immaculate Heart of Mary has delivered to the Church a precious gift from Heaven, a gift of infinite value because the faithful who accept it will most assuredly be saved. Yet so few will lift a finger to receive what is offered.

Undoubtedly, Satan is pleased with the tremendous lack of gratitude shown toward the Scapular. The Prince of Darkness despises devotion to Mary, for he knows that in the end the humble Virgin shall crush his head. He is especially humiliated by those who practice this simple wordless Marian devotion, for all who piously wear the Scapular join themselves to Mary in a mystical union. Scapular wearers show that they wish to be perpetually united to Our Lady even though they may not be always conscious of, or ad-verting to their union. The Blessed Mother in turn, is continually protecting, and assisting her special chil-

dren who are clothed in the scapular of Carmel, that they might pass through the temptations and trials of this life to the never ending happiness of Heaven. This is the essence of Mary’s promise. To those who piously wear the Scapular she will grant either final perseverance in the state of grace or the grace of final contrition. It must be added that she will not grant the gift of final repentance to obstinate sinners who sacrilegiously use the scapular as an excuse for sin. Such unfortunate souls invariably, at one point, rid themselves of the holy garment and die without the consolation of its promise. But now, more than ever before, those who truly wish to please God should heed to His Mother’s heavenly counsel and wear the holy habit of Carmel. In doing so they will not be disappointed, for as Our Lady reminds us, “He that hearkeneth to me, shall not be confounded…” (Ecclesiasticus 24: 30, Mass of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, July 16).

The Carmelite Order is the only one in the Church that can trace its origin back to the Old Testament. Elias (Elijah) who lived some 800 years before the birth of Our Lord, was fittingly chosen by God to be its founder. He was the fiery prophet who never died but was carried away from the earth in a blazing chariot, a symbol of the burning zeal and love of God which would prevail among the Carmelites. He was the glowing figure who, together with Moses, appeared with Our Divine Lord at the Transfiguration, a symbol of the eternal glory which will be awarded to those who die clothed in the habit of Carmel. The name of the Order is derived from the Mount of Carmel in Palestine where dwelt the disciples of the prophet Elias (Elijah) and after him, Eliseus (Elisha). These pious souls were really the first in history to devote their lives solely to prayer and contemplation. Their knowledge of the scriptures and particularly of the prophets inspired in them a tremendous longing for the fulfillment of those prophecies concerning the birth of the Messiah.

It has long been a practice in the Church to encourage the formation of Confraternities for laymen who wish to be affiliated to religious Orders, that they might participate in their good words and devotions, without pronouncing the vows of a religious. Despite what some skeptics have said, such a confraternity was established by the Carmelites while Saint Simon Stock still lived. The members of this association subsequently received indulgences and other favors from Pope Urban IV, who died one year before Saint Simon, in 1264. It is also held for certain that those who became members of the Confraternity of Our Lady of Mount Carmel were allowed to wear the Carmelite Scapular thus enabling them to share in the immense benefit of Our Lady’s treasured garb. The Scapular is tangible proof of Mary’s concern for each individual soul, a ready instrument given to the faithful to assist them in life’s most essential task, that of gaining eternal life.

Our Lady’s Scapular is indeed a most powerful sacramental and its degree of efficacy depends on our faith in her intercession. Theologians distinguish between the ordinary state and the active state of investiture in the Scapular. The former is simply a passive wearing of the Scapular but the latter is an active realization of the Scapular’s power. As volumes of personal testimony in the Carmelite archives clearly show, Mary frequently offers miraculous protection to those who place their full confidence in her Scapular. Since the first Scapular miracle performed by Saint Simon Stock in 1251, innumerable wonders have been wrought with the Scapular for both the physical and spiritual good of the faithful throughout the world. So as to emphasize the importance of the Scapular of Carmel, Our Lady, on one occasion, chose to wear the Carmelite habit when she appeared to the three little children at Fatima, Portugal. This particular apparition which occurred on October 13, 1917 was her sixth and final appearance to the Fatima shepherds. It was accompanied by what has been termed the “greatest modern miracle.” For on that memorable day the 70,000 spectators who were gathered at Fatima witnessed the sun whirling in the sky like an enormous ball of fire. Our Lady’s message at Fatima was that the world must pray, do penance, and be consecrated to her Immaculate Heart. Mary’s favorite prayer is the Rosary…the penances which please her most are the little daily sufferings anyone can offer…and what better way is there to be perpetually consecrated to her Immaculate Heart than by wearing the Brown Scapular?
