Cum vidisset ergo Iesus matrem et discipulum stantem, quem diligebat, dicit matri: “ Mulier, ecce filius tuus ”. Deinde dicit discipulo: “ Ecce mater tua ”. Et ex illa hora accepit eam discipulus in sua. - John 19: 26-27
Today is a good day to get invested in the Brown Scapular, or to look into the Third Order or Secular Carmelites, or even better, checking out the Friars, Nuns, Hermits and Monks of the Carmelite Orders who wear the actual type of scapular Our Lady gave St. Simon.
May Our Lady of Mt. Carmel keep you under her mantle.
Flos Carmeli
Fos Carmeli,
vitis florigera,
splendor caeli,
virgo puerpera
singularis.
Mater mitis
sed viri nescia
Carmelitis
esto propitia
stella maris.
Radix Jesse
germinans flosculum
Nos ad esse
tecum in saeculum
patiaris.
Inter spinas
quae crescis lilium
Serva puras
mentes fragiluim
tutelaris.
Armatura
Fortis Pugnantium
Furunt bella
tende praesidium
scapularis.
Per incerta
prudens consilium
Per adversa
iugie solatium
largiaris.
Mater dulcis
Carmeli domina,
plebem tuam
reple laetitia
qua bearis.
Paradisi
clavis et ianua,
fac nos duci
quo, Mater, gloria
coronaris.
Amen.
HAPPY FEAST!!! BEST POST EVER!!!
