De Monte Carmelo


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.
