Prayer To Our Lady Of Mount Carmel.

Text and Illustration from CATHOLICISM PURE AND SIMPLE

Prayer to Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

Thou, who, with special mercy,

look upon those clothed in thy beloved Habit,

cast a glance of pity upon me.

Fortify my weakness with thy strength;

enlighten the darkness of my mind with thy wisdom;

increase my Faith, Hope and Charity.

Assist me during life,

console me by thy presence at my death,

and present me to the August Trinity as thy devoted child,

that I may Bless thee for all Eternity in Paradise.

Amen.

Commemoration Of The Blessed Virgin Mary Of Mount Carmel.

Feast Day 16 July.

According to a pious tradition authorised by the Liturgy, on the day of Pentecost a number of men who walked in the footsteps of the Holy Prophets, Elias and Eliseus, and whom John the Baptist had prepared for the advent of Jesus, embraced the Christian Faith, and erected the first Church to The Blessed Virgin on Mount Carmel, at the very spot where Elias had seen a cloud rise, a figure of the fecundity of the Mother of God (Lesson of Second Nocturn at Matins).

They were called: Brethren of Blessed Mary of Mount Carmel (Collect). These Religious came to Europe in the 13th-Century and, in 1245, Pope Innocent IV gave his approbation to their Rule under the Generalship of Simon Stock, an English Saint.

On 16 July 1251, Mary appeared to this fervent servant [Simon Stock] and placed in his hands the Habit which was to be their distinctive sign. Pope Innocent IV blessed this Habit and attached to it many privileges, not only for The Members of The Order, but also for those who entered The Confraternity of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

By wearing the Scapular, which is in smaller form than that of The Carmelite Fathers, they participate in all their merits and may hope to obtain through The Virgin a prompt delivery from Purgatory, if they have Faithfully observed Abstinence, Chastity (according to their state), and said the Prayers prescribed by Pope John XXII, in The Sabbatine Bull, published on 3 March 1322.

The Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, at first Celebrated only in the Churches of The Order, was extended to all Christendom by Pope Benedict XIII in 1726.

Mass: Gaudeamus omnes.

POLAND AIMS

FOR TOTAL

ABORTION BAN.

This Article can be read in full at LIFE INSTITUTE.

The mainstream media is forever telling the public that ABORTION is an essential aspect of women’s “healthcare”. They insist that ABORTION be legalised and readily provided by the government. In their eyes, there is no way to stop or slow the steady stream of ABORTIONS and nor do they even wish to.

They would rather that the experience of Poland was not shared, since it demonstrates how faulty their logic is. Poland had been a persistent thorn in the side of the pro-ABORTION lobby as it has made clear that, not only does a modern Nation not need ABORTION, but also that it is possible for a Country to pull itself back from the grip of ABORTION-on-demand and provide better answers for women and their babies.

Poland is currently known for being a Pro-Life Country with effective and life-saving Pro-Life laws. However, this has not always been the case. Poland was first forced to submit to a policy of legal ABORTION-on-demand when the Country was under the control of Adolf Hitler in 1943. Martin Bormann, Hitler’s private secretary said, “The Slavs are to work for us. In so far as we do not need them, they may die. Slav fertility is not desirable.”

Following the Second World War, legalised ABORTION was once again imposed on the Polish under the Communist rule of Josef Stalin in 1956. By 1960, there were more than 150,000 ABORTIONS a year being performed in Poland.

Poland saw 123,500 ABORTIONS in 1987, 59,500 in 1990,11,500 in 1992, 1,200 in 1993, 559 in 1995 and 491 in 1996. Sceptics and ABORTION activists predicted that this would lead to increased maternal death, increased infanticide, and other social ills. However, these predictions have not come true. Poland is a prime example, like Ireland, that it is possible to be both a modern Country and still protect innocent human life.

Now, Poland looks set to completely ban ABORTION, as Pro-Life activists have gathered more than 375,000 signatures for a Petition which should end up in a Parliamentary Vote.

Poland is a powerful reminder of why it is essential to continue to fight to preserve the Pro-Life heart of one’s Country.

National Shrine of The Little Flower,

1621 Linwood Avenue,

Royal Oak,

Michigan 48067,

United States

In Royal Oak, Michigan, the Organisation Invictus Christus is holding a Eucharistic Procession, which will go for 2½ miles from The National Shrine of The Little Flower, 1621 Linwood Avenue, starting at 10:30 hrs, to Saint Mary’s Catholic Church. SEE THEIR WEB-SITE and the Poster, above, for more information.

The following Text is from INVICTUS CHRISTUS

The INVICTUS “Christ in the Streets” Eucharistic Procession is a 1,000-man Procession that carries Christ right through the heart of downtown Royal Oak, Michigan.

The focus of the Procession is twofold: Reparation and Mercy.

Reparation for all those times that we, as men, have not been the men Christ called us to be. Times when we have not shouldered our responsibilities and duties as Spiritual Leaders within our homes. For times, when we have not carried Christ into the World.

Mercy, because we are the ones whom Christ has called; We are the ones that Christ has invited to carry His Cross and share in His Redemption of the World. Mercy because we have received Mercy from Him. Mercy because we were built to pour out His Love – it is our mission to own.

And, if the World is falling into darkness, and, if its vineyard has begun to die of thirst, it is because we have not loved as we have been loved.

The act of Processing with Christ is the first step toward our outward redemption.

It is to do what we have not done;

to love as we have not loved;

because we will have done it with Him.

"This Will Be The Second Time That Mass Has Been Celebrated In This Mediaeval Church Since Pre-Reformation Times."

Saint Augustine's Church,

Snave, Ashford, Kent.

It is possible that a small private Chapel stood on this site before the present building was commenced in the Late-13th-Century. The East End is unusual in that The Lady Chapel
(more recently used as a school room) vies for importance with The Chancel.

Declared redundant in 1983, Saint Augustine's Church is now
entirely maintained by The Romney Marsh Historic Churches Trust.
