From the Pastor To Open Hearts to God

Dear Parishioners, The Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is one of the most popular and beloved Marian celebrations in all the world. July 16th is traditionally the day in which the Catholic church honors her and recalls what happened in the 12th century when a group of hermits began to venerate the Virgin on the slopes of the Carmel mountain range. From this small group of brothers, gathered next to the fountain of Elijah, will be born what today is the Order of the Carmelites, consecrated to the Virgin of Mount Carmel, Mother of the Lord. In the Scripture many references are made to the exuberant vegetation of the sacred Mount of Carmel, linked since ancient times to the experience of God and to the ministry of the prophet Elijah. The luxuriance and beauty of Carmel evokes that other beauty that always adorned Mary: her docility to the word of God, her silent prayer and her unwavering faith. The words of the prophet Isaiah can be rightly applied to her: "They have given him the glory of Lebanon, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon". The brown scapular is along with the rosary, one of the most popular religious objects of devotion in the Catholic Church. Tradition says that Our Lady responded to the prayers of St. Simon Stock in 1251 when she gave him the brown scapular as a sign of devotion, protection as well as a sign of belonging to her. Pope Paul VI, who will be canonized as saint this coming October, spoke of Marian devotions, especially of the Scapular, says “Let the faithful hold in high esteem the practices and devotions to the Blessed Virgin approved by the teaching authority of the Church. It is Our conviction that the Rosary of Mary and the Scapular of Carmel are among these recommended practices. The Scapular is a practice of piety, which by its very simplicity is suited to everyone.” I invite you then, to celebrate the memory of the Feast of Mount Carmel, this coming Monday, July 16th, with a Mass at 6:30 p.m. outside the church on the patio dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. This will be an opportunity to place ourselves in the hands of the Blessed Virgin Mary and have her intercession by the protection she gives us through the brown scapular. I will bless the scapulars after the Mass and impose them to the faithful and remind them that by wearing the scapular, we are committed to live an authentic Christian life, honoring Mary by living her virtues. In Jesus and Mary,

Queridos Feligreses, La fiesta de Nuestra Señora del Monte Carmelo es una de las celebraciones marianas más populares y

queridas en todo el mundo. El julio 16 es tradicionalmente el día en que la iglesia católica la

honra y recuerda lo que sucedió en el siglo XII cuando un grupo de ermitaños comenzó a venerar a la Virgen en las laderas de la cordillera del Carmelo. De este pequeño grupo de hermanos, reunidos junto a la fuente de Elías, nacerá lo que hoy es la Orden de los

Carmelitas, consagrada a la Virgen del Monte Carmelo, Madre del Señor. En las Escrituras se hacen

muchas referencias a la exuberante vegetación del sagrado Monte del Carmelo, vinculado desde la

antigüedad a la experiencia de Dios y al ministerio del profeta Elías. La exuberancia y belleza del Carmelo

evoca esa otra belleza que siempre adornaba a María: su docilidad a la palabra de Dios, su oración

silenciosa y su fe inquebrantable. Las palabras del profeta Isaías pueden aplicarse correctamente a ella: "Le han dado la gloria del Líbano, el esplendor del

Carmelo y de Sarón". El escapulario marrón es junto con el rosario,

uno de los objetos religiosos más populares de la devoción en la Iglesia Católica. La

tradición dice que Nuestra Señora respondió a las oraciones de San Simón Stock en 1251

cuando le dio el escapulario marrón como señal de devoción y protección, así como un

signo de pertenencia a ella. El Papa Pablo VI, que será canonizado como santo este

próximo octubre, hablando de las devociones marianas, especialmente del Escapulario, dice: "Que

los fieles tengan en alta estima las prácticas y devociones a la Santísima Virgen aprobadas por la

autoridad docente de la Iglesia. Estamos convencidos de que el Rosario de María y el Escapulario del

Carmelo se encuentran entre estas prácticas recomendadas. El escapulario es una práctica de

piedad, que por su propia simplicidad es adecuada para todos ".

Los invito, entonces, a celebrar el recuerdo de la fiesta del Monte Carmelo, este próximo lunes, 16 de julio,

con una misa a las 6:30 p.m. afuera de la iglesia en el patio dedicado a la Santísima Virgen María. Esta será

una oportunidad para ponernos en las manos de la Santísima Virgen María y tener su intercesión por la

protección que nos brinda a través del escapulario marrón. bendeciremos los escapularios después de la misa y los impondré a los fieles recordándoles que al usar el escapulario, nos comprometemos a vivir una auténtica vida cristiana, honrando a María viviendo

sus virtudes. En Jesús y María.
