Mount Carmel Feast Day

 Five scapulars with "Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, feast day July 16th. This is the feast of the Carmelites. The Order of Carmelites takes its name from Mount Carmel, which was the first place dedicated to the Blessed Virgin and where a capel was erected in her honor before her Assumption into heaven. July 16 is also the feast of the "Scapular or Mount Carmel". On that day in 1251, pious traditions says, the Blessed Virgin appeared to St. Simon Stock, General of the Carmelites and Cambridge, England, showed him the scapular and promised supernatural favors and her special protection to his Order and to all persons who would wear her scapular.

Prayer of the Scapular - Lord, let the motherly prayer of the glorious Virgin Mary come to our help. Through her support help us to reach the true mount which is Christ. Amen
