Our Lady of Mount Carmel (16 July) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

On the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (July 16), Dom Prosper Guéranger leads us through one of the most beautiful Marian meditations found in The Liturgical Year. Beginning with Mount Carmel itself—the mountain of the Prophet Elijah—this reflection traces the biblical, prophetic, and historical foundations of the Carmelite Order and the profound significance of the Brown Scapular. Discover how Elijah's vision of the little cloud rising from the sea prefigures the Blessed Virgin Mary, how the disciples of Elijah became the first Carmelites, and how Our Lady bestowed the Brown Scapular upon St. Simon Stock in 1251. Dom Guéranger also explores the Carmelite tradition, the promises associated with the Scapular, the Carmelite Order's role in the Church, and the enduring devotion to the Queen of Carmel. Whether you are enrolled in the Brown Scapular or simply wish to deepen your love for Our Blessed Mother, this timeless meditation reveals why Mount Carmel has remained one of the Church's greatest Marian devotions for centuries.
