The True History of Our Lady of Mount Carmel & The Brown Scapular Explained (16 July)

About this sermon

Today we celebrate the great Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, commemorating the Blessed Virgin Mary's appearance to St. Simon Stock on July 16, 1251, when she entrusted the Brown Scapular to the Carmelite Order. In this sermon we explore the remarkable history of Mount Carmel—from the Prophet Elijah's victory over the prophets of Baal, to the ancient hermits awaiting the coming Messiah, to the founding of the Carmelite Order, and finally to Our Lady's gift of the Brown Scapular. What exactly did Our Lady promise? What is the Sabbatine Privilege? What are the actual requirements for enrollment in the Brown Scapular? This talk carefully explains authentic Catholic teaching while correcting common misconceptions surrounding the Brown Scapular devotion. Topics include: • Prophet Elijah and Mount Carmel • The Carmelite Order's ancient origins • St. Simon Stock and the Brown Scapular • The Scapular Promise • The Sabbatine Privilege • Third Order Carmelites • St. Teresa of Avila's Carmelite reforms • Marian devotion • The spiritual meaning of Mount Carmel • Living Carmelite spirituality in everyday life The Brown Scapular is not superstition or a "magic charm," but a sign of consecration to Our Lady, encouraging a life of prayer, chastity according to one's state in life, devotion to the Rosary, and fidelity to Jesus Christ. May Our Lady of Mount Carmel lead us ever closer to her Divine Son.
