Our Lady of Mount Carmel
July 16The Prophet Elijah ascended Mount Carmel to pray for the heavens to open when the country around him dry and without water. Finally, he saw a small cloud coming in from the sea bearing life-giving rain. In the twelfth century, Christian hermits came to live and pray on this mountain. In their vision, the cloud was a symbol of Mary, the Mother of God, who brought life to a parched world. They honored her under the title of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and later founded an order devoted to prayer under her patronage. Most Beautiful Mother of God, splendor of heaven, you bring fruitfulness to the earth and assist us in our needs. Star of the sea, show yourself a mother to me. Let the healing rain of your comfort fall gently upon me. Hear my voice when I call. Mother of God, I place my cause in your hands. Amen.
