Submit Your Intentions: July 7 -15 Holy Masses imploring Our Lady of Mount Carmel & July 16 Feast Day Holy Mass

Dear Friend, 

Our Lady of Mount Carmel, also known as the Virgin of Carmel, is a title given to the Blessed Virgin Mary – for she is the Patroness of the Carmelite Order.  The order began in the 12th century with Christian hermits living in caves on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land, where they dedicated their first chapel to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Now, Cloistered Carmelite Nuns, Carmelite Fathers, Brothers and Lay Carmelites around the world will soon begin a Novena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel before the July 16th Feast Day. In fact, the Discalced Carmelite Nuns of The Infant of Prague and St. Joseph in Dallas, Texas asked if we could again join them in praying the novena, not only for the current state of the Catholic Church, world affairs and the conversion of sinners, but for our own personal intentions as well as those of our loved ones. 

So, won’t you join me? I ask that you submit your intentions, which will be included in nine days of Holy Masses, from July 7 -15 and one Holy Mass on July 16, the feast day, where we will thank the Virgin of Carmel for favors granted and all the blessings we have received. 

Together, let us spiritually climb that holy mountain with our prayers and sacrifices, as we prepare for the glorious Carmelite feast day, honoring Our Lady of Mount Carmel. 

Holy Mary, everlasting strength and mercy because of thy efficacious intercession, pray for us!

Your friend in Christ,

Thomas McKenna
