♰🎶 Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel 🎶♰
Prayer written by Saint Simon Stock
🇻🇦 Flos Carmeli,
vitis florigera,
splendor cæli,
virgo puerpera
singularis.
Mater mitis
sed viri nescia
Carmelitis
da privilegia
Stella Maris.
Radix Jesse
germinans flosculum
nos ad esse
tecum in sæculum
patiaris.
Inter spinas
quæ crescis lilium
serva puras
mentes fragilium
tutelaris.
Armatura
fortis pugnantium
furunt bella
tende præsidium
scapularis.
Per incerta
prudens consilium
per adversa
iuge solatium
largiaris.
Mater dulcis
Carmeli domina,
plebem tuam
reple lætitia
qua bearis.
Paradisi
clavis et ianua,
fac nos duci
quo, Mater, gloria
coronaris.
Amen
🇺🇸 Flower of Carmel,
Tall vine blossom laden;
Splendour of heaven,
Childbearing yet maiden.
None equals thee.
Mother so tender,
Who no man didst know,
On Carmel's children
Thy favours bestow.
Star of the Sea.
Strong stem of Jesse,
Who bore one bright flower,
Be ever near us
And guard us each hour,
who serve thee here.
Purest of lilies,
That flowers among thorns,
Bring help to the true heart
That in weakness turns
and trusts in thee.
Strongest of armour,
We trust in thy might:
Under thy mantle,
Hard press'd in the fight,
we call to thee.
Our way uncertain,
Surrounded by foes,
Unfailing counsel
You give to those
who turn to thee.
O gentle Mother
Who in Carmel reigns,
Share with your servants
That gladness you gained
and now enjoy.
Hail, Gate of Heaven,
With glory now crowned,
Bring us to safety
Where thy Son is found,
true joy to see.
Amen.

Here’s a Christmas miracle for all the non believers of Jesus Christ our savior!
Ramsey was born clinically dead. She was put on life support immediately after being born.
She was un responsive and had little to no signs of life. She had a blood clot in her cord for over 30 minutes and no oxygen for 15 despite all efforts.
According to "science" she should be brain dead or we should have completely lost her that day. According to God and his plans he put her on this earth for a reason and he wasn't done with her 3 years ago today. I lost too much blood to be able to function normally so my mom and dad came to the hospital to make the decisions I couldn't help Jed with. They
immediately called Father John to do an emergency baptism because it didn't look like she was going to make it.
This video is the very first time she showed any response. She hadn't cried, opened her eyes, moved, breathed, nothing.
As soon as Father John Baptized her, she tried to cry over her vent, she moved her eyes and her body for the very first time.
If you need a reason this Christmas to believe or a reason to have hope for anything that doesn't seem to be going your way, this is it. She shouldn't be here. At the very least she should have been severely brain damaged.
Everything was against her as far as science went. But God was in her corner and that's all she needed. All odds were against her. You can quite literally see the life come back to her
She's alive, she's completely normal, she's living the life we thought she would never get to live thanks be to God

The incredibly beautiful moment when Pope Leo XIV enters the Monastery of St. Maroun as the choir sings an ancient hymn to Saint Charbel, first in Arabic, then in Syriac. Watch to the end, when the Pope pauses in silence to pray before the shrine of St. Charbel, a profoundly important spot for Lebanese Christians.
The original statue of Our Lady of Fatima is in Rome this weekend for Jubilee of Marian Spirituality. It is usually housed in the Chapel of the Apparitions in Cova da Iria, Fatima, Portugal

“So as we walk through this exhortation – grateful for what is true, but alert to what is a mirage – we see how certain phrases, borrowed from old liberation movements, change the meaning of mercy.” https://t.co/eIk5ig9LFN
COMMENTARY: The Second Vatican Council reminded the faithful that in serving the poor, the Church encounters Christ himself — the Savior who became poor to make the world rich with grace.
