Our Lady of Mount Carmel

Today, July 16th, is the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

I am enrolled, but have not had a scapular for a long time, so this is a good reminder for me to get one.

I know it's good to wear the scapular, but I know very little otherwise, about Carmel. I need to learn more, and it looks like the Wikipedia page is pretty good, at least they have some bibliographical resources to look up, which I must do soon, but it's almost time to get out of here for today.

This article also looks pretty good, written by a Carmelite. I found it on the Wikipedia page, but have not yet read it myself. I just had to include something regarding whose feast it is today.

Yesterday, I was wondering why I have no statues of the Blessed Mother. I had a very sad day, and was praying at my relative's room, but I realized it would have been so much better to have had a statue of Our Lady, or Our Lord,or any of many saints,of course.

Because I love worshipping statues, as we Catholics all do, right?

God bless.

July 4, 2014: First Friday

Google Doodle for today:

First Friday Devotion

Well, this is a tough one. Our regular weekday Mass is not happening because it's a holiday. There is a different Mass at a different from the regular time today.
The diligent Catholics could have gone to that because they probably read the bulletin, so they would have known about it.

Oh, those diligent Catholics. There's no keeping up with them.

Then, there are disorganized Catholics with chaotic lives, who don't realize what's going on.

Guess which group I belong to?
