HAPPY FEAST OF ALL CARMELITE SAINTS!
Celebrate by spending some alone time in prayer and quiet your soul. 🌹🙏🌹 tradcatfem.com
The whole family of Carmel in the homeland, with Mary its Mother at its head, is the reason for our joy and our praise to the Father on this day.
We recall our Carmelites saints brothers and sisters who once dedicated their lives to continual prayer on earth and now share in the worship in Heaven.

BLESSED TITUS BRANDSMA: "The lives of the Carmelite saints are proof that the contemplative and active life can be successfully combined and lead to sanctity." 🌹
ST. TERESA OF AVILA: "All of us who wear this holy Carmelite habit are called to prayer and contemplation.
This is what we were founded for.
We are descended from those holy fathers of ours on Mount Carmel." https://bit.ly/2Pyrn2O 🌹
O Saints of Carmel, throned above
In Mary's court, obtain this grace
That where you are in glory now
We too may find a resting place."

O God, you called us to imitate the prophet Elijah, living in intimacy with you; by living always in your presence, may we grow in your love and be zealous for your glory.
O God, you raised up the Carmelite family in the Church to live in holiness, longing for mystical union with you in contemplation; may we always seek your face and so be able to teach others the way of friendship with you. Amen.
🌹
Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us.
Elijah, pray for us.
All ye Carmelite saints, pray for us
