On 16th July, the Church celebrates Our Lady of Mount Carmel, patron saint of the Carmelites and of all those who seek inner peace in the midst of a busy life. It is also the silent and discreet anniversary of the eighteenth and last apparition<\/a> of the Virgin Mary to the Lourdes visionary, Saint Bernadette Soubirous<\/a>, in Lourdes in 1858. <\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

That day, Bernadette could not go to the Grotto of Massabielle<\/strong><\/a>, which was closed to the public by the authorities. So, she went to the other side of the Gave, opposite the Grotto. And there she saw \u2018the Beautiful Lady\u2019 one last time. It was a silent apparition. Not a word was spoken. But the light of her presence<\/strong> was enough: Bernadette would say that she saw the Virgin \u201cas if I were in the grotto,\u201d<\/strong> even though she was physically separated and, according to Bernadette, \u201cshe was more beautiful than ever.\u201d<\/strong>
A Marian smile of approval, a last look, full of gentleness and promise. The Virgin Mary faded into silence, as if to clear a path for the saint’s mission.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Mother of silence and hope<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel has its origins in the tradition of the prophet Elijah, on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land, the place where he met God in the gentle breeze<\/strong> (1 Kings 19:12). The Carmelites saw Mary as the summit of this silent and dependable listening.
The Carmelite scapular, a sign of Marian protection, reminds us of this mutual fidelity between Mary and her children<\/strong>. \u2018Whoever wears me will not be lost\u2019, is the saying. On 16th July, we are invited to place ourselves under the mantle of the Virgin, entrusting our struggles, our doubts and our paths of faith to her maternal care.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
