INVESTITURE IN THE BROWN SCAPULAR

Our Lady of Mount Carmel

Mary and the Brown Scapular

The scapular is a sign of Mary's 
permanent and constant motherly love
for Carmelite brothers and sisters.
By their devotion to the scapular,
faithful to a tradition in the Order,
Carmelites express the loving closeness
of Mary to the people of God; 
it is a sign of consecration to Mary.
Our enrollment to the Scapular implies our
affiliation to the Carmelite family.


The Brown Scapular

Scapulars will be provided
To secure your place in this particular blessing
and enrollment, please contact Theresa

Let us Pray...

Canticle: Isaiah 12:1-6
Joy of God’s ransomed people


If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink (John 7:37).

I give you thanks, O Lord; 
though you have been angry with me, *
your anger has abated, and you have consoled me.

God indeed is my savior; *
I am confident and unafraid.
My strength and my courage is the Lord, *
and he has been my savior.

With joy you will draw water *
at the fountain of salvation, and say on that day:
Give thanks to the Lord, acclaim his name; 
among the nations make known his deeds, *
proclaim how exalted is his name.

Sing praise to the Lord for his glorious achievement; *
let this be known throughout all the earth.

Shout with exultation, O city of Zion, 
for great in your midst *
is the Holy One of Israel!

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. 
Amen.

Romans 14:17-19
"The kingdom of God is not a matter of eating or drinking, but of justice, peace, and the joy that is given by the Holy Spirit. Whoever serves Christ in this way pleases God and wins the esteem of men. Let us, then, make it our aim to work for peace and to strengthen one another."

INTERCESSIONS

Blessed be God, our Father, who protects his children and never spurns their prayers. Let us humbly implore him:

Enlighten us, Lord.

We thank you, Lord, for enlightening us through your Son,
 fill us with his light throughout the day.

Enlighten us, Lord.

Let your wisdom lead us today, Lord,
 that we may walk in the newness of life.

Enlighten us, Lord.

May we bear hardships with courage for your name’s sake,
 and be generous in serving you.

Enlighten us, Lord.

Direct our thoughts, feelings and actions this day,
 help us to follow your providential guidance.

Enlighten us, Lord.

Let us also offer our own intentions...

Enlighten us, Lord.
