Today’s homily: Our Lady of Mount Carmel (2026)

Mount Carmel is the mountain upon which Elias compelled Israel to choose between the living God and Baal, and where the little cloud prefigured the Blessed Virgin bearing Christ, the rain of grace, to a spiritually barren world. The brown scapular is therefore not a talisman but a garment of allegiance: a call to live beneath Mary’s mantle by hearing the word of God, keeping it, rejecting the idols of the age, and persevering faithfully in Christ until death. https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/07/16/todays-homily-our-lady-of-carmel/
