Year of Mercy Reflection

Meditations on Mercy - In her diary "Divine Mercy in My Soul" St. Faustina, who brought the Divine Mercy image and messages to the world, wrote about the image and its meaning, relating this story of a vision she received during a Corpus Christi procession, honoring the Body and Blood of Christ. "When on one occasion my confessor told me to ask the Lord Jesus the meaning of the two rays in the image, I answered, "Very well, I will ask the Lord." "During prayer I heard these words within me: The two rays denote Blood and Water. The pale ray stands for the water that makes souls righteous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls ... These two rays issued forth from the very depths of My tender mercy when my agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross." (Diary, 299) "Once, the image was being exhibited over the altar during the Corpus Christi procession… When the priest exposed the Blessed Sacrament, and the choir began to sing, the rays from the image pierced the Sacred Host and spread out all over the world. Then I heard these words: These rays of mercy will pass through you, just as they have passed through this Host, and they will go out through all the world." (Diary, 441) Trust in the Mercy of God, ever present in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar; the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Carmelite Corner

The Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel p 1 (2/15)

The Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel is the habit of the Carmelite Order.

For the religious members of the Order it takes the form of two long, undecorated panels of brown cloth joined at the shoulders and falling, one to the front and one to the back.

For the laity it takes the form of two smaller pieces of brown or dark cloth, joined over the shoulder by rib-bons, and falling, one to the back, the other to the front.

The Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is best understood in the context of our Catholic faith. It offers us a rich spiritual tradition that honors Mary as the first and foremost of her Son’s disciples. It offers an effective symbol of Mary’s protection to the Order of Carmel. – its members, associates, and affiliates – as they strive to fulfill their vocation as defined by the Car-melite Rule of Saint Albert: “to live in allegiance to Je-sus Christ.”

For additional information about the Lay Carmelites, contact Rebecca Moak at 509-460-1608.

Spiritual Practices

Ignatian Spirituality

Ignatian Spirituality teaches us how to seek and then pursue the greater glory of God. This experience of per-sonal love helps us understand more deeply how much God loves us, and how important we are to God. Experi-encing God's love counteracts self-loathing and rejec-tion. It helps us eliminate our fears. The Exercises teach us just how much God loves us as we are, and how im-portant it is to remember that love so we can live out our vocation. A new session of the Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life (SEEL) will begin again in September. To sign up or get more information, call Ellen at 628-8626. For Spanish call Cesar at 942-1050. Or email us at spiritualexercises@msn.com.
