Happy feasts of Our Lady, our Mother Mary, under the titles of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and St Mary Magdalene Postel!

1. MAJOR FEAST:July 16, 1251: Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, And of the Brown Scapular.
   
   

   Nossa Senhora do Carmo

   «The feast of the Scapular, Our Lady gave it, herself, about the year 1251, to St Simon Stock, an Englishman; this devotion has since spread all over the world. Popes John XXII, Gregory XIII, Sixtus V, Gregory XIV, and Clement VIII, have granted indulgences to those who are of this confraternity. Nine centuries before Christ the great prophet Elias went to the heights of Carmel to beg God to send rain after three and a half years of drought. In answer to his prayers Elias saw a small cloud rise out of the sea, a promise of the Immaculate Virgin mother whose Son would save mankind from the scourge of sin. At the time of the Crusades there were hermits living on Mt Carmel in imitation of Elias. In their midst was a chapel dedicated to Our Lady. To the medieval members of the Order, Mary was the Gracious Lady who protected them from danger, who won for them the favor of Christ, her Son. The one gift that unites all Catholics to Our Blessed Lady of Mount Carmel is her scapular. The scapular was given to St Simon Stock, prior general of the Camelite Order, on July 16, 1251. Our Lady appeared to the Saint when there was great danger that her order would perish. The Blessed Mother answered Simon's prayers by giving him the scapular, telling him: "Receive this habit, this shall be a sign of salvation. Whosoever dies clothed in this shall not suffer eternal fire." Seven centuries have shown what a generous gift Our Mother gave us when she made for us the garment of her scapular. German Catholics call the scapular Mary's "garment of grace." Mary's habit is a humble garment, simply two pieces of cloth joined by strings. Yet, we do not measure God's gifts by ordinary standards. The very simplicity of the scapular is a lesson in modesty and purity. The Queen of Heaven has made the scapular the pledge of her protection, especially at the hour of death. Our mother has clothed us, her children, with her garment of choice. Wearing it, we show that we have dedicated ourselves completely to her service, and are reminded to imitate our Mother. The continual wearing of it is a prayer for Mary's protection, a sign of our complete dependence on her. The second promise Mary made is known as the Sabbatine Privilege – Saturday, because Our Lady promised scapular-wearers who perform certain additional acts in her honor prompt delivery from Purgatory, especially on the Saturday after death. We believe that God grants all graces through His Mother. Mary showed herself to Bernadette at Lourdes for the last time on July 16; in her last vision at Fatima, she appeared as Our Lady of Mount Carmel. When we were enrolled in the scapular, the following prayer was said: "May Almighty God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, bless you whom he has been pleased to receive into the Confraternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel. We beg her to crush the head of the ancient serpent in the hour of your death, and in the end obtain for you the palm and crown of your everlasting inheritance. Amen."»


2. July 16, 1680, Our Lady of Ziteil
   
   «Our Lady dressed in white appeared to a girl in Ziteil in Oberhalbstein, in the Swiss canton of the Grisons also called the Graubunden, in Switzerland, asking the inhabitants for conversion, prayer, processions and the construction of a chapel. Eight days later, Our Lady appeared to a young man repeating the same words. On July 16, 1580, an 18-year-old girl from Oberhalbstein who lived in the mountains had gone to collect wood, and a woman dressed in white appeared to her and said, "Go to your village of Oberhalbstein and tell them that they have sinned enough, that it can no longer be tolerated. If they don't change their life, God will punish them harshly. Not only will the fruits of the field dry up, but all the people from the youngest to the oldest will die. I can no longer accomplish much by interceding on your behalf with my son." The girl did not dare to report this. A few days later, Our Lady appeared again to her, and said, "You must not be afraid and tell the people that they should do penance and processions with the cross and then God will forgive sins." Yet, she again did not dare report this. The following night, when next to the mother was sleeping, a voice began to call the girl. As the mother for the second time heard the voice, she asks who is calling. The daughter woke up, and the voice repeated the same thing as the previous two times. The mother then asked her daughter to tell her what she had talked about with her. After everyone listened, they went to report to the bailiff. The mother and daughter were summoned for questioning by the Landvogt. After they were deemed to have told the truth he ordered the processions in which more than 3,000 people participated. The first procession went to the place of the apparition. Eight days later, a 16-year-old boy came from another mountain, a cow herder named Giatgen Dietegen de Marmels Salux, recounting that he had seen a woman on her knees in prayer. Out of fear he went to call two men to come with him and some went to see the woman. The woman called the boy affectionately and told him the same thing, which she had said to the girl, adding that she had not: "Stopped interceding with her son and asks the people for prayer. It is necessary for people to be sincere and to convert and continue to hold processions, otherwise they will not heard. Tell the people to repent and do penance for their evil deeds, or plagues, wars and famines will come."»
3. MAJOR FEAST: July 16, 1212, Feast of the Triumph of the Holy Cross and of Our Lady of Victory, at the Battle of Las Navas of Tolosa near Jaen in Spain «Our Lady of Victory commemorates the victory of Las Navas, where a signal victory was gained over the Moors by the courageous King Alfonso VIII, King of Castile, who carried this miraculous flag upon which there was a picture of Our Lady. The banner had been given to King Alfonso after an apparition in which Our Lady had appeared to a sacristan at the Marian shrine of Rocamadour, ordering him to deliver the banner to the Castilian king. The sacristan had done so joyfully, and now that banner was held aloft near another banner depicting Christ's Holy Cross. There are many military historians who view this battle as one of the 50 most important battles in the history of the world. At the battle of Las Navas the courageous King Alfonso VIII, King of Castile, faced a huge army of one quarter of a million Muslim Infidel warriors who had invaded Spain from Africa. Knights from all parts of Europe gathered in Toledo in response to Pope Innocent's proclamation of a new crusade. Ten thousand knights and 100,000 foot soldiers, they were far more men than the city could ever hope to contain, and so they set up their colorful tents all about the city. It was the most powerful Christian army ever assembled during the whole of the Reconquest up until that time, yet it paled in comparison to the host of Muslim Infidels they sought to engage. On the day of battle, the Infidels had drawn up at Las Navas in a massive square. They faced the Christians behind a front rank wielding long spears to keep the cavalry from breaking their line. The second rank carried both spears and javelins to support the front line while still being capable of attacking with the longer ranged weapon. Next came the slingers to hurl stones at the armored knights, and finally came archers, protected by all the ranks that stood before them. Their leader, Miramamolin, had boasted that "he was strong enough to fight against all who adored the sign of the cross." King Alfonso remained with his reserves, and with him were the knights of the military orders. The valor of these knights was legendary, for they were skilled fighters who engaged the enemy caring little whether they lived or died. Their concern was only for the salvation of their souls, the honor of Christendom, and the greater glory of God. Above their heads floated the royal banner of Castile, and upon it an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary holding her infant Son in her lap. The battle began to the sound of trumpets as the two forces rushed together, and the floor of the valley shuddered at the tremendous impact. The fighting was fierce, and it seemed the Christians would lose the battle when King Alfonso plowed into the fray with his reserves. It was at that moment that a great miracle occurred. The king's banners floated above the tempest that was but a churning sea of bodies, blades and bobbing helmets where King Alfonso had briefly cleared his way with deadly blows. No man bore either banner, for they were both now held in the invisible hands of angels. The banners moved, seemingly of their own accord, passing directly over the heads of the astounded enemy. They finally came to rest motionless in the air above Miramamolin's own tent. The Infidels fired arrows and threw stones at the banners, but try as they might, they could do nothing to harm the banners. Mary, Virgin Most Powerful, had claimed that camp, and there was nothing anyone could do to change it. A wail of despair rose to the skies, while desert warriors scattered and leapt aside. King Alfonso had seemingly come from nowhere to burst upon the very point on which the whole battle turned. The valorous king was prepared to die rather than be conquered, as his smoldering eyes gave evidence. It seemed to the Moors that an avenging angel had sped down to earth from the heavens, and like men gone mad with terror, they cast down their weapons and began to flee in all directions, running wildly into each other. King Alfonso had fearlessly led his Christian army to an incredible, even miraculous, victory. Later that night the Sierras resounded, shaken by that hymn of thanksgiving raised up by the Church of Spain to the God of Battles.»

Collectives of Martyrs and Iso-Martyrs

4. + The Holy Martys Saints Andrew and Benedict, Polish Camaldolese travelling hermits in Czechia and Hungary, they lived lives of incredible austerity, but were comforted by the graces of high contemplation. At length, assailed by mauraders, they won the crown of martyrdom July 16, 1020. The place of their martyrdom is not mentioned.


5. + The Holy Martyrs of Antioch Saints Dionysius or Denis, Eustasius, Maximus, Theodosius and Theodulus, their history is lost.


6. + The Holy Martyrs of Avrille Saint Domninus and Companions, Martyrs. Domninus lived in Gaul in the 200s. He is said to have been born in Nicomedia in Bithynia, but moved to Apriliacum, now Avrillé near Angers in the Vendée region of western France. He was no more than ten years old when persecutions broke out under Emperor Diocletian, but it seems that he represented the Christian prisoners before Judge Rictovarus. Then he himself was arrested, and when he steadfastly confessed his faith, he was subjected to cruel torture. Not only did Rictovarus have him beaten with sticks, but he also got vinegar, salt and mustard rubbedinto his wounds and had red-hot nails driven through his fingers and toes, but the boy went through all this with joy. After this torture, the boy was thrown into prison, where he had a revelation of his guardian angel and converted 44 men to the Christian faith. As a deterrent to the holy boy, thirty of these men were killed. When Domninus was brought before the judge, he promised him that he himself would become a Christian if one or two of those killed came back to life. The boy agreed to the condition and resurrected a certain Maurus and Justinus from the dead. But the Rictovarus did not keep his promise and ordered Domninus beheaded. At the boy's funeral, angelic voices were heard, and his tomb in Avrillé was glorified through miracles. At the time when the Normans invaded this area, his relics were moved to the Nobilianum and from there to Annecy or Le Puy (Anicium seu Podum) in the countryside of Velay (in Velaunis) , now Puy-en-Vélay in the Auvergne, where they are still revered.

But when they had all come, it turned out that he was missing two bishops, and all who were present were in great embarrassment.

Individual Saints

There he made as great progress in all virtues and godliness as he had previously devoted to his vices, so that Bernhard used to say: "The Lord Jesus is no less praised for the conversion of Brother Arnold than for the resurrection of Lazarus from the dead."
