Tuesday, July 15 - The Blessed Virgin Mary Pillar of Faith 
Rev. John L. Suenram, OCD, Pastor of the National Shrine of the Little Flower

This evening’s Holy Mass was again celebrated by Father  John L. Suenram, OCD.  Despite difficulties with his microphone halfway through the sermon, a fast thinking Father quickly picked up another microphone and kept on with his homily!

The choir tonight was composed of fellow Carmelites.  The Carmelite Sisters of the Most Divine Heart of Jesus.  Their mission is to serve the elderly at their St. Agnes Home for the elderly here in St. Louis.  How wonderful it is to have them with us!  Thank you Sisters!

Also, you may pray along with us the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary which were recited in chapel before mass.

Novena Prayer To our Lady of Mount Carmel

O most beautiful flower
of Mount Carmel,
Fruitful vine,
Splendor of Heaven
Blessed Mother of the Son of God,
Immaculate Virgin,
assist me in this my necessity.
O, Star of the Sea, help me
and show me herein
you are my mother.
O Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Queen of Heaven and earth,
I humbly beseech you
from the bottom of my heart
to succor me in this necessity.
There are none that can withstand you power,
O, show me herein you are my mother.

O, Mary, conceived without sin,
pray for us who have recourse to Thee.
Sweet Mother, I place this cause
in your hands.

Amen
