Message for the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel 2022

Fr. Míċeál O’Neill, Prior GeneralLetter from Míċeál O’Neill, O.Carm, Prior General of the Carmelite Order. Brothers and sisters in the Carmelite Family, as the solemnity of Our Lady of Mount Carmel approaches, we find ourselves in festive mood. We want to celebrate and give thanks to God for everything that Our Lady of Mount Carmel represents for us. In a particular way, we want to give thanks to God and to Our Lady because the fear we had of Covid 19 this time last year has lessened and life for many is returning to some kind of normality. At the same time we continue to pray for Our Lady’s protection for us and for the world.
