Our Lady of Mount Carmel

Feast day: July 16

Patron saint of Chile

Our Lady of Mount Carmel is the title given to the Blessed Virgin Mary in her role as patroness of the Carmelite Order. The first Carmelites were Christian hermits living on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land during the late 12th and early to mid 13th centuries. They built a chapel in the midst of their hermitages which they dedicated to the Blessed Virgin and celebrated a special Mass and Office in her honor. In 1726 it became a celebration of the universal Church under the title of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

"The humble soul is blessed. The Lord loves her. The Mother of God is higher than all in humility, and therefore all races bless her on earth, while the heavenly powers serve her. And the Lord has given us this blessed Mother of His as a defender and helper."

~St. Silouan the Athonite

Rosa Mystica (The Mystical Rose)

Feast Day: July 13

The Blessed Virgin Mary under the title Mystical Rose has been venerated in the life of the Church since ancient times.⁠  In 1947 Our Lady appeared to Pierina Gilli, a humble Italian nurse, with three roses upon her breast, asking for “prayer, penance, and reparation” as a way of practicing devotion to her under the title Mystical Rose or Rosa Mystica. The white rose symbolizes prayer and devotion, the red rose symbolizes sacrifice, and the golden rose symbolizes penance.
