Flos Carmeli


Happy Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel!

Today for my low mass, the old missal I use from the 1920's has an entire mass for Our Lady of Mount Carmel with a gloria and a credo! Of course I used it rather than the simple commemoration of the '62 missal. Surely Pope Francis would approve, and Pope Emeritus Benedict, and Pope Saint John Paul II, and all of the angels and the saints, and Christ Our Blessed Lord Himself!

Above is a chant proper to the feast, attributed to Saint Simon Stock himself!
