| Optional Memorial of Our Lady of Mount Carmel |
The Church celebrates on this day the feast of the Scapular of Mount Carmel. The scapular, which derives its name from the Latin word scapulae, meaning shoulders, is a dress which covers the shoulders. It is mentioned in the rule of Saint Benedict as worn by monks over their other dress when they were at work, and it now forms a regular part of the religious dress in the old Orders. But it is best known among Catholics as the name of two little pieces of cloth worn out of devotion to the Blessed Virgin over the shoulders, under the ordinary garb, and connected by strings. The devotion of the scapular, now almost universal in the Catholic Church, began with the Carmelites. The history of its origin is as follows: During the thirteenth century the Carmelite Order suffered great persecution, and on 16 July 1251, while Saint Simon Stock, then general of the Order, was at prayer, the Blessed Virgin appeared to him, holding in her hand a scapular. Giving it to the saint, she said,
"Receive, my dear son, this scapular of thy Order, as the distinctive sign of my confraternity, and the mark of the privilege which I have obtained for thee and the children of Carmel. It is a sign of salvation, a safeguard in danger, and a special pledge of peace and protection till the end of time. Whosoever dies wearing this shall be preserved from eternal flames."
It is much to be wished that people should everywhere join this confraternity, for the honor of Mary and for the salvation of souls, by a life fitted to that end.
In order to have a share in the merits of the sodality every member must:
• Shun sin, and, according to his state of life, live chastely.
• Say every day, if possible, seven times, Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be to the Father.
• Strive to serve God by venerating Mary, and imitating her virtues.
• These rules, it is true, are not binding under penalty of sin, but the breach of them deprives us of all merit; and is not this something to be taken into account? "He who sowetb sparingly shall also reap sparingly." (II Corinthians 9:6)
The Introit of the Mass is as follows:
"Let us all rejoice in the Lord, and celebrate a festal-day in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, on whose solemn feast the angels rejoice, and give praise to the Son of God. My heart hath uttered a good word; I speak of my workS for the King."
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
O God, Who hast honored the Order of Carmelites with the particular title of the most blessed Virgin Mary, Thy Mother, mercifully grant that, protected by her prayers whose commemoration we this day celebrate with a solemn office, we may deserve to arrive at joy everlasting. Who livest, and reignest, for ever and ever. Amen.
Epistle: Ecclesiasticus 24:28-81
As the vine, I have brought forth a pleasant odor, and my flowers are the fruit of honor and riches. I am the mother of fair love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy hope. In me is all grace of the way and of the truth; in me is all hope of life and of virtue. Come over to me, all ye that desire me, and be filled with my fruits. For my spirit is sweet above honey, and my inheritance above honey and the honeycomb My memory is unto everlasting generations. They that eat me shall yet hunger; and they that drink me, shall yet thirst. He that hearkeneth to me shall not be confounded; and they that work by me shall not sin. They that explain me shall have life everlasting.
The Church applies this epistle to Mary, thereby encouraging us fervently to honor the blessed Mother of God, in whom the Eternal Wisdom dwelt bodIly, and through whom He was given to us, that by her intercession our understanding may be enlightened, our will strengthened, and we be inspired with fresh zeal to practice ourselves, and to prevail on others to practice also, whatever is chaste, becoming, and holy.
Gospel: Luke 11:27, 28
And it came to pass as He spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd lifting up her voice said to Him: Blessed is the womb that bore Thee, and the paps that gave Thee suck. But He said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.

Youngest of four children born to Manuel Ortiz de Landázuri, a career army officer, and Eulogia Fernández-Heredia; one of her brothers is the Servant of God Eduardo Ortiz de Landázuri Fernández de Heredia, her sister-in-law is the Servant of God Laura Busca Otaegui de Ortiz de Landázuri. Because of her father's assignments, the family moved a lot to locations in Spain and Morocco. She began studying chemistry at the Universidad Central de Madrid in June 1933, one of only five women in the class; she was remembered as a friendly but serious student. Lost several family members to the firing squads of the Spanish Civil War. She began teaching in Madrid in 1939. Following a feeling that she was called to a more religious life, Guadalup joined Opus Dei in 1944, brought into the group by Saint Josemaría Escrivá. Developed a devotion to Eucharistic Adoration. She was assigned to Mexico by Father Josemaría on 5 March 1950 to help introduce Opus Dei there. While in Mexico, she returned to school to work toward a doctorate in chemistry. She and a physician friend established a mobile clinic and went door to door in poor neighborhoods to treat those who could not afford medical help. Guadalupe moved to Rome, Italy in 1956 to work in the administration of Opus Dei, but a heart condition forced her to return to Madrid for surgery, and kept her close to there for the rest of her life for ongoing treatment. She was able to continue her education and received her doctorate on 8 July 1965. She worked at the Ramiro de Maeztu Institute and Women's School for Industrial Sciences where she served as an adminstrator for many years. Guadaluped helped plan and establish the Center of Studies and Research of Domestic Sciences. All this was while she continued to work for the spread and strengthening of Opus Dei. Her heart condition continued to deteriorate, however, and though she continued to work as long as she could, it eventually did her in.
