"How badly we need politicians who are genuinely disturbed by the state of society, the people, the lives of the poor! (cf. Evangelii Gaudium 205) We are so much in need of political leaders who have compassion for the people, as Jesus had!"

🤔DID YOU KNOW? In our #quoteoftheday for #July18, we mentioned Joseph Lémann. He was a devout Jew from Lyon, France who joined the Catholic Church along w/ his twin bro at age 18 after mtg Hermann Cohen. In 1892 they helped found the Carmel of Haifa, seen here.

The original monastery was built on the shores of Haifa Bay. It was scenic but unsafe; the nuns fled at the Turkish invasion, so the Turks used it as a hospital. After the nuns returned, the founders of LaFarge Cement built a new monastery (1937), an art deco jewel.
2/5
Of course, politics & war played a part: the British Mandate govt wanted to expropriate the nuns' bayshore property to build a port at Haifa. The nuns sold a parcel of land to the British, who built a hospital & the nuns bought land next to the friars on top of the mountain.

Quote of the day, 19 July: Silvio José Báez, O.C.D. | "We rest when we seek a "solitary place" (Mk. 6:31) to be silent and enter into ourselves..." carmelitequotes.blog/2021/07/18/19j…
“And he said to them, 'Come away to some lonely place all by yourselves and rest for a while'; for there were so many coming and going that there was no time for them even to eat.
So they went off in the boat to a lonely place where they could be by themselves.” – Mark 6:31-32 (bibliacatolica.com.br/en/new-jerusal…)

THREAD 1/11
There, at the beginning of the thirteenth century, under the title of “Saint Mary of Mount Carmel,” the Order of Carmelites had its formal beginning.

From the fourteenth century this title, recalling the countless blessings of its patroness, began to be celebrated solemnly, first in England and then gradually throughout the whole Order.
