Bishop @silviojbaez : "#Jesus opens our eyes to reality: we're called to 'beatitude', to be #blessed; we will be from the moment we place ourselves on God's side: using the goods of this world without turning them into idols, but rather sharing them with those in need."
THREAD🧵
All these photos show the partnership between🍚Feed My Starving Children @fmsc_org and the @Fabretto Foundation in #Nicaragua, which was one of the NGOs recently shut down by the dictatorship. It's one example of what Bishop @silviojbaez says in his homily today🔺

🤔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…)

Bishop @silviojbaez preaching (Mark 6:34)
"He saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things."

"In many of our countries today, people live like "sheep without a shepherd", not only because of the scandalous lack of trustworthy leadership but also because those who rise to power have no compassion for the people."

"When there is compassion in politics, the dignity of each person is respected, leaders seek the welfare of all, they promote freedom, and foster social plurality as an asset...."

The sacred scriptures speak of the beauty of Mount Carmel where the prophet Elijah defended the faith of Israel in the living God.

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.
