Our Lady of Mount Carmel

Chaplet of the Holy Face Crusade

July 16, 2025 to January 16, 2026

Elijah told the nation of Israel there would be a drought that lasted 3-1/2 years. On July 16, 2025 (The Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel), the Traditional Latin Mass has suffered an Ecclesial Winter for 3 years.

Pray that this drought will be lifted 3-1/2 years from its start on January 16, 2026 (The Feast of Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres).

Mount Carmel has been a place of prayer and closeness to God since the time of the prophet Elijah in the 10th century before Christ. It was also the site where Elijah’s prayer brought an end to the 3-1/2 year drought and famine that had befallen Israel. Because of this, the Carmelites consider Elijah one of their spiritual fathers. The spiritual tradition continued with Christian hermits living on the mountain in persistent prayer. In the 12th century, the Order of the Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel was officially founded.

The Feast of Mount Carmel is celebrated on July 16 because that is the day (July 16, 1251) that the Blessed Mother gave the brown scapular to St. Simon Stock, a Carmelite Prior.

Our Lady of Good Success appeared to Venerable Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres, a Conceptionist nun in Quito, Ecuador in the 17th Century. Our Lady described an enormous crisis in the Church that would take place in the 20th century. She asked Mother Mariana to become an expiatory victim for that crisis. Impurity, heresy and blasphemy would inundate the Church. The remedy for that situation would be linked to the devotion of Our Lady of Good Success. She promised to intervene and defeat the evil when the abuse of power by the religious authorities reached its apex.

The Feast of Servant of God Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres is celebrated on January 16 (date of death January 16, 1635).

Please pledge to pray the Chaplet of the Holy Face anytime from now until January 15th. Many thanks for your pledges. May your prayers be like golden arrows that invoke God to join us in this mystical battle. Shoot them straight.


Chaplet of the Holy Face

The purpose of the Crown or Chaplet of the Holy Face is to honor the Five Senses of our Lord Jesus Christ and to ask of God the triumph of his Holy Church, as well as to thwart evil and the snares of the devil. It would be well to recite it daily in order to obtain from God, by the Face of His well-beloved Son, the triumph of our Holy Mother, the Catholic Church.
