Tomorrow, 16 July is the Commemoration of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The piety of the faithful, in several centuries, wanted to honor the illustrious Mother of God with several titles and acts of sincerest homage.

Let us remember that it was Pope John XXII in the XIV century who promoted devotion to Mary under this title: it is precisely the story that we must remember when, each time, the form of prayer and homage becomes clearer and clearer.
