From the 15th to the 17th of September, just gone by, an International Marian Congress, organised by the Carmelites (O.Carm. and OCD) took place at the Domus Carmeli in Fatima, to mark the first centenary of the Fatima apparitions. The title of the congress was “Maria, Mae do Carmelo” (Mary, the Mother of Carmel). The participants included the two general leaders, Fernando Millán Romeral, O.Carm. and Saverio Cannistrà, OCD, along with several Carmelites, (lay and religious) from Spain and Portugal and representatives of other countries also. In the course of the event the speakers dwelt, from various points of view, upon the link that exists between the Fatima phenomenon and devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The Marian experience of leading figures in the history of the Carmelite Order and some aspects of the marian dimension of the Carmelite charism were also studied. The closing Eucharist was led by Bishop Vitalino Dantas, O.Carm., retired bishop of Beja, in the Chapel of San José, the Carmelite monastery in which Sr. Lucia, one of the visionaries, lived We must thank and congratulate Fr. Ricardo Reinho, O.Carm. the Commissary General of Portugal, and Pedro Lourenço Ferreira, OCD., the Provincial of the Discalced Carmelites in Portugal, for this wonderful joint initiative.

Each booklet has seven sections and this latest one contains the following: 1. The Word that visits me in the silence of my solitude. 2. The Word that cuts to the heart. 3. The Word that is incarnated in daily life. 4.The Word that creates and sets us free. 5. The Word that compels me to proclaim. 6 The Word that is my refuge, my spiritual armour. 7.

The event was organised by Raúl Maraví, O.Carm., Councilor General, with the help of a team of friars from the Rio de Janeiro province. The participants included people from Argentina, Perú, Bolivia, the U.S.A. and Brazil, all of whom enjoyed the fraternal atmosphere and the inputs by Eduardo Agosta, O.Carm. (Argentina), Bruno Secondin, O.Carm. (Italy) and Benny Phang, O.Carm. (Councilor General for Formation). The course had as its title, "I brought you into the land of Carmel" concentrating on the themes of ecology, challenges to ministry, Carmelite spirituality and morality. As a part of the programme the group made a pilgrimage to the national shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida on the occasion of the third centenary of the finding of the image of Our Lady.
We are grateful to the Provincie of Rio de Janeiro for their great generosity and very warm hospitality throughout this formation course.
