Our Lady of Mount Carmel...


Today is the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. It is sad for me, because on this day some years ago I lost my grandfather's brown scapular, which was almost as old as he. But I guess we all loose things of sentimental and spiritual worth from time to time. Anyway, I post here Tolkien's translation of the Sub Tuum Praesidium into Quenya:

Ortírielyanna rucimme, Aina Eruontari. Alalye nattira arcandemmar sangiessemman, ono alye eterúna me illume ilya raxellor, alcarin Vénde ar manaquenta.

We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God; despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin.

Happy Feast Day readers!
