Mary - Our Lady of Mt Carmel The deep devotion of Pope John Paul II to Our Lady under her various titles was well documented during his 26 year pontificate. He began his pontificate by saying to the crowd gathered in St. Peter’s for his first Urbi et Orbi blessing that he accepted the election in the spirit of obedience to Our Lord and with total trust in his Mother, the Most Holy Madonna. He attributed his survival of the attempted assassination on May 13, 1981 to Our Lady of Fatima whose feast was celebrated the day of the attempt. His devotion to Mary as Our Lady of Mount Carmel was also manifest during his years as pope. In a general audience on July 13, 1988 the Pope challenged the young people to examine their own devotion to Mary and then suggested they think about devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel. (CITOC)
