Carmelite Saint of the Day

TODAY'S SAINT: SAINT ELIJAH



A Reading from the First Book of Kings:

There he came to a cave, where he took shelter. Then the Lord said: "Go outside and stand on the mountain before the Lord; the Lord will be passing by." A strong and heavy wind was rending the mountains and crushing rocks before the Lord - but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake - but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake there was fire - but the Lord was not in the fire. After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound. When he heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak and went and stood at the entrance of the cave. A voice said to him, "Elijah, why are you here?" He replied: "I have been most zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts."
