Simon, an Englishman, died at Bordeaux in the mid-thirteenth century. He has been venerated in the Carmelite Order for his personal holiness and his devotion to Our Lady. A liturgical celebration in his honor was observed locally in the fifteenth century, and later extended to the whole Order.
Prayer
Father, You called St. Simon Stock to serve you in the brotherhood of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Through his prayers help us like him to live in your presence and to work for man’s salvation.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.
