To Our Lady of Carmel
to ask for Her protection
O
Blessed
and
Immaculate
Virgin
Mary,
Queen
and
Glory
of
Carmel!
You
look
with
special
kindness
upon
those
who
wear
Your
holy
habit:
deign
to
cast
a
favourable
glance
upon
me
and
cover
me
with
the
mantle
of
Your
maternal
protection.
Strengthen
my
weakness
with
Your
power;
enlighten
the
darkness
of
my
mind
with
Your
wisdom;
increase
in
me
faith,
hope
and
charity.
Adorn
my
soul
with
graces
and
virtues,
so
that
it
may
always
be
an
object
of
love
for
Your
divine
Son
and
for
You.
Assist
me
in
life,
console
me
at
death
by
Your
most
loving
Presence,
and
present
me
to
the
august
Trinity,
as
Your
child
and
Your
devout
servant,
to
praise
and
bless
You
eternally
in paradise. Amen.

To the Virgin of Carmel
to entrust all our needs to Her
O
Virgin
Mary,
Mother
of
God
and
Mother
of
sinners
and
special
protector
of
those
who
love
You,
You
whom
the
Divine
Majesty
has
magnified
by
choosing
You
as
His
true
Mother,
I
beseech
You
to
obtain
for
me
from
Your
dear
Son
the
forgiveness
of
my
sins,
the
amendment
of
my
life,
the
salvation
of
my
soul,
the
remedy
for
my
needs,
the
consolation
of
my
afflictions
and
the
special
grace
which
I
ask
of
You
today,
if
it
is
fitting
for
the
greater
honor
of
God
and
His
greater
glory,
as
well
as
for
the
good
of
my
soul.
Relying
on
Your
love
and Your powerful intercession, I am assured of being granted.
I
wish
I
had
the
spirit
of
all
the
angels,
saints
and
just
to
be
able
to
praise
You
worthily,
and
uniting
my
voice
to
their
affections,
I
salute
You a thousand times saying:
(Three Hail Marys).
Most
Holy
Virgin
of
Mount
Carmel,
I
wish
that
all,
without
exception,
may
shelter
under
the
protective
shadow
of
Your
holy
Scapular,
and
that
all
may
be
united
to
You,
My
Mother,
by
the
close
and
affectionate ties of this dear insignia.
O
Queen
of
Carmel!
Look
upon
us,
prostrate
in
reverence
of
Your
sacred
image,
and
grant
us
Your
loving
protection.
I
commend
to
You
the
intentions
of
the
Father
of
Christendom
and
of
the
Catholic
Church,
our
Mother,
as
well
as
the
needs
of
my
nation
and
those
of
the whole world, my own and those of my relatives and friends.
Look
with
eyes
of
compassion
on
so
many
poor
sinners,
heretics
and
schismatics,
how
they
offend
Your
Divine
Son
and
so
many
infidels
who
groan
in
the
darkness
of
paganism.
May
they
all
be
converted
and
love
You,
my
Mother,
as
I
desire
to
love
You
now
and
for
eternity. Amen.
Supplication to Our Lady of Carmel
for difficult times
O Virgin of Carmel, O my Mother,
I have a thousand difficulties: help me.
From the enemies of my soul: save me.
In my errors: enlighten me.
In my doubts and sorrows: comfort me.
In my infirmities: strengthen me.
When I am despised: encourage me.
In temptations: defend me.
In difficult times: comfort me.
With Your maternal heart: love me.
With Your immense power: protect me.
And in Your arms when I die: receive me.
Virgin of Mount Carmel, pray for us.
Amen.
