Prayer to Our Lady of Mount Carmel
O Mary, Queen and Mother of Carmel,
I consecrate myself to you and thank you for
the gift of your Scapular, pledge of your
special presence and protection.
By my strength in weakness, my light in darkness.
Make my life your own, wholly centered on Jesus
and generously spent for others, specially the poor
and those in any kind of need in our midst.
Teach me to listen to God as He speaks to me
in His Word, in people and in
the events of my daily life.
Make me a bearer of Hope, of Peace and of Joy
to all my fellow pilgrims here on earth.
Then when my journey is ended, lead me home,
clothed in your Scapular, into the kingdom of
your Son where, I with all my brothers and sisters,
shall love and praise Him, in union with
the Father and the Holy Spirit, for all eternity. Amen.
