Ave Maria Meditations

O Most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel,  fruitful vine, splendor of heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God,  Immaculate Virgin, assist me in this my necessity…

O, Star of the Sea,  help me and show me herein you are my mother.

O holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of heaven and earth,  I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart,  to aid me in my need;  there are none that can withstand your power.  O show me herein you are my Mother.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3 times); and pray for those who do not have recourse to thee, especially the enemies of the Holy Church.   Sweet Mother, I place this cause in your hands. (state your petition).  Amen.

From the first moments of my life,

You took me in your arms.

Ever since that day, dear Mother,

You’ve protected me here below.

Ave Maria Meditations

Prayer to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel:  O Mary, Queen and Mother of Carmel, I come today to consecrate myself to you, for my whole life is but a small return for the many graces and blessings that have come from God to me through your hands. Since you look with special kindness on those who wear your Scapular, I implore you to strengthen my weakness with your power, to enlighten the darkness of my mind with your wisdom, and to increase in me Faith, Hope and Charity that I may repay each day my debt of humble homage to you.

May your Scapular bring me your special protection in my daily struggle to be faithful to your Divine Son and to you. May it separate me from all that is sinful in life and remind me constantly of my duty to imitate your virtues. From now on, I shall strive to live in God’s Presence, and offer all to Jesus through you. Dearest Mother, support me by your never-failing love and lead me to paradise through the merits of Christ and your own intercession. Amen.

A bit of history on Our Lady of Mt. Carmel: (more…)

Homily #090716 ( 06min) Play – St. Simon Stock had an apparition from Our Lady of Mt Carmel where the Scapular of Our Lady of Mt Carmel was given to the Church, but it is not a pass to lazy piety.
