Catholic Prayer: Novena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel

Description:

This novena is in a shorter form. If time permits, add three Hail Marys or say five times the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory be to the Father, or to use some of the many well-loved novena prayers from other sources. For the novenas that precede movable feasts, we begin nine days before the feast occurs. This novena begins on July 7 and ends on July 16.

Prayer:

O Blessed Lady of Mount Carmel, grant that we may share in all the prayers and penances of your holy cloistered daughters of the Carmelite Order. Bless their labors and pray that they may be a source of spiritual strength to all of us who struggle in the world outside their peaceful walls.

O Mary, who entered the world free from stain, obtain for me from God that I may pass out of it free from sin.
