You give us hope, O Mother of Mercy, that through your Scapular promise we might quickly pass through the fires of purgatory to the Kingdom of your Son. Be our comfort and our hope.

O Most Holy Mother of Mount Carmel, you have given us the assurance of your Motherly love and help. Behold us, your children.

Look down with love, O Gate of Heaven, on all those now in their last agony! Look down graciously, O Virgin, Flower of Carmel, on all those in need of help! Look down mercifully, O Mother of our Saviour, on all those who do not know that they are numbered among your children. Look down tenderly, O Queen of All Saints, on all our departed brothers and sisters!
Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be…
Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us.
