They are also available at the church doors and on our parish website. We are grateful to the cloistered Carmelite Sisters of the Monastery of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and St Joseph in East New York, Brooklyn for the use of these prayers which are the same ones used in their annual public novena at the Monastery.

Novena in Honor of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Preparatory Prayer O Glorious Queen of Angels! most pure and ever-blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel! powerful advocate of all those who wear thy holy Scapular! Faithful Protectress of all the servants of thy Son, Jesus Christ! I, an unworthy sinner, do this day, in the presence of thy beloved Son, my Savior, choose thee for my Patroness, that, through thy intercession, I may receive from Him whatsoever grace may be necessary and profitable for me now and at the hour of my death. Amen.

A Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Never Found to Fail (the “Flos Carmeli”, attributed to St Simon Stock ca. 1200 AD) 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 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 thee from the bottom of my heart to help me in this necessity; 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. Sweet Mother, I place this cause in your hands. 3 Hail Mary’s

PARISH BULLETIN BOARD PRAYER OF THE WEEK Prayer for safe travel and successful vacation Almighty Father, please hear my prayer for safe travel and calm weather.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

"O God, You are the preserver of men, and the keeper of our lives. We commit ourselves to Your perfect care on the journey that awaits us. We pray for a safe and auspicious journey. Give Your angels charge over us to keep us in all our ways. Let no evil befall us, nor any harm come to our dwelling that we leave behind. Although we are uncertain of what the days may bring, may we be prepared for any event or delay, and greet such with patience and understanding. Bless us O Lord, that we may complete our journey safely and successfully under Your ever watchful care." AMEN. Submitted by Neida C. Martinez Share your favorite prayers: [email protected]
