Act of Consecration to Our Lady of Mount Carmel

Picture
 O Mary, Queen and Mother of Carmel, I come today to consecrate
myself to  Thee, for my whole life is but a small return for the many graces and  blessings  that have from God to me through Thy hands. 

Since Thou regardest  with an eye of special kindness those who wear Thy Scapular I implore Thee to  strengthen my  weakness with Thy power, to enlighten the darkness of my mind  with Thy wisdom,  to increase in me faith, hope and charity that I may render,  day by day, my debt  of humble homage to Thee.

May Thy Scapular keep  Thine eyes of mercy  turned towards me and bring me Thy special protection in  the daily struggle to  be faithful to Thy Divine Son and to Thee. 

May it  separate me from all that is  sinful in life and remind me constantly of my duty  to behold Thee and clothe  myself with Thy virtues.  From henceforth I shall  strive to live in the sweet  companionship of Thy spirit, to offer all to Jesus  through Thee and make my life  the mirror of Thy humility, charity, patience,  meekness and  prayerfulness.

 
O dearest Mother, support me, by Thy  never-failing love  that I, and unworthy sinner, may come one day to exchange  Thy Scapular for the  wedding Garment of of heaven and dwell with Thee and the saints of Carmel in the kingdom of Thy Son. Amen.

Memorare  to Saint  Joseph

Picture
Remember O most amiable, O most  benevolent, O most kind, and O most merciful Father,  St. Joseph,
that the great  St. Teresa assures us, that she never had  recourse to your protection without  obtaining relief. 

Animated with this same  confidence, O dear St. Joseph, I come  to you and groaning under the heavy burden  of my many sins, I prostrate myself  at your feet.

O most compassionate Father, do not, I beseech you, reject my  poor and miserable prayers but graciously hear  and obtain my petitions. Amen. 

Our holy Father, St. Joseph, pray for us
.
