## The Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel

Good morning. This is Bill Young and welcome to the Prayer N Lunch podcast. Today is July 16th, the feast day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. We are continuing and almost completing our novena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel; today is day number eight.

## Prayer for the Scapular Promise

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 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. Grant that our hope may not be in vain, but that, ever faithful to your Son and to you, we may speedily enjoy after death the blessed company of Jesus and the saints.

## Personal Petitions and Closing Prayers

We now pause for personal petitions. Mine is for my son in Orlando; may God protect him, and may he be like the prodigal son and come back to our Lord. Amen. We conclude with the Our Father, the Hail Mary, and the Glory Be. Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us. Amen.

*Through the intercession of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the promise of the scapular, we find hope for our journey toward the Kingdom of God.*
