Novena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel:

Novena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel 

Dear

 Friends,In 1884, St. Therese of the Infant Jesus told her cousin:

"I had asked Our Lady of Mt. Carmel for the grace you obtained at Lourdes!"

Today, you too can receive special graces from Our Lady of Mount Carmel, through the intercession of Saint Therese by praying this beautiful novena from July 8th to July 16th.

Our Lady will help you. Yes, even in the most desperate cases.

Please pray to Her with childlike confidence. And then, like St. Therese, I hope to be able to say:

"I am lost in wonder at the way the Blessed Virgin has pleased to grant all your desires."

Novena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

Sincerely in Jesus and Mary,

P.S. Here's an amazing article on the origins of devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, which most Catholics know very little about. In it you will see how this devotion goes back to the 8th century BC when Saint Elias ascended the holy mountain of Carmel and consecrated himself to God's Mother-to-come, Mary, Queen of Mount Carmel.
