July 16 is the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel!
For those who would like to prepare for this Feast, the following prayer can be said as a Novena from today (July 7) to July 15, the day before the Feast.
O Almighty and Eternal God, Who didst adorn the holy order of Mount Carmel with the Glorious title of Thy Immaculate and ever Blessed Mother, grant propitiously that those who celebrate her Solemn Commemoration may, by the assistance of Thy grace, turn their affections from all irregular adherence to this world, and place them entirely on the enjoyment of Thee. Who livest and reignest, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
