Ever since the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to St. Simon Stock, many have offered prayers to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.
Her apparition has led to many devotions within the Church, such as the popular Brown Scapular.
Here is one prayer to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, asking her to intercede for us and draw us closer to her Son, Jesus.
Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of heaven, blessed mother of the son of God, Immaculate Virgin: assist me in my necessity.
O Star of the Sea, help me and show me, here you are my mother. Oh, holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth: I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity (state the request).
There are none that can withstand your power. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Holy mother, I place this cause in your hands.
Amen.
