Increase in me those virtues in which you excelled - faith, hope and love; adorn my soul with such graces and virtues that it may ever be pleasing to your divine Son.
Assist me in all the activities of life, and, by your presence console me at the time of my death.
In that hour present me to the Blessed Trinity as your child redeemed by the blood of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

The Story of Our Lady of Mount Carmel
The story of Our Lady of Mount Carmel begins on a mountain where Israel learned again that the Lord is God. On Carmel, the prophet Elijah confronted the prophets of Baal, and after the long drought his servant saw a little cloud rising from the sea. Carmelite tradition has loved that small cloud as a figure of Mary: humble in appearance, carrying mercy behind it, and bringing rain to a dry land.
