Did you know...

Prayer—An act of the virtue of religion which consists in asking proper gifts or graces from God. In a more general sense it is the application of the mind to Divine things, not merely to acquire a knowledge of them but to make use of such knowledge as a means of union with God. This may be done by acts of praise and thanksgiving, but petition is the principal act of prayer.

Flos Carmeli

O beautiful Flower of Carmel
Most fruitful vine,
Splendor of Heaven,
Holy and Singular,
Who brought forth
the Son of God,
still ever remaining
a pure Virgin,
Assist us in our necessities.
O Star of the Sea,
Help and protect us.
Show us that you
are our Mother.

Amen.

Latin:

Flos Carmeli, Vitis florigera, Splendor coeli,
Virgo puerpera. Singularis.
Mater mitis, sed virinescia,
Carmelitis esto propitia
Stella Maris. (Alleluia.)
