NOVENA TO ALL CARMELITE SAINTS
(November 5-13)
Nov 14: Feast of All Carmelite Saints
HYMN
- O Jesus, source of endless life
Be near to help us and defend;
O Mary, Mother of Our Lord,
Lead us to heaven in the end. - You, angel hosts, suffused with life,
You, Patriarchs, who heard God’s call,
You, Prophets, knowing mysteries,
Obtain forgiveness for us all. - O Saints of Carmel, throned above
In Mary’s court, obtain this grace,
That where you are in glory now,
We, too, may find a resting place. - May hosts of martyrs intercede,
For us on earth, confessors pray,
And choirs of holy virgins plead,
That God may wash our sins away. - O blessed saints of solitude,
And all the heavenly company,
Obtain for us that life in God
Which lasts for all eternity. - Praise to the Father evermore
And to the Spirit he bestows,
To Jesus whom the Virgin bore
From whom all Carmel’s beauty flows.
Prayer to all the Saints of the Carmelite Order
O glorious saints and blessed hosts of heaven, who have had the privilege to belong here below to the brotherly Order of Mount Carmel, intercede for us with Jesus and with Mary, so that the number of those who wear the holy Scapular of Mount Carmel may increase every day, so that they all may wear it in worthy and holy fashion, so that the kingdom of Christ may grow more and more, so that the ever beneficial devotion of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel may increase, so that the number of those who plunge into hell may decrease, so that every Saturday the doors of purgatory may open to the faithful of the Scapular, and thus increase the ranks of thy fortunate companions and brothers in heaven. Amen.
Our Father…, Hail Mary…, Glory be…
Let us Pray
Lord, may the patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our Mother, and the prayers of all the Saints of Carmel help us to walk steadfastly in their footsteps, and by our prayers and good works ever further the cause of your Church. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us.
All Saints of Carmel, pray for us.
