O Mary, Queen and Mother of Carmel, I come today to con-
secrate myself to thee, for my whole life is but a small return
for the many graces and blessings that have come from God
through thy hands.
Since thou regardest with an eye of special kindness those who
wear thy Scapular, I implore thee to strengthen my weakness
with thy power, to enlighten the darkness of my mind with thy
wisdom, to increase in me faith, hope and charity that I may
render my debt of humble homage to thee day by day.
May thy Scapular keep thine eyes of mercy turned towards me
and bring me thy special protection in the daily struggle to be
faithful to thy Divine Son and to thee.
May it separate me from all that is sinful in life and remind me
constantly of my duty to behold thee and clothe myself with
thy virtues.
Henceforth I shall strive to live in the sweet companionship
of thy spirit, to offer all to Jesus through thee and to make my
life the mirror of thy humility, charity, patience, meekness and
prayerfulness.
O dearest Mother, support me by thy never-failing love, that I,
an unworthy sinner, may one day exchange thy Scapular for
the wedding garment of heaven and dwell with thee and the
saints of Carmel in the kingdom of thy Son. Amen.
O Queen, who art the beauty of Carmel, pray for us.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us.
