Novena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel
Our Lady of Mount Carmel —Patroness of the People of the Sea, the Carmelites, and the Scapular— is honored on July 16. This novena, prayed from July 7 to 15, recalls Mary's maternal protection, her promise of the Scapular, and her constant intercession. With her, we ask to attain the grace to live in friendship with God and to persevere until reaching the mountain of eternity.
