Our Lady of Mount Carmel

In the assembly of the Most High she will open her mouth, and in the presence of his host she will glory. "I came forth from the mouth of the Most High, and covered the earth like a mist. I dwelt in high places, and my throne was in a pillar of cloud. Alone I have made the circuit of the vault of heaven and have walked in the depths of the abyss. In the waves of the sea, in the whole earth, and in every people and nation I have gotten a possession.  Among all these I sought a resting place; I sought in whose territory I might lodge.

Then the Creator of all things gave me a commandment and the one who created me assigned a place for my tent. And he said: 'Make your dwelling in Jacob, and in Israel receive your inheritance.' From eternity, in the beginning he created me, and for eternity, I shall not cease to exist. In the holy tabernacle I ministered before him, and so I was established in Sion. In the beloved city likewise he gave me a resting place, and in Jerusalem was my dominion. So I took root in an honoured people, in the portion of the Lord, who is their inheritance.

Like a terebinth I spread out my branches, and my branches are glorious and graceful. Like a vine I caused loveliness to bud and my blossoms became glorious and abundant fruit.

Come to me, you who desire me, and eat your fill of my produce. For the remembrance of me is sweeter than honey, and my inheritance sweeter than the honeycomb. Those who eat me will hunger for more and those who drink me will thirst for more. Whoever obeys me will not be put to shame, and those who work with my help will not sin." (Sirach 24:2-12, 16-22)

PRAYER

Father, may the prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother and Queen of Carmel, protect us, and bring us to your holy Mountain, Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
