Immaculate Virgin and Queen of Carmel, thou art the hope of the sufferer and the consolation of the afflicted.

I thank thee my Lady and Mother, for the gift of thy holy Scapular. Thou knowest well my weakness and my malice, but I trust in thee and under thy protection I take refuge. O holy Mother of Mt. Carmel, despise not my petitions in my necessities, but deliver me from all danger. Amen. Hail Mary (three times).
