Flos Carmeli Prayer (With Music)

On this Feast , we lift our hearts with the ‘Flos Carmeli,’ invoking Our Lady’s guidance and protection.***Flower of Carmel,Tall vine, blossom-laden;Splendor of heaven,Childbearing yet maiden,None equals thee.Mother so tender,Who no man didst know,On Carmel’s childrenThy favors bestow,Star of the Sea.Strong stem of Jesse,Who bore one bright flower,Be ever near usAnd guard us each hour,Who serve thee here.Purest of lilies,That flowers among thorns,Bring help to the true heartsThat in weakness turnAnd trust in thee.Strongest of armor,We trust in thy might:Under thy mantle,Hard-pressed in the fight,We call to thee.Our way uncertain,Surrounded by foes,Unfailing counselYou offer to thoseWho turn to thee.O gentle Mother,Who in Carmel reigns,Share with your servantsThat gladness you gainedAnd now enjoy.Hail, Gate of Heaven,With glory now crowned,Bring us to safety,Where thy Son is found,True joy to see. Amen.Holy Mary, Mother of Christ,Hear the cry of your servants,And bring down heavenly aidIn answer to our prayer.Let us pray.By a special privilege, Lord,You have adorned the Carmelite OrderWith the name of Your Mother,The most glorious Virgin Mary.Grant, as we faithfully remember this honor,That in these days we may receive her protection,And in the days to come,We may be brought to everlasting happiness.This we ask of You,Who are living and reigning forever. Amen.***This podcast is created and published by A Little Pilgrim. Music by ⁠Denis Pavlov⁠ from ⁠Pixabay
