All Saints Day II

November 14 is feast of All the Saints of the Carmelite Order. The following little prayer “To All the Saints of the Carmelite Order” is taken from Carmelite Devotions published by the Carmelite nuns of Milwaukee in 1956.

O glorious saints and blessed hosts of heaven, who have had the privilege to belong here below to the brotherly Order of Mount Carmel, intercede for us with Jesus and with Mary, so that the number of those who wear the holy scapular of Mount Carmel may increase every day, so that they all may wear it in worthy and holy fashion, so that the Kingdom of Christ may grow more and more, so that the ever beneficial devotion of the Blessed Virgin of Mount Carmel may increase, so that the number of those who plunge into hell may decrease, so that every Saturday the doors of purgatory may open to the faithful of the scapular, and thus increase the ranks of Thy fortunate companions and brothers in heaven. Amen.
