O most blessed and Immaculate Virgin,
ornament and beauty of Mount Carmel,
you who beholds with special kindness
those who wear your blessed Scapular,
look lovingly upon me, and cover me
with the mantle of your motherly protection.
Fortify my weakness with your power,
enlighten the darkness of my understanding with your wisdom,
increase Faith, Hope and Charity in me,
adorn my soul with the graces and virtues
that will make me pleasing to you and your Divine Son.
Assist me during my life,
and console me at the hour of my death
and present me to the most blessed Trinity
as your devoted servant,
to praise and bless you in heaven forever.
Amen.
