Our Lady of Mount Carmel Novena: Day Seven

When I think of the title “Mary, Help of Christians,” I think of Saint John Bosco. He loved her especially under that title. Saint John Bosco, father of hundreds of orphaned children, was lied about, threatened and was nearly killed on several occasions. But he was close to Jesus, his guardian angel and to Mary. For some reason, after his death, his body had to be exhumed. Everything had decayed except one thing. His Brown Scapular was completely intact. Praying for our protection from every danger and trial. Whether or not you wear the Scapular, may the Lord protect us under Mary’s mantle. Seventh Day of the Novena of Our Lady Mount Carmel : O Mary, Help of Christians, you assured us that wearing your Scapular worthily would keep us safe from harm. Protect us in both body and soul with your continual aid. May all that we do be pleasing to your Son and to you. (pause and mention petitions) Say: Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us.
