Litany of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel
Praying the Litany of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel is a very powerful prayer because Our Blessed Mother holds the Brown Scapular in high esteem. When you wear the Brown Scapular, Our Blessed Mother will protect you (as long as you wear it worthily and with respect). During our times of danger, war and famine, we must pray to Our Blessed Mother even more intently to ask for Her protection, guidance and help. We must also ask Her to pray for us to Her Son, Our Lord Jesus, for us because we sin and She is with Our Lord. Take the time now to pray for Her protection and that the world may not have any more war and that it stays in peace.
