Elegance of heaven,
Sweetness of the earth.
Lovely Throne of Wisdom,
Mary! You gave birth
To God’s Holy One.

Angels throng above you,
Flowers bloom below.
Jesus sits upon your lap,
Graces overflow,
Our healing now begun!

Hand upraised to heaven,
Hand outstretched to bless.
We too blossom ‘round you,
With our pain at rest,
Abandoned to your Son.

Novena Prayer

O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel,
Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven,
Blessed Mother of the Son of God,
Immaculate Virgin,
assist me in this my necessity.
O Star of the Sea, help me and show me
herein that you are my Mother.

O Holy Mary, Mother of God, 
Queen of heaven and earth,
I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart
to succor me in this necessity.  
There are none that can withstand your power!  
O help me and show me herein
that you are my Mother.

Our Lady, Queen and Beauty of Carmel,
pray for me and obtain my requests!
Sweet Mother, I place this cause 
in your hands!
