Day 7 — Protective shield

Meditation

In the holy Scapular, the Virgin gave to those who devoutly wear it a most firm shield to defend themselves from all the dangers of this world and the snares of the demon, proving this truth with so many singular miracles.

Prayer of the Day

O Virgin of Carmel! I beg you, Lady, to be my powerful defense in this mortal life, so that in all tribulations and dangers I may find safety, and in temptations I may come out victorious, always obtaining your special assistance. Amen.

*(Pray the Salve Regina).*Final Prayer (for all days)

Most Holy Virgin of Carmel, I desire that all may take shelter under the protecting shadow of your holy Scapular. O beauty of Carmel! Look upon us kneeling before your sacred image and grant us your loving protection. I commend to you the needs of the Pope, the Church, my nation, and the whole world. Look with compassion upon sinners, heretics, and unbelievers. May all be converted and love you, my Mother, as I wish to love you now and for all eternity. Amen.
