Later the Carmelite scapular was modified to the small form for use by the laity that they may share in the great graces associated with it once they are enrolled in it. These graces, called the Sabbatine privilege, meant that Mary promised to intercede and pray for those in Purgatory who, while on earth, wore the scapular worthily, lived chastely according to their state, recited the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary or Rosary daily, and departed earthly life in charity.
Below is a novena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel; this novena would be prayed from July 7-15 to finish the day before this feast of Our Lady.
Prayer in Special Need To Our Lady of Mount Carmel
O Most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendour 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 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 succour me in this necessity; there are none that can withstand your power. O, show me herein you are my Mother;
O Mary, conceived without sin, Pray for us you have recourse to thee. (Say three times.)
Sweet Mother, I place this cause in your hands. (Say three times.) Amen.

***Just a note: I wanted to let everyone know that I appreciate you stopping by my blog. I have so many other post ideas...cooking, liturgical year, homeschooling, crafts, and more. It seems like I just never have time to get these posts done. Currently I am preparing for next school year, and I am 14 weeks pregnant with our seventh child. With difficulties in past pregnancies, I would appreciate any prayers you could offer for our family. I will try to keep up with posts --and do better :), but I am trying to pace myself, so this pregnancy goes well. God bless!
