Prayers to Our Lady of Mount Carmel for the Souls in Purgatory

About this book

During the Middle Ages, Our Lady of Mount Carmel was recognized as the "Privileged Patroness of Purgatory," highlighting the promise that, according to tradition, she made to Saint Simon Stock in 1251: "Whoever dies clothed in this shall not suffer eternal fire." This devotion, reinforced by the Sabbatine Bull and Carmelite teachings, holds that Mary intercedes in a special way for those who wear the scapular, live in grace, and pray dedicated prayers, liberating the souls in purgatory on the Saturday following their death. "Prayers to Our Lady of Mount Carmel for the Souls in Purgatory" gathers this living spiritual heritage and makes it accessible to those who wish to pray for their departed loved ones. The book offers a wide selection of prayers inspired by Carmelite tradition, a complete novena, spaces to write down personal intentions, and meditations accompanied by biblical quotes and beautiful Marian images, creating a pathway of hope to seek Mary's heavenly help. Addressed both to devotees and to those seeking comfort in mourning, this book accompanies the reader in a practice of intercession full of faith and trust. Each page invites us to discover Our Lady of Mount Carmel not only as protector in trials, but as a bridge of mercy and light for the souls in purgatory and for all who long to live under her maternal mantle.
