O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel,
Fruitful Vine, Splendour of Heaven,
Blessed Mother of the Son of God,
Immaculate Virgin, assist me this my necessity.
O Star of the Sea, help me and show me
you are my Mother.
O Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Queen of Heaven and Earth,
I humbly ask you from the bottom of my heart,
to assist 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 who come to you
Sweet Mother,
I place this cause in your hands.
