Novena to the Virgin of Carmen - Large Print

We present this Novena to the Virgin of Carmen, to be prayed as a family, in a group, or individually.

Each day features a motivation for reading the Gospel, a commentary, the prayer of the faithful, a historical fact, and a suggestion for praying the Rosary. We've also included the Solemnity of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, celebrated every July 16th, new prayers for the beginning and end of the prayer, and a selection of traditional hymns, prayers, and litanies in honor of Mary.

Our intention is to thank Mary of Carmen for all we have received from her and to keep the flame of our Carmelite faith alive. But the fundamental purpose is for this devotion to be passed on to future generations, so that it may endure in time and space, so that our homeland may remain eternally under the protection of Our Lady of Carmen, Mother, Queen, and Patron of Chile.
