Dulia is the term Catholics use to describe the honor given to the saints. However today, we step it up a notch. Today, it’s HYPERDULIA.
Hyperdulia is the special veneration given to Mary in particular as the Queen of All Saints. Our Lady of Mount Carmel is one of the many Marian feast days in the calendar year.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel is one of Mary’s beloved titles. She is honored by it as the protector and spiritual mother of the Carmelite Order. In the 13th century, she appeared to Saint Simon Stock and gave him the Brown Scapular, a devotion that showed the symbol of Mary’s promise of grace and protection for those who live faithfully.
Devotion to Mary is a beautiful trust that she will intercede for us and lead us ever closer to her son. May her feast day remind us that even in the silence, Mary is near—watching, praying, and whispering encouragement to every heart that longs for light.
Through the intercession of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, we pray for all who are walking through seasons of doubt, weariness, or decision. May Mary’s gentle presence wrap them in peace, her wisdom guide their steps, and her love remind them they are never alone. As she once comforted Saint Simon Stock, may she comfort each heart in need—whispering hope, courage, and light into their silence.
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor 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 succor me in this necessity.
There are none that can withstand your power.
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
Sweet Mother, I place this cause in your hands. Amen.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us.
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Tomorrow’s saint of the day is Saint Marcellina.
