O Star of the sea, help me and show me herein that 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 show me herein that you are my mother.
Our Lady Queen and Beauty of Carmel, pray for me and obtain my requests.
Sweet Mother, I place this cause in your hands. Amen.
