Prayer to Our Lady, Health of the Sick
Virgin, most holy, Mother of the Word Incarnate, Treasurer of graces, and Refuge of sinners, I fly top your motherly affection with lively faith, and I beg of you the grace ever to do the will of God.
Into your most holy hands I commit the keeping of my heart, asking you for health of soul and body, in the certain hope that you, my most loving Mother, will hear my prayer.
Into the bosom of your tender mercy, this day, every day of my life, and at the hour of my death, I commend my soul and body.
To you I entrust all my hopes and consolations, all my trials and miseries, my life and the end of my life, that all my actions may be ordered and disposed according to your will and that of your Divine Son. Amen.

Modlitwa do Maryi, Uzdrowienia Chorych
Najświętsza Dziewico, Matko Wcielonego Słowa, Skarbniczko Łask oraz Ucieczko Grzeszników, uciekam się do Ciebie z żywą wiarą, licząc na matczyną troskę i błagając o łaskę nieustannego czynienia Woli Bożej.
W Twoje przenajświętsze dłonie oddaję moje serce, prosząc o zdrowie duszy i ciała, wierząc – aż do granic pewności – iż wysłuchasz mojej modlitwy.
Na Twej piersi, w której skrywasz strumień łagodności i współczucia, od dziś, już na zawsze, także w godzinie mej śmierci, pragnę złożyć me ciało i duszę.
Tobie powierzam wszelkie me nadzieje, pocieszenia, próby i cierpienia, następujące u zarania i na końcu życia, aby było ono poddane i rozporządzane według pragnień Twoich i Bożego Syna. Amen.

Complete Sacrifice - Complete Assurance
While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.”He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?”Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
Matthew 12:46-50
The above-mentioned fragment is not, as some may think, the best proof that Mary is no-one special either to Jesus or to us. On the contrary, this excerpt fits perfectly to the one wherein Jesus says “Behold, your mother(...) behold, your son.”
God cannot contradict himself, and thus the two pieces of the Holy Gospel, being complementary to each other, only affirm to the fact that Mary is not for Jesus who gave us everything he had – His Mother included.
But why he has done this? First of all, as I think, to make His sacrifice complete; secondly, to provide the promised Holy Ghost, our Paraclete and Inspirer with the concrete voice.
Today each and every rosary enthusiast may listen to her words - “do whatever He tells you, just do His Will” - knowing that the ones are inspired by the Holy Spirit that dwells in her.

True Love, Love Incarnate
When St. Paul
declares that love is superior to any other virtue, he points to
Jesus and yes, believe me, affirms that the Blessed Virgin Mary's
role in the church is of a great importance.
Some of our agnostic brothers & sisters would probably say that there is nothing we can learn of Jesus, true God, from Mary, the humblest human being.
They are misled, though, for without Mary man would not realize that true love shall not only be pondered upon and declared but, first and foremost, incarnated.

He Deserves All...
The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who has been taken to heaven with body and soul, is, undoubtedly, one of the greatest events in the history of the world.
We, sinful human beings, may not be granted with such a great favor, still Mary's example shows us all that both human body and soul may, and shall, be subjected to God's grace.
Immaculata, being the best way to Jesus, protects men from negligence of either their spiritual or carnal sphere, knowing that her Son deserves ALL that He gave us.

Not why but how
Why I need Mary if there is Jesus? This question is repeated over and over again, being asked by many Protestant friends and some Catholic sisters and brothers. The only Person who, undoubtedly, never posed such a question, was Jesus himself; He, however mysterious this may sound, indeed needed Mary to be here for you and me.
So next time, when tempted to repeat the old, well known question, please change you mind and ask yourself instead: How may I express my gratitude to Mary for there is Jesus...?
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us to your Son.

He is Love
Some people think that God cannot be understood when referred to in any human language.
That's, undoubtedly, true, and thus - as Pseudo Dionysius once stated - it is easier for us to tell who God is not than to declare who He is. Therefore, respecting and esteeming formal ways of the theological approach, it is better for us all to love God than to ponder over Him.
If it was otherwise He would not provide us with image, mystery and Goodness of His Sacred Heart.

The Encounter: It's all About Jesus
The Litany of Loreto is, undoubtedly, one of the most beautiful Christian prayers known to
the faithful. Some people would probably say that this is not a Christian but rather the Marian prayer.
They are only partially right, though, for – what is evident and clearly seen through this meditation – Mary is powerful and beautiful both thanks to Jesus and
for Him.
It is He who has granted His Mother with all the beauty, so we all may know that for a human being nothing is more
worthy and life-changing than an encounter with the Person of Christ.
