Novena Prayer

O Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ and our Mother, Penetrated with the most lively confidence In thy all powerful and never failing Intercession, manifested so often through The Miraculous Medal, we thy loving and Trustful children, implore thee to obtain For us the graces and favours we ask During this Novena, if they be beneficial To our immortal souls and the souls for Whom we pray. (Here make your personal petitions) Thou knowest O Mary, how often our Souls have been the sanctuaries of thy Son Who hates iniquity. Obtain for us Then a deep hatred of sin, and that purity Of heart which will attach us to God Alone so that our every thought, word And deed may tend to His greater glory. Obtain for us also a spirit of prayer and Self-denial that we may recover by Penance what we have lost by sin, and at Length attain to that blessed abode where Thou art the Queen of angels and of men. Amen.
