The
Novena in honour of Our Lady of
The Miraculous Medal:
Leader: Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and
kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit, and
they shall be created.
People: And you shall renew the face of the earth.
Leader: Let us pray. O God, who instructed the hearts of the faithful
by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to
savor what is right, and always to rejoice in his consolation.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
People: Amen.
Leader: O Mary, conceived without sin,
People: Pray for us who have recourse to you.
PRAYERS
Leader and People: Lord Jesus Christ, who has glorified your
mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, immaculate from the first
moment of her conception, grant that all who devoutly implore
her protection on earth may eternally enjoy your presence in
heaven. Lord Jesus Christ, who for the accomplishment of your
greatest works have chosen the weak things of the world, that
no flesh may glory in your sight, and who for a better and
more widely diffused belief in the Immaculate Conception of
your Mother, have wished that the Miraculous Medal be manifested
to Saint Catherine Laboure, grant, we ask you that filled with
like humility, we may glorify this mystery by word and work.
Amen.
NOVENA PRAYER
Leader and People: Immaculate Virgin Mary, mother of our Lord
Jesus and our mother, we have confidence in your powerful and
never-failing intercession, manifested often through the Miraculous
Medal. We your loving and trustful children, ask you to obtain
for us the graces and favors we ask during this novena if they
will be for the glory of God and the salvation of souls. (Here
privately form your petitions.) You know, O Mary, how often
our souls have been the sanctuaries of your 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 you are the queen of angels and of
men. Amen.
PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL
Leader and People: Virgin Mother of God, Mary Immaculate, we
unite ourselves to you under your title of Our Lady of the
Miraculous Medal. May this medal be for each one of us a sure
sign of your motherly affection for us and a constant reminder
of our filial duties towards you. While wearing it, may we
be blessed by your loving protection and preserved in the grace
of your Son. Most powerful Virgin, Mother of our Savior, keep
us close to you every moment of our lives so that like you
we may live and act according to the teaching and example of
your Son. Obtain for us, your children, the grace of a happy
death so that in union with you we may enjoy the happiness
of heaven forever. Amen.
Leader: O Mary, conceived without sin,
People: Pray for us who have recourse to you.
CLOSING PRAYER
O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us: O Mary conceived
without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. |
