The following novena honors
the nine months in which
Our Lady carried Our Blessed Lord
in her womb.
Pray the following prayer devoutly
every day from March 25th through
December 25th
for each of three intentions
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,
our life, our sweetness and our hope!
To thee do we cry,
poor banished children of Eve;
to thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping
in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy towards us;
and after this our exile,
show unto us
the blessed fruit of thy womb Jesus.
O clement, O loving,
O sweet Virgin Mary.
Amen.
V - Pray for us, most holy mother of God.
R - That we may be made worthy
of the promises of Christ.
Virgin of the Incarnation,
a thousand times we greet thee,
a thousand times we praise thee
for thy joy
when God was incarnated in thee.
Because thou art so powerful
a Virgin and Mother of God,
grant what
we ask of thee
for the love of God.
Here state intention Number 1;
Repeat all of above and state intention Number 2;
Repeat a third time and state intention Number 3.
After above prayers and
intentions say the Memorare:
Remember, O most Gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone
who fled to thy
protection,
implored thy help or
sought thy intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of Virgins, my mother.
To thee do I cry,
before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
Hail Mary, full of Grace...
Blessed and praised be
the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar,
in Heaven, on earth and everywhere.
