DAY 6 OF NOVENA IN HONOR OF OUR LADY OF VIRTUES
+ In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
OPENING SALUTATION
Flower of Carmel,
blossoming vine;
Splendor of heaven,
Mother benign;
None like to thee.
Mother of meekness,
peerless thou art;
To Carmel’s children,
favors impart;
Star of the sea.
THE MEMORARE
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
Our Lady of Virtues, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, we fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, our mother; to you do we come, before you we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer us.
Amen.
NOVENA PRAYER – DAY 6
Dear Mary, untiring seeker of God, give us the strength you had in seeking your Jesus who was
lost in the temple.
Dear Mary, untiring seeker of God, guide our steps so that on life's journey we may always follow
Jesus, lighthouse that enlightens us.
Dear Mary, Mother Most Pure, be our faithful companion on the journey towards Jesus.
Amen.
PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF VIRTUES
Our Lady of Virtues: these intentions (mention your intentions) which, through God's mercy and your favour, I have formed
in these practices, to you I have offered them and in your hands they are. Foment them, activate
them, give them firmness, constancy, perseverance, efficacy and fortitude. I offer myself anew so
that I can put them into action. I entrust them to your maternal solicitude, most beautiful, most
amiable and skillful gardener, into your hands I leave my crown; into your sacred hands I
commend my virtues. Guard them, protect them, water them, cultivate them and perfect them.
Amen.
Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory be…
