DAY EIGHT NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL
NOV 25
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Theme: The Power of Mary: The Promise of Her Medal
Eighth Day: Rays from the Hands of Mary: The Grace of Finding Our Strength in a Deepening Faith. The virtue of faith is the ultimate grace that Mary bestows upon us through her perfect example, allowing us to live in the strength of our unique relationship with our Creator.
Come, O 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. And you shall renew the face of the earth.
Let Us Pray
O God, who did instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise and ever to rejoice in His consolation, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3 times).
O Lord, Jesus Christ, who have vouchsafed to glorify by numberless miracles 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, Who, with the Father and the Holy Spirit live and reign, God forever and ever. Amen.
O 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 Labouré, grant we beseech You, that filled with like humility, we may glorify this mystery by the word and work. Amen.
MEMORARE
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored your help or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, we fly unto you, O virgin of virgins, our Mother; to you we come, before you we kneel, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but, in your clemency, hear and answer them. Amen.
Novena Prayer
O Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ and our Mother, penetrated with the most lively confidence in your all-powerful and never failing intercession, manifested so often through the Miraculous Medal, we your loving and trustful children implore you 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 which we pray (here privately form your petitions). You know, 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 the 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.
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3 times).
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
