Please consider joining us in praying this novena to Our Lady of Sorrows for the reinstatement of the Traditional Latin Mass in our Diocese, starting today and ending on her Feast, March 27th. Please share with everyone you know. Let us be like the Israelites in Esther, fasting and praying as a collective cry for Divine intervention.
Most Sorrowful Heart of Mary, over the course of the next 12-days, I consecrate to Thee my novena made in honor of Your Seven Sorrows. Through the sword that pierced Thine own Heart, please reveal my greatest defect and hidden mystery of the reinstatement of the Traditional Latin Mass in our Diocese. I also lay before Your Immaculate Heart the following request:
That the Traditional Latin Mass may be reinstated in our Diocese and celebrated daily with the blessing of the Bishop of the Diocese of Knoxville and in union with the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church; that the Lord may grace us with humility and hope to receive the good gifts of the Father with joy.
I am confident in Your love for me as your child and simply wish to live a perfect life, pleasing to Your Divine Son. I thank Thee in advance for all the graces You are and will bestow on me; and I pray for the particular grace, when this novena ends, to have an eternal devotion to Your Sorrows and invoke Thee in times of joy, as well as sorrow, all the days of my life. When the day and hour comes, for the veil to be lifted, when I see Thee face to Face, I only ask that Thou be the One to present me to Christ the King, when I depart this valley of tears, in great hopes of finally entering eternal life. Amen.
