Daily
Novena Prayer
Most
blessed Lady, Mother of Our Savior,
I
come to you now with full confidence
in
your mercy, and in deep sorrow for my
past
sins. As I know your power with God,
so
I beg your help in securing the favor I
need.
(Here,
please mention your special
intentions.)
You
will obtain for me, I am sure, not only
what
I ask, but also the grace to profit from
your
aid by leading a Christian life modeled
on
your own life of love. Amen.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
First
Day
Son, they have no wine. (Jn 2:4)
Most
blessed Mother, because you asked Him,
our
Lord worked His first miracle at the wedding
in
Cana. Please ask Him now for my need as you
did
for the bridal couple at the feast.
In
thanksgiving I pledge to lead a good life, avoid
sin,
and be more constant in prayer to honor you.
Amen.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
Second
Day
A sword shall pierce your heart. (Lk 2:35)
Most
compassionate Mother, you were no stranger
to
grief in your lifetime. In remembrance of your
great
sorrows, please intercede now with God in mine.
In
return I promise to imitate your patience and
trust
in God in all the trials of life. Amen.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
Third
Day
Son, why have you done so to us? (Lk 2:48)
Most
loving Mother, you found it hard, as I do, to
understand
God's ways. Please come to aid me
now,
and help all who seek your assistance to
trust
as you did in God's goodness.
In
gratitude I shall try with your help to treasure
in
my heart the words and example of your Son,
and
obey His commandments. Amen.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
Fourth
Day
You fill the hungry with good things. (Lk 1:53)
Most
considerate Mother, the Lord rewarded your
faith
abundantly. In your goodness kindly take my
cause
as your own. I entrust my cares to you so
that
we may always rejoice in your help.
In
appreciation I shall try to act humbly and
purely
always in daily imitation of your virtues.
Amen.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
Fifth
Day
Be it done unto me according to your word. (Lk 1:38)
Most
obedient Mother, despite your fears and
concerns
you proved faithful to God's will. Be
gracious
to me, then, and help me now in my
pressing
fears and anxieties.
In
remembrance of your help I will be a faithful and
devoted
servant of your Son, our Savior.
Amen.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
Sixth
Day
All generations shall call me blessed. (Lk 1:49)
Most
blessed Virgin and Mother, the Lord rewarded
your
fidelity by making your power known to all
generations
of men. Please come now to my
assistance
to show your power anew.
Most
merciful Mother, I will praise your goodness
always
and thank you by being ever devoted to the
things
of God. Amen.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
Seventh
Day
Son, behold your mother. (Jn 19:26)
Most
sorrowful Virgin, you stood close to your Son
as
He suffered on the Cross. By your pain in that
hour
be kind to me now in my time of need, and entreat
our
Savior to grant my request.
With
your unfailing aid, most loving Mother, I will
remain
always close to you and to the cross of Christ.
Amen.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
Eighth
Day
They
found the child with Mary, His mother.
(Mt
2:11)
Most
glorious Mother, Mary, in your place of glory
close
to God's throne, be mindful of my problems and
petitions;
please mention them to your divine Son,
who
will grant my requests for your sake.
Most
attentive Mother, I will strive to show my
gratefulness
by following your example and
imitating
your virtues. Amen.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
Ninth
Day
A
woman dressed like the sun with the moon under
her
feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
(Rv
12:2)
Most
glorious Mother, you are always with your Son.
Speak
to Him for me of my many needs. He will not
fail
to heed your plea.
By
your constant aid, blessed Mother, may I remain
ever
close to you, and to your Son. Amen.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
Daily
Consecration Prayer
Virgin
Mother, Mary you revealed yourself at Lourdes
to
Saint Bernadette, and have since granted countless
graces
and favors to all who seek your aid. I now
consecrate
my life to you under your title of
Our
Lady of Lourdes, and ask you confidently to
secure
for me and for all who implore your mercy the
blessings
we stand most in need of. We ask your aid
through
your divine Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Please
try each day of the Novena to attend
Mass
in your parish church,
and
recite at least one decade of Our Lady's rosary
for
your own intentions,
and
for all who are praying with you
during
this Solemn Novena.
