The
Novena in honour of Our Lady of
The Miraculous Medal:
Leader: Come 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.
People: And you shall renew the face of the earth.
Leader: Let us pray. O God, who instructed the hearts of the faithful
by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to
savor what is right, and always to rejoice in his consolation.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
People: Amen.
Leader: O Mary, conceived without sin,
People: Pray for us who have recourse to you.
PRAYERS
Leader and People: Lord Jesus Christ, who has glorified your
mother, 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. 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 Laboure,
grant, we ask you that filled with like humility, we may glorify
this mystery by word and work. Amen.
NOVENA PRAYER
Leader and People: Immaculate Virgin Mary, mother of our Lord
Jesus and our mother, we have confidence in your powerful and
never-failing intercession, manifested often through the Miraculous
Medal. We your loving and trustful children, ask you to obtain
for us the graces and favors we ask during this novena if they
will be for the glory of God and the salvation of souls. (Here
privately form your petitions.) You know, O 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 a 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.
PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL
Leader and People: Virgin Mother of God, Mary Immaculate, we
unite ourselves to you under your title of Our Lady of the Miraculous
Medal. May this medal be for each one of us a sure sign of your
motherly affection for us and a constant reminder of our filial
duties towards you. While wearing it, may we be blessed by your
loving protection and preserved in the grace of your Son. Most
powerful Virgin, Mother of our Savior, keep us close to you
every moment of our lives so that like you we may live and act
according to the teaching and example of your Son. Obtain for
us, your children, the grace of a happy death so that in union
with you we may enjoy the happiness of heaven forever. Amen.
Leader: O Mary, conceived without sin,
People: Pray for us who have recourse to you.
CLOSING PRAYER
O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us: O Mary conceived
without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
