Novena_to

See at your feet,
O Mother of Perpetual Help,
a poor sinner who has recourse to you and
confides in you.

O Mother of Mercy, have pity on me!
You are called the refuge and hope of
sinners; be my refuge and my hope.
Help me, for the love of Jesus Christ;
stretch forth your hand to a poor,
fallen creature. I recommend myself to
you, and I want to devote myself to your
service forever. I bless and thank almighty
God, who in his mercy has given me this
confidence in you, which I hold
to be a pledge of my eternal salvation.

Mary, help me. Mother of Perpetual Help,
never allow me to lose my God.

(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be, three times.)

The Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help

(Repeat this prayer each day for nine
consecutive days.)

O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may
ever invoke your powerful name, the protection
of the living and the salvation of the dying.
Purest Mary, let your name henceforth be ever
on my lips. Delay not, Blessed Lady, to rescue
me whenever I call on you. In my temptations,
in my needs, I will never cease to call on you,
ever repeating your sacred name, Mary, Mary.
What a consolation, what sweetness, what
confidence fills my soul when I utter your sacred
name or even only think of you! I thank the Lord
for having given you so sweet, so powerful, so
lovely a name. But I will not be content with
merely uttering your name. Let my love for you
prompt me ever to hail you Mother of
Perpetual Help.

Mother of Perpetual Help, pray for me and
grant me the favor I confidently ask of you.
(mention your request)

Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women, and blessed
is the fruit of your womb; Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us
sinners, now and at the
hour of our death. Amen.
