Novena Prayer to Our Lady Of Vailankanni
Oh Most Holy Virgin! You were chosen by the Most Adorable Trinity from all
eternity to be the most pure
Mother of Jesus. Permit me, your humble and devoted servant, to remind you
of the joy received in the
instant of the Most Sacred Incarnation of our Divine Lord and during the
nine months you carried Him in
your chaste womb. I wish most sincerely that I could renew, or even
increase that joy, by the fervour of my
Prayers.
Oh! Tender Mother of the afflicted! Grant me under my present necessities
that special protection You have
promised to those who devoutly commemorate this ineffable joy. Relying on
the infinite mercies of your
Divine Son, trusting in the promise which He has made that those who ask
should receive, and penetrated
with confidence in your powerful prayers, I most humbly entreat you
intercede for me. I beg you to obtain
for me the favours which I petition for in this novena, if it be the Holy
Will of God to grant them; to ask for
me whatever graces I most stand in need of.
(Here specify your requests)
I desire by this novena, which I now offer in your honour, to prove the
lively confidence I have in your
intercession. Accept it, I beseech you, in honour of that supernatural
love and joy, with which your
Immaculate Heart was replenished during the abode of your divine Son in
your womb; in veneration of
which, I offer you the sentiments of my heart.
(Repeat the Hail Mary nine times)
and then say the following prayer:-
Oh! Mother of God! accept these salutations in union with the respect and
veneration with which the Angel
Gabriel first hailed you, "Full of Grace" I wish most sincerely that they
may become so many gems in the
crown of your incidental glory, which will increase in brightness to the
end of the world.
I beseech you, Oh! comfortress of the afflicted, by the joy you received,
when the word was made flesh, to
obtain for me the favours and graces, which I have now implored through
your powerful intercession. For
this end I offer you all the good works which have even been performed in
your honour. I most humbly
entreat you for the love of the amiable Heart of Jesus, with which yours
was ever so inflammed, to hear my
humble prayers and to obtain my requests.
- Amen.
This Novena prayer will be helpful to those helpless people when
everything fails, and who wants speedy
and visible answers to their agony.
Prayer to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Mary Immaculate, Mother of God and perfect Christian, you
treasured the word of God, in faith you pondered it in your heart
and acted on it in charity and service.
We know that as children of God and believing Christians, God's love
is given to us, "...the love of God has been poured into our hearts by
the Holy Spirit which has been given to us." (Romans 5:5) Your
heart as symbol of your love for God, for us, and for all creation,
reminds us that "as long as we love one another God will Live in us
And His Love will be complete in us." (John 4:12).
Prayer to Our Lady of Sorrows
Father,
As your Son was raised on the cross, His mother Mary stood by
Him, sharing His suffering.
May she, who is also our spiritual Mother and Patroness in heaven,
help us to find renewed strength at the cross of Christ and so to
come to share in His rising to new life, where He lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. AMEN.

Our Lady of Czestochowa Prayer
Our Lady of Perpetual Help
O Mother of God, Immaculate Mary, to Thee do I dedicate my body
and soul, all my prayers and deeds, my joys and sufferings, all that
I am an all that I have. With a joyful heart I surrender myself to Thy
love. To Thee will I devote my services of my own free will for the
salvation of mankind, and for the help of the Holy Church whose
Mother Thou art.
From now on my only desire is to do all things with Thee, through
Thee, and for Thee. I know I can accomplish nothing by my own
strength, whereas You can do everything that is the will of Thy Son,
Our Lord Jesus Christ. You are always victorious. Grant, therefore,
O Helper of the Faithful, that my family, my parish, and my country
might become in truth the Kingdom where Thou reignest in the
glorious presence God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy
Spirit, forever and ever. Amen
Our Lady of Lourdes Prayer
O Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy, you are the refuge of
sinners, the health of the sick, and the comfort of the afflicted. You
know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings. By your appearance at
the Grotto of Lourdes you made it a privileged sanctuary where your
favors are given to people streaming to it from the whole world.
Over the years countless sufferers have obtained the cure for their
infirmities -- whether of soul, mind, or body. Therefore I come to
you with limitless confidence to implore your motherly intercession.
Obtain, O loving Mother, the grant of my requests. Through
gratitude for Your favors, I will endeavor to imitate Your virtues, that
I may one day share in Your glory. Amen.
