Novena in Preparation for the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Day 4
O
Lord, open thou my lips.
And
my mouth shall declare thy praise.
O
God, come to my assistance;
O
Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory
be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the
beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Sweet
Heart of Mary,
Be
my salvation.
Immaculate
Heart of Mary,
Convert
sinners, save souls from hell!
Prayer to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
O
Glorious Queen of Martyrs, whose sacred heart, in the Passion of thy Son, was
cruelly pierced by the sword foretold by the holy and aged Simeon. Obtain for
my heart true courage and holy patience to bear well the tribulations and
trials of this wretched life; may I show myself to be thy true child by
crucifying my flesh and all its desires in following the mortification of the
Cross.
An Act of Reparation
O
blessed Virgin, Mother of God, look down in mercy from Heaven, where thou art
enthroned as Queen, upon me, a miserable sinner, thine unworthy servant. Although I know full well my own
unworthiness, yet in order to atone for the blasphemies, sacrileges, insults
and offenses that are done to thee by impious and blasphemous men, from the
depths of my heart I praise and extol thee as the purest, the fairest, the
holiest creature of all God’s handiwork. I bless thy holy Name, I praise thine
exalted privilege of being truly Mother of God, ever Virgin, conceived without
stain of sin, gloriously assumed body and soul into heaven, Co-Redemptrix of
the human race, and Mediatrix of all graces. I bless the Eternal Father, Who
chose thee in an especial way for His daughter; I bless the Word Incarnate, Who
took upon Himself our nature in thy bosom and so made thee His Mother; I bless
the Holy Ghost, Who took thee as His bride. All honor, praise and thanksgiving
to the ever-blessed Trinity, Who predestined thee and loved thee so exceedingly
from all eternity as to exalt thee above all creatures to the most sublime
heights. O Virgin, holy and merciful, Obtain for all who offend thee the grace
of repentance, and graciously accept this poor act of homage from me thy
servant, obtaining likewise for me from thy Divine Son the pardon and remission of all my sins.
Amen.
Novena Prayer
O
glorious and immaculate Heart of Mary, thy soul was pierced by a sword of
sorrow at the sight of the Passion of thy divine Son. Intercede for me and
obtain for me from Jesus (state your intentions), if it be for His honor and
glory and for my good. Amen. O heart most pure of the Blessed Virgin, Obtain
for me from Jesus a pure and humble heart.
