Novena to Our Lady of
Perpetual Help
(June 18 - June 26)
Prayer to Our Mother of Perpetual Help
Mother of Perpetual Help, you have been blessed and favored by God. You became
not only the Mother of the Redeemer, but the Mother of the redeemed as well. We
come to you today as you loving children. Watch over us and take care of us. As
you held the child Jesus in your loving arms, so take us in your arms. Be a
mother ready at every moment to help us. For God who is mighty has done great
things for you, and his mercy is from age to age on those who love Him. Our
greatest fear is that in time of temptation, we may fail to call out to you,
and become lost children. Intercede for us, dear Mother, in obtaining pardon
for our sins, love for Jesus, final perseverance, and the grace always to call
upon you, Mother of Perpetual Help. Amen.
Novena Prayer
Behold at thy feet, O Mother of
Perpetual Help, a wretched sinner who has recourse to thee and confides in
thee. O Mother of mercy, have pity on me. I hear thee called by all the refuge
and the hope of sinners: be then, my refuge and my hope. Assist me, for the
love of Jesus Christ; stretch forth thy hand to a miserable fallen creature who
recommends himself to thee, and who devotes himself to thy service for ever. I bless and thank Almighty God, who
in His mercy has given me this confidence in thee, which I hold to be a pledge
of my eternal salvation. It is true that in the past I have miserably fallen
into sin, because I had not recourse to thee. I know that, with thy help, I
shall conquer. I know, too, that thou wilt assist
me, if I recommend myself to thee; but I fear that, in time of danger, I may
neglect to call on thee, and thus lose my soul. The grace, then, I ask of thee, and
this I beg, with all the fervor of my soul, that in all the attacks of hell I
may ever have recourse to thee. O Mary! help me; O Mother of
Perpetual Help, never suffer me to lose my God.
Hail Mary (3x)
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is
with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and
blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us
sinners, now, and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
