Novena to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit. Amen.
Come, O 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. And You shall renew the face of
the earth.
Let Us Pray
O God who did instruct the hearts
of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same
Spirit to be truly wise and ever to
rejoice in His consolation,
through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen
O Mary, conceived without sin. Pray for us who have
recourse to you. (3 times)
O Lord Jesus Christ, who have vouchsafed to glorify
by numberless miracles 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, who, with the Father
and Holy Spirit, live and reign, God,
for ever and ever. Amen.
O Lord Jesus Christ, who for the accomplishment of
Your greatest works, has 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,
has wished that the Miraculous
Medal be manifested to Saint
Catherine Labouré, grant, I beseech You, that filled with like
humility, I may glorify this mystery by word and
work. Amen.
Memorare
Remember, O most compassionate Virgin
Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your
protection, implored your assistance, or sought
your intercession,
was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto you, O
Virgin of Virgins, my Mother; to you I come; before you
I kneel
sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my
petitions, but in your clemency hear and answer them. Amen.
Novena Prayer
O Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother
of Our Lord Jesus and my Mother, penetrated with the most lively
confidence in your all-powerful and
never-failing intercession,
manifested so often through the Miraculous Medal. I, your loving and
trustful child, implore you to obtain for me
the graces and favors
I ask during this Novena, if they be beneficial to my immortal soul,
and the souls for whom I pray. (here privately form
your
petitions) You know, O Mary, how often my soul has been the sanctuary
of your Son who hates iniquity. Obtain for me then a deep
hatred
of sin and that purity of heart which will attach me to God alone so
that my every thought, word and deed may tend to His greater
glory.
Obtain for me also a spirit of prayer and self-denial that
I may recover by penance what I have lost by sin and at length attain
to that blessed
abode where you are the Queen of angels and of all
people. Amen.
An Act of Consecration to Our Lady of the
Miraculous Medal
O Virgin Mother of God, Mary Immaculate, I dedicate
and consecrate myself to you under the title of Our Lady of the
Miraculous Medal. May
this Medal be for me a sure sign of your
affection for me and a constant reminder of my duties toward you.
Ever while wearing it, may I be
blessed by your loving protection
and preserved in the grace of your Son. O most powerful Virgin,
Mother of my Savior, keep me close to you
every moment of my life.
Obtain for me, your child, the grace of a happy death; so that, in
union with you, I may enjoy the bliss of heaven
forever. Amen.
O Mary, conceived without sin. Pray for us who have
recourse to you. (3 times)
