The Novena Prayer
BLESSED Mary, Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ, glory of the Church and Mother
of all Christians: of the generous love and courtesy wherewith thou hast
ever served the people of God, be pleased to take our needs to Him. As we
kneel before the Throne of our Eucharistic King, do thou bow before His
presence in Heaven and plead our cause for us, and by thy mighty intercession
obtain for us the petitions which we ask of God during this Novena, that
Jesus may triumph over the prince of this world, and souls be blessed and
saved, and God glorified in us all for ever and ever. Amen.
O JESUS, our Friend, our Master, our hidden Guest, accept our adoration,
our devotion, our life as an unending act of supplication for the intentions
of our Continuous Novena.
Amen.

Amen.
