PRAYERS

NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF CHARITY

Act of Contrition

I confess to almighty God and to you, brothers that I have sinned in thought, word, and deed: through my fault, through my fault, through my great fault. And I ask blessed Mary, ever virgin, all the angels and

saints and you, my brothers, to pray for me before God, our Lord.

Prayer for every day:

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who has come to Thee, implored your assistance and claimed your aid, de Vos has been abandoned. Inspired with this

confidence, I come to Thee also, O Virgin, Mother of the virgin, and though groaning under the weight of my sins I dare to appear before your holy sovereign presence. Do not cast pure Mother of God oh my

humble petitions, but, listen to them favorably. So be it.

Day One:

Hail! How my heart rejoices, most loving Virgin, with sweet memories in me awakened by this greeting! Full of joy my heart by saying the Hail Mary, to accompany the joy which filled your spirit to hear from

the mouth of Angel, and welcoming the choice you made to give the Lord Almighty.

Ask yourself the favor to be achieved.

Final prayer to recite every day: Oh, my Lady, my Mother, I give myself entirely to thee, And in proof of my filial affection, I consecrate this day my eyes, my ears, my tongue, my heart; in a word, my whole

being. Since I am yours, O Mother of mercy, save me and save me as a thing and your possession. Amen.

Second day:

Mary, holy name! Deign, most loving Mother, seal with your name on the memorial of our prayers, giving us the comfort of your Son, Jesus, kindly attend to achieve full belief in the practice of religious

duties, solid confirmation in the Christian virtues and desire for continuous our eternal salvation.

Third Day:

Full of Grace, Oh sweet mother! Hail Mary, tabernacle rested bodily rich that the fullness of the Godhead: your feet we are launching today for the grace of God is spread liberally on our poor souls,

purify, the magnify and every day they grow more the true love of God and our brothers.

Fourth Day:

The Lord is with thee: Blessed Virgin Oh! That huge Lord, which by its essence is in all things, is in t i and with you in a very superior. Mother, come by you to us. But how to come to a heart so full of dirt. Lord who wanted to make his own room, with such wonder, since they lost, being a mother, your virginity?

Oh die in us all impurity!

Day Five:

Blessed art thou among women. You, O Blessed Virgin Mary, glory of Jerusalem, thou art the joy of Israel, and you are the honor of our people. If a woman, Eve, shed so many tears in the world, for you we got the redemption. For this, you will always be blessed. Obtain for us a living and active faith to

consider and emulate the great things in you and through you God wrought.

Sixth day:

Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Greatly deplore, purest and most loving Virgin Mother, we have committed many sins, knowing that they were dying on your cross of your Son. Is the fruit of our prayer

that we do not cease to be blessed forever mourn Jesus, the blessed fruit of thy womb.

Seventh day:

Holy Mary, Mother of God. Your greatest claim to greatness, your greatest dignity, Mary is to be selected for the Mother of Jesus Christ, Son of God. This divine choice comes all your graces and

prerogatives. Never forget that you were also designated by your Divine Son, at the foot of the cross as our spiritual Mother. May we never lack strength to show us how worthy your children.

Eighth day:

Pray for us sinners. In you Virgin Mary, took refuge in castle. Although the uncertainties of life and the enemies of the soul have been stripped or can we rid ourselves of the beautiful garments of grace, away

from you and your beloved Son, we never close the doors of Sacred Heart.

Ninth day:

Now and in the hour of our death. We are always at risk of losing the grace of God and condemn. Do, Blessed Virgin Mary, for your intercession that we never lose the favor of God that in this difficult

struggle to find life in the maternal protection you need both and a lawyer at the hour of our death.
