O
Immaculate Virgin Mary,
Mother of Our Lord Jesus and our
Mother,
penetrated with the most lively
confidence in your all-powerful and never-failing
intercession,
manifested so often through the
Miraculous Medal,
we your loving and trustful
children implore you to obtain for us the graces and favors
we ask during this novena,
if they be beneficial to our
immortal souls,
and the souls for whom we pray.
(Here form your petition)
You know, O Mary, how often our
souls have been the sanctuaries of your Son who hates
iniquity.
Obtain for us then a deep hatred
of sin and that purity of heart which will attach us to God
alone so that
our every thought, word and deed
may tend to His greater glory.
Obtain for us also a spirit of
prayer and self-denial that we may recover by penance what
we have lost
by sin and at length attain to
that blessed abode where you are the Queen of angels and of
men.
Amen.
