Annunciation Novena

March 16 - March 25

 

 

(Note: When March 25 falls during Holy Week, the Feast of the Annunciation is moved.  For the year 2013 the feast day is April 8. Novena begins Holy Saturday March 30, 2013.) 





I greet you, Ever-blessed Virgin, Mother of God, Throne of Grace, miracle of Almighty Power!  I greet you, Sanctuary of the Most Holy Trinity and Queen of the Universe, Mother of Mercy and refuge of sinners!

Most loving Mother, attracted by your beauty and sweetness, and by your tender compassion, I confidently turn to you, miserable as I am, and beg of you to obtain for me from your dear Son the favor I request in this novena:

(mention your request).

Obtain for me also Queen of heaven, the most lively contrition for my many sins and the grace to imitate closely those virtues which you practiced so faithfully, especially humility, purity and obedience.  Above all, I beg you to be my Mother and Protectress, to receive me into the number of your devoted children, and to guide me from your high throne of glory. 

Do not reject my petitions, Mother of Mercy!  Have pity on me, and do not abandon me during life or at the moment of my death. Amen.
