Novena to the Immaculate Conception

Novena to the Immaculate Conception
Begin the Novena to the Immaculate Conception on November 29 and end on December 7, the Vigil of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.

Immaculate Virgin Mary, you were pleasing in the sight of God from the first moment of your conception in the womb of your mother, St. Anne. You were chosen to be the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I believe the teaching of Holy Mother Church, that in the first instant of your conception, by the singular grace and privilege of Almighty God, in virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race and beloved Son of God, you were preserved from all stain of original sin. I thank God for this wonderful privilege and grace He bestowed upon you as I honor your Immaculate Conception.

Look graciously upon me as I implore this special favor: (mention your request).

Virgin Immaculate, Mother of God and my Mother, from your throne in heaven turn your eyes of pity upon me. Filled with confidence in your goodness and power, I beg you to help me in this journey of life which is so full of dangers for my soul. I entrust myself entirely to you, that I may never be the slave of the devil through sin, but may always live a humble and pure life.

My holy Mother, I beseech you to pray that I may desire God’s will in all things, and that I may increase in my faith, hope, and love for our risen Lord.

I consecrate myself to you forever, for my only desire is to love your divine Son, Jesus. O Blessed Mother, since none of your devout servants has perished, may I, too, be saved.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
