NOVENAS IN HONOUR OF OUR LADY.
FOR THE FEAST OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION OF MARY.
-
O MOST amiable Virgin, who were from all eternity the object of the divine love, obtain for us that you may become also the beloved object of our devotion. Ave.
-
O holy Virgin, whose conception was an especial grace of God granted to the prayers, the longing desires, and the mortifications of the patriarchs, prophets, and all the just, obtain for us that, by similar means, we may be made worthy to share in the divine favours. Ave.
-
O most privileged Virgin, by whose conception the barrenness of your parents was changed into wonderful fruitfulness, obtain that our sterile souls may become fruitful in good works and holy thoughts. Ave.
-
O immaculate Virgin, who alone amongst creatures were preserved from original sin, as well as from the slightest spot of actual stain, obtain for us that we may henceforth be kept from the least infection of sin. Ave.
-
O singular Virgin, who were not only preserved from sin, but from all tendency to evil, obtain for us that we may be enabled to keep so strict a guard over our senses, that, by mortifying our flesh, we may subdue those inclinations by which we become slaves to the law of sin. Ave.
-
O most fortunate Virgin, who were, from the moment of your conception, confirmed in divine love, obtain for us such copious graces as may keep us faithful and acceptable to God unto the end. Ave.
-
O most holy Virgin, who, at your conception, were replenished with the fulness of grace, obtain for us that, by means of prayer and the participation of the holy sacraments, we may receive all the graces which we require for our sanctification and salvation. Ave.
-
O most blessed Virgin, who, at the first instant of your life, were adorned with the choicest and most perfect virtues, obtain for us a most lively faith, the firmest hope, the most perfect charity, and all the other virtues which should adorn a Christian soul. Ave.
-
O blessed Virgin, whose conception announced the near approach of the glorious rising of the sun of justice, become the light of our minds, the joy of our hearts, our defence in dangers, our support in temptations, our comfort in tribulations; plant and nourish in our souls all those virtues which made you so admirable upon earth, and now render you so glorious in heaven. Ave. Gloria.
