NOVENAS IN HONOUR OF OUR LADY.
FOR THE NATIVITY.
-
O holy Virgin, whose birth into this world announced peace to suffering men, upon this solemn remembrance of your birth, obtain, we beseech you, true peace to our hearts, to the Church, and to all the world. Ave.
-
O invincible Virgin, who commenced, at the instant of your birth, the overthrow of the kingdom of the devil, obtain for us that we may be enabled to destroy his reign in our hearts, and continually to resist him by a lively faith, so that Christ may reign in us and with us forever. Ave.
-
Unspotted Virgin, who were born adorned with perfect purity, obtain for us that we may henceforward cease to live after the flesh, but may be enabled to lead a pure and spotless life, such as true Christians should do. Ave.
-
Heavenly Virgin, who came into the world to triumph over it, obtain for us that we also may be detached from it, living, not according to its laws, but to those of the gospel. Ave.
-
Glorious Virgin, who were born to triumph over all heresy, dissipate by your power all the errors which oppose themselves to our holy religion, and preserve constantly in us that lively faith which works by charity. Ave.
-
Most holy Virgin, who appeared on this earth to afford us a bright mirror of virtue and holiness, let our eyes be continually turned towards you, that we may be enabled to imitate your virtuous deeds, and become holy like you. Ave.
-
Most happy Virgin, whom God created to bring forth Him who would heal the evils of the whole world, obtain for us that we may be preserved from all sin, the only real evil, and may make so profitable a use of divine grace, that we may attain eternal life. Ave.
