The Miraculous Medal Novena
Come,
Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of
Your love. Send forth Your Spirit, and they shall be created; and You
shall renew the face of the earth. O God, You instructed the hearts of
the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit. Grant us in the same
Spirit to be truly wise and ever to rejoice in His consolation, through Jesus
Christ out Lord. Amen.
O Mary, conceived without sin,
pray for us who have recourse to thee.

Lord, Jesus Christ, You have been pleased to glorify by numberless miracles
the Blessed Virgin Mary, immaculate from the first moment of her conception.
Grant that all who devoutly implore her protection on earth may eternally
enjoy Your presence in heaven, Who, with the Father and the Holy Spirit live
and reign, God forever and ever. Amen.
Lord Jesus Christ, for the accomplishment of your works, You have chosen the
weak things of the world, that no flesh may glory in your sight. And for a
better and more widely diffused belief in the Immaculate Conception of Your
Mother, You have wished that the Miraculous Medal be manifested to Saint
Catherine Labouré. Grant, we beseech You, that filled with like humility, we
may glorify this mystery by the word and work. Amen.
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, tat never was it known that anyone who
fled to your protection, implored you help or sought your intercession, was
left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to you, O virgin of
virgins, my Mother; to you I come, before you stand, sinful and sorrowful. O
Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear
and answer me. Amen.
Immaculate Virgin Mary, mother of our Lord Jesus Christ and out 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 which we pray...
(Mention your request)
You know, 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 out 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.
O Mary, conceived without sin,
pray for us who have recourse to thee.
(3 times)
Amen.
