Novena in Preparation for the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Day Seven
Resplendent Morning Star, lovable Mary,
your birth was the cause of great joy to the angels,
for they beheld in you,
the Mother of the Redeemer of the world,
who by His Death
would repair the loss sustained
by the fall of rebellious angels in paradise.
May your birth give joy to my soul,
by obtaining for me from God,
victory over the infernal enemy,
deliverance from all his snares
and the grace to be associated
in glory with the angels in heaven.
Dearest Mother, please pray for me
and for these my intentions…
……………………. (State your intentions)
Hail Mary…
Prayer:
Your Nativity, O Virgin Mother of God,
was the herald of joy to the whole world;
since from you arose the Sun of Justice,
Christ our God, Who,
destroying the curse,
bestowed the blessing
and confounding death,
rewarded us with life everlasting.
V. Let us celebrate with joy the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
R. That she may intercede for us with Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Let us pray:
Grant to us Your servants,
we beseech You, O Lord,
the gift of Your heavenly grace,
that as our salvation was begun
in the child-bearing of the Blessed Virgin,
so from this solemn festival of her Nativity,
may we obtain an increase of peace.
Through Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen
