Novena in Preparation for the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Day Nine
Mediatrix between God and mankind, admirable Mary,
by your birth you perfected the joy
of all the children of Adam,
who, through you,
have received the Author of Grace,
for He has made you
the treasurer of all the graces
which are imparted to us.
May your birth be a special cause of joy to my soul
by obtaining for me from God,
eternal salvation
and all the graces necessary to obtain it.
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
