I am doing this novena perpetually until I get a job. It is beautiful and I love saying the words and it gives me hope. Novena for Impossible Requests" This Novena honors the nine months during which Our Lady carried Our Blessed Lord in her womb. Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us; and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Amen." V - Pray for us, most holy mother of God. R - That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. "Virgin of the Incarnation, a thousand times we greet thee, a thousand times we praise thee for thy joy when God was incarnated in thee. Because thou art so powerful a Virgin and Mother of God, grant what we ask of thee for the love of God." Here state your first intention. Repeat all of above and then state your second intention. Repeat all of above and then state your third intention. After the above prayers and intentions, say the Memorare. Remember, O most Gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins, my mother. To thee do I cry, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen. Hail Mary... Blessed and praised be the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar, in Heaven, on earth and everywhere. AMEN.
PotatoSack, What a beautiful prayer! A funny thing occurred when I reached the line: a thousand times we greet thee,. For a second I thought I would have to repeat the whole thing a thousand tomes! Whew, that was a close one! :lol: Safe in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary!
Very, Very nice, Potatosack! I am continuing my Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus until I get a job, and at the end is the "Hail Holy Queen", which I love to say. I had a very good interview on Tuesday, but have not heard anything back yet. Sometimes the waiting for an outcome is harder than the searching for an opportunity! I may have to start an official 54 day novena...
saying a prayer a thousand times would be pretty daunting for the most fierce of prayer warriors...thankfully God knows how weak we all are!! I forgot to say that this novena is in honor of the 9 months Mary carried Jesus in her womb. I'm going to amend my original post to reflect that.
thanks for this potatosack, its been a while since i have done a novena I will try this! to convert some unbelievers that I know, seems impossible right now lol.
