DIVINE APPEAL 236: “Suffer and learn, united with the sufferings of My Mother at the foot of the Cross. I will not abandon you until I have led you to the room of My Eternal Splendours.”
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Opening Prayer (to be said each day):
Glorious Virgin Mary,
We long to love your Son, Jesus, the way He deserves to be loved—with the love of your Immaculate Heart. Unite us to your Immaculate Heart so that we will be open to receive your Son with the same dispositions by which you received Him. Your Immaculate Heart is supremely gentle, steadfast, and watchful—completely given over to the will of God. Lead us out of the darkness of ignorance, free us from all selfishness and willful self-assertion, and train us in conformity with your Immaculate Heart.
Let us always trust your Immaculate Heart as a true source of grace and mercy. In sharing in the Passion of your Son, your Immaculate Heart was pierced. May your immaculate love embrace us in moments of suffering.
We beg to make reparation for all offenses against your Immaculate Heart as we offer you our intentions (mention your request).
Amen.
Daily Novena Prayer
O Most Blessed Mother, Heart of Love, Heart of Mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children, we implore your intercession with Jesus, your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today, especially
(mention intention here).
We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your gentle care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting.
Help all of us, Holy Mother, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever. Amen.
Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory Be…
Act of Consecration – by Pope Pius XII
Most Holy Virgin Mary, tender Mother of men, to fulfill the desires of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the request of the Vicar of Your Son on earth, we consecrate ourselves and our families to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, O Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and we recommend to You, all the people of our country and all the world. Please accept our consecration, dearest Mother, and use us as You wish to accomplish Your designs in the world.
O Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and Queen of the World, rule over us, together with the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, Our King. Save us from the spreading flood of modern paganism; kindle in our hearts and homes the love of purity, the practice of a virtuous life, an ardent zeal for souls, and a desire to pray the Rosary more faithfully.
We come with confidence to You, O Throne of Grace and Mother of Fair Love. Inflame us with the same Divine Fire which has inflamed Your own Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart. Make our hearts and homes Your shrine, and through us, make the Heart of Jesus, together with your rule, triumph in every heart and home.
Amen.
