Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help

Begin Novena

[Say for nine (9) consecutive days]

See at Your feet,
O Mother of Perpetual Help,
a poor sinner who has recourse to You
and confides in You.

O Mother of Mercy,
have pity on me!
I hear You called the refuge
and the hope of sinners;
be my refuge and my hope.
 
Help me, for the love of Jesus Christ;
stretch forth your hand to a poor fallen creature
who recommends himself (herself) to you,
and who devotes himself (herself) to your service forever.
I bless and thank Almighty God,
Who in His mercy had given me this confidence in you,
which I hold to be a pledge of my eternal salvation.

Mary, tender Mother, help me.
Mother of Perpetual Help,
never allow me to lose my God.

Amen

Recite the following prayers 3 times each...

Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...

My name is Mother of Perpetual Help

No century or country can claim me.

I belong to all ages and all peoples.

Many names have been given to me.

I have been called the "Virgin of the Passion," the "Golden Madonna," the "Mother of the Redemptorist Missionaries", the "Mother of Catholic homes".

The name of my own choosing is "Mother of Perpetual Help." It is also the name by which Pope Pius IX requested the Redemptorist Missionaries to make me known.

My story is of how Heaven hallows human happenings for purposes Divine. It is a history of a straight line drawn through human history.

It is the story of an unknown artist, a repentant thief, a curious little girl, an abandoned church, an old religious and a Pope.

And above all, it is the story of my presence in the apostolic life of the Missionaries of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer.
