In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The Blessed Virgin Mary has always been a loving and faithful intercessor for her children. In moments of uncertainty, sorrow, or need, we can turn to her as our Mother, knowing she will bring our petitions before her Son. This novena is a nine-day journey of prayer, entrusting ourselves to Mary’s care and asking for her help in our needs.
