Priest:
Come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your Faithful, and kindle in them
the fire of Your love.
Send forth Your Spirit, and they shall be created.
People: And You shall
renew the face of the earth.
Priest: Let us pray.
Oh God, who did instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the
Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise and ever to
rejoice in His consolation, through Jesus Christ Our Lord.
People: Amen.
Priest: O Mary, conceived
without sin.
People: Pray for us
who have recourse to you. (3 times.)
Priest and People:
O Lord Jesus Christ, who have vouchsafed to glorify by numberless miracles
the Blessed Virgin Mary, immaculate from the first moment of her conception,
grant that all who devoutly implore her protection on earth, may eternally
enjoy Your presence in heaven, who, with the Father and Holy Spirit, live
and reign, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
O Lord Jesus Christ, who for the accomplishment of Your greatest works,
have chosen the weak things of the world, that no flesh may glory in Your
sight; and who for a better and more widely diffused belief in the Immaculate
Conception of Your Mother, have wished that the Miraculous Medal be manifested
to Saint Catherine Labouré, grant, we beseech You, that filled
with like humility, we may glorify this mystery by word and work. Amen.
Memorare
Priest and People:
Remember, O most compassionate Virgin Mary, that never was it known that
anyone who fled to your protection, implored your assistance, or sought
your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, we
fly unto you, O Virgin of Virgins, our Mother; to you we come; before
you we knee sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise
not our petitions, but in your clemency hear and answer them. Amen.
Novena
Prayer
Priest and People:
O Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of Our Lord Jesus and our Mother, penetrated
with the most lively confidence in your all-powerful and never-failing
intercession, manifested so often through the Miraculous Medal, we your
loving and trustful children implore you to obtain for us the graces and
favors we ask during this Novena, if they be beneficial to our immortal
souls, and the souls for whom we pray. (Here privately form your petitions.)
You know, O Mary, how often our souls have been the sanctuaries of your
Son who hates iniquity. Obtain for us then a deep hatred of sin and that
purity of heart which will attach us to God alone so that our every thought,
word and deed may tend to His greater glory. Obtain for us also a spirit
of prayer and self-denial that we may recover by penance what we have
lost by sin and at length attain to that blessed abode where you are the
Queen of angels and of men. Amen.
An
Act of Consecration to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal
Priest and People:
O Virgin Mother of God, Mary Immaculate, we dedicate and consecrate ourselves
to you under the title of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. May this Medal
be for each one of us a sure sign of your affection for us and a constant
reminder of our duties toward you. Ever while wearing it, may we be blessed
by your loving protection and preserved in the grace of your Son. O most
powerful Virgin, Mother of our Savior, keep us close to you every moment
of our lives. Obtain for us, your children, the grace of a happy death;
so that, in union with you, we may may enjoy the bliss of heaven forever.
Amen.
Priest: O Mary, conceived
without sin,
People: Pray for us
who have recourse to you. (3 times.)
