The Mission has some urgent needs, and we have recourse to the merciful intercession of our Heavenly Mother and Queen.
Beginning October 30 (Wed), the Chapel will pray a Novena in honor of Our Lady, Mediatrix of All Graces.*
We ask the faithful to join in praying this Novena. It will be composed of the following prayers:
• Novena Prayer (Intentions; below)
• Holy Rosary (5 Decades)
• The Memorare
• Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces
It will be prayed before each daily Mass (should there be no Mass, it will be recited at the Chapel before the Blessed Sacrament).
Immaculate Heart of Mary, Pray for us!
NOVENA PRAYER TO MARY, MEDIATRIX OF ALL GRACES
[Oct. 30 – Nov. 7]
Immaculate Heart of Mary, we come to thee in our necessities and invoke thee under the very special title of “Mediatrix of All Graces.” We ask thee to help us amidst many difficulties, and to resolve our predicaments.
We present the following petitions for the glory of God, the good of our souls, and the triumph of the Church:
I. For the Intentions of the Mission:
• To send good and holy priests in the vineyard of the Lord, who will help and stay in the Mission’s work;
• For sufficient funds to cover all Mission needs and activities, including payment of arrears and acquisition of new property;
• For holy vocations in the Mission, and continued growth and stability;
• For our pastor’s good health, guidance and protection.
II. For the Intentions of the Faithful:
• For the intentions of those we promised to pray, or asked for our prayers;
• For the intentions of Mr. Gilman;
• For the healing of sick members;
• For our personal petitions.
Sweet Heart of Mary, we ask thee to come to our aid; be our salvation and that of our family and country. We invite thee to come, to be the divine shepherdess of our souls. We ask thee to open thine arms, and spread thy gifts. We ask thee to mercifully hear our prayers, and grant our petitions.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us who have recourse to thee, and be thou our unfailing Mediatrix and Advocate before the throne of the Most Holy Trinity! Amen.
“Come to the foot of this altar.
Here graces will be poured out over all persons, great or small,
Who request them with confidence and devotion.”
“The rays of light from my hands are the graces I shower on those who request them.”
– Our Lady to St. Catherine Labouré
