NOVENA for the Immaculate Conception (8 Dec): Day 7

Today is the 7th Day for a Novena before the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.

Will you participate?  Even if you are late to starting, that’s okay!  Start anyway.  And remember that there is no one way to observe this Novena.  But here’s one way.

GIVE SOME THOUGHT TO AN INTENTION.

Suggestions for intentions:

• the overturning of Traditionis custodes.
• an increase of vocations to the priesthood.
• the miraculous healing of a sick loved one.
• conquering a principal fault.
• the return of a fallen away Catholic through practice by confession and Communion.
• that your bishop will be manifestly courageous and faithful.

Day 7:

O God, who by the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary,  did prepare a worthy dwelling place for Your Son,  we beseech You that, as by the foreseen death of this, Your Son, You did preserve Her from all stain,  so too You would permit us, purified through Her intercession, to come unto You.  Through the same Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit,  God, world without end.  Amen.

O Immaculate Virgin, Mother of God, and my mother, from the sublime heights of your dignity turn your merciful eyes upon me while I, full of confidence in your bounty and keeping in mind your Immaculate conception and fully conscious of your power, beg of you to come to our aid and ask your Divine Son to grant the favor we earnestly seek in this novena… if it be beneficial for our immortal souls and the souls for whom we pray.

 (State your intention here… )

O Mary of the Immaculate Conception, Mother of Christ, you had influence with your Divine Son while upon this earth; you have the same influence now in heaven. Pray for us and obtain for us from him the granting of my petition if it be the Divine Will.  Amen.
