Last year's novena prayers are above, but for those who want something different here is the Franciscan Novena. Prayers are given in Latin and English (to keep everyone happy) NOVENA FOR THE FEAST OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION. Veni Sancte Spiritus, reple tuorum corda fidelium, et tui amoris in eis ignem accende. V. Emitte Spiritum tuum, et creabuntur. R. Et renovabis faciem terrae. Oremus. Deus, qui corda fidelium Sancti Spiritus illustratione docuisti: da nobis in eodem Spiritu recta sapere, et de ejus semper consolatione gaudere. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. R. Amen. TRANSLATION. Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful, and kindle in them the fire of Thy love. V. Send forth Thy Spirit, and they shall be created. R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth. Let us pray. O God, who hast taught the hearts of Thy faithful people by the light of the Holy Spirit; grant us in the same Spirit to relish what is right, and evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort. Through Christ our Lord. R. Amen. PREPARATORY PRAYER FOR EVERY DAY OF THE NOVENA. Virgin most pure, conceived without sin, all fair and stainless from thy Conception; glorious Mary, full of grace, Mother of my God, Queen of angels and of men, - I humbly venerate thee as Mother of my Saviour, who, though He was God, taught me by His own veneration, reverence, and obedience to thee, the honour and homage which are due to thee. Vouchsafe, I pray thee, to accept this Novena, which I dedicate to thee. Thou art the safe refuge of the penitent sinner; it is very fitting, then, that I should have recourse to thee. Thou art the Mother of compassion; then wilt thou surely be moved with pity for my many miseries. Thou art my best hope after Jesus; thou canst not but accept the loving confidence that I have in thee. Make me worthy to be called thy son, that so I may dare to cry unto thee, Monstra te esse matrem. Show thyself a mother. Nine Ave Maria’s, one Gloria Patri, and the following Prayer. PRAYER FOR THE FIRST DAY. Nov. 29. Behold me at thy sacred feet, O Immaculate Virgin. I rejoice with thee, because from all eternity thou wast elected to be the Mother of the Eternal Word, and wast preserved stainless from the taint of original sin. I praise and bless the Most Holy Trinity, who poured out upon thy soul in thy Conception the riches of that privilege. I humbly pray thee to obtain for me grace effectually to overcome the sad effects produced in my soul by original sin; make me wholly victorious over them, that I may never cease to love my God. Then say the Litanies of the Blessed Virgin, or V. Tota pulchra es, Maria. R. Tota pulchra es, Maria. V. Et macula originalis non est in te. R. Et macula originalis non est in te. V. Tu gloria Jerusalem. R. Tu laetitia Israel. V. Tu honorificentia populi nostri. R. Tu advocata peccatorum. V. O Maria. R. O Maria. V. Virgo prudentissima. R. Mater clementissima. V. Ora pro nobis. R. Intercede pro nobis ad Dominum Jesum Christum. After the Litanies, or Hymn as above, say as follows: V. In Conceptione tua, Virgo, immaculata fuisti. R. Ora pro nobis Patrem, cujus Filium peperisti. Oremus. Deus, qui per Immaculatam Virginis Conceptionem dignum Filii tui habitaculum preparasti: quaesumus, ut qui ex morte ejusdem Filii sui praevisa eam ab omni labe praeservasti, nos quoque mundos ejus intercessione ad te pervenire concedas. Dens omnium fidelium pastor et rector, famulum tuum N., quem pastorem Ecelesiae tuae praesse voluisti, propitius respice: da ei quaesumus, verbo et exemplo, quibus praeest, proficere, ut ad vitam una cum grege sibi credito perveniat sempiternam. Deus refugium nostrum et virtus, adesto piis Ecclesiae tuae precibus, auctor ipse pietatis; et praesta, ut quod fideliter petimus, efficaciter consequamur. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. R. Amen. TRANSLATION. V. All fair art thou, O Mary. R. All fair art thou, O Mary. V. The original stain is not in thee. R. The original stain is not in thee. V. Thou art the glory of Jerusalem. R. Thou art the joy of Israel. V. Thou art the honour of our people. R. Thou art the advocate of sinners. V. O Mary. R. O Mary. V. Virgin most prudent. R. Mother most clement. V. Pray for us. B. Intercede for us to our Lord Jesus Christ. V. In thy Conception, O Virgin, thou wast immaculate. R. Pray for us to the Father, whose Son was born of thee. Let us pray. O God, who through the Immaculate Conception of a Virgin didst prepare a worthy dwelling-place for Thy Son, we beseech Thee, who by the death of that Son, foreseen by Thee, didst preserve her from every stain of sin, to grant that by her intercession we also may be purified, and so may come to Thee. O God, the Shepherd and Ruler of all the faithful, graciously look down upon Thy servant N., whom Thou host chosen to be the pastor of Thy Church; and grant him, we beseech Thee, both by word and example, so to direct those over whom Thou hast placed him, that, together with the flock entrusted to his care, he may attain eternal life. O God, our refuge and strength, who art the author of all holiness, listen to the pious prayers of thy Church, and grant that what we ask in faith we may effectually obtain. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. The same order is to be observed en all the other days of the Novena, the Prayers for the Day alone being changed. |

PRAYER FOR THE SECOND DAY. Nov. 30. Mary, unsullied Lily of purity, I rejoice with thee, because from the first moment of thy Conception thou wast filled with grace, and hadst given unto thee the perfect use of reason. I thank and I adore the Ever-blessed Trinity, who gave thee these high gifts. Behold me at thy feet overwhelmed with shame to see myself so poor in grace. O thou who wast filled full of heavenly grace, grant me a portion of that same grace, and make me a partaker in the treasures of thy Immaculate Conception. Litanies, &c., as before. |

PRAYER FOR THE EIGHTH DAY. Dec. 6. Mary, Virgin, Sun without stain, I congratulate thee, and I rejoice with thee, because God gave unto thee in thy Conception a greater and a more abundant grace than He gave to all His angels and His saints together, even when their merits were most exalted. I thank and admire the immense beneficence of the Ever-blessed Trinity, who hath dispensed to thee alone this privilege. O, enable me too to correspond with the grace of God, and never more to receive it in vain; change my heart, and help me to begin in earnest a new life. Litanies, &c., as before. |

PRAYER FOR THE NINTH DAY. Dec. 7. Immaculate Mary, living Light of holiness, Model of purity, Virgin and Mother, as soon as thou wast conceived thou didst profoundly adore thy God, giving Him thanks, because by means of thee the ancient curse was blotted out, and blessing was again come upon the sinful sons of Adam. Let this blessing kindle in my heart love towards God; and do thou inflame my heart still more and more, that I may ever love Him more constantly, and afterwards eternally enjoy Him in heaven, there to thank and praise Him more and more fervently for all the wondrous privileges conferred on thee, and to rejoice with thee for thy high crown of glory. Litanies, &c., as before. |

According to the Catholic Encyclopaedia the feast of Our Lady, Help of Christians, was instituted by Pius VII. By order of Napoleon, Pius VII was arrested, 5 July, 1808, and detained a prisoner for three years at Savona, and then at Fontainebleau. In January, 1814, after the battle of Leipzig, he was brought back to Savona and set free, 17 March, on the eve of the feast of Our Lady of Mercy, the Patroness of Savona. The journey to Rome was a veritable triumphal march. The pontiff, attributing the victory of the Church after so much agony and distress to the Blessed Virgin, visited many of her sanctuaries on the way and crowned her images (e.g. the "Madonna del Monte" at Cesena, "della Misericordia" at Treja, "della Colonne" and "della Tempestà" at Tolentino). The people crowded the streets to catch a glimpse of the venerable pontiff who had so bravely withstood the threats of Napoleon. He entered Rome, 24 May, 1814, and was enthusiastically welcomed (McCaffrey, "History of the Catholic Church in the Nineteenth Cent.", 1909, I, 52). To commemorate his own sufferings and those of the Church during his exile he extended the feast of the Seven Dolours of Mary (third Sunday in September) to the universal Church, 18 Sept., 1814. When Napoleon left Elba and returned to Paris, Murat was about to march through the Papal States from Naples; Pius VII fled to Savona (22 March, 1815), where he crowned the image of Our Lady of Mercy, 10 May, 1815. After the Congress of Vienna and the battle of Waterloo he returned to Rome, 7 July, 1815. To give thanks to God and Our Lady he (15 Sept., 1815) instituted for the Papal States the feast of Our Lady, Help of Christians, to be celebrated, 24 May, the anniversary of his first return. The Dioceses of Tuscany adopted it, 12 Feb., 1816; it has spread nearly over the entire Latin Church, but is not contained in the universal calendar. The hymns of the Office were composed by Brandimarte (Chevalier, "Repert. Hymnolog.", II, 495). This feast is the patronal feast of Australasia, a double of the first class with an octave (Ordo Australasiae, 1888), and in accordance with a vow (1891) is celebrated with great splendour in the churches of the Fathers of the Foreign Missions of Paris. It has attained special celebrity since St. Don Bosco, founder of the Salesian Congregation, 9 June, 868, dedicated to Our Lady, Help of Christians, the mother church of his congregation at Turin. The Salesian Fathers have carried the devotion to their numerous establishments. ![]() The salesians who will celebrate the feast this year on 25 May, have a novena, downloadable in pdf format |
