Our Lady of Perpetual Helpis a revered title of the Virgin Mary. She is a source of maternal care and love; bringing comfort, intercession, and hope for those who turn to her in times of distress. Many seek her assistance and find solace in her perpetual help and guidance.
Dear Mother of Perpetual Help, from the Cross, Jesus gave you to us as our mother. You are the kindest, the most loving of all mothers. Look tenderly on us, your children, as we now ask you to help us in all our needs, especially this one . . . (mention your petition).
While you were on earth, dear Mother, you willingly shared in the sufferings of your Son. Strengthened by your faith and confidence in the fatherly love of God, you accepted the mysterious designs of His Will.
We, too, have our crosses and trials. Sometimes they almost crush us to the ground. Dearest Mother, share with us your abundant faith and confidence in God. Make us aware that God never ceases to love us; that He answers all our prayers in the way that is best for us.
Strengthen our hearts to carry the cross in the footsteps of your Divine Son. Help us to realize that he who shares the cross of Christ will certainly share in His Resurrection.
Dearest Mother, as we worry about our own problems, let us not forget the needs of others. While praying for our own intentions, and for the intentions of all who make your novena, we earnestly ask you, our mother, to help us comfort the sick and the dying, give hope to the poor and the unemployed, heal the broken-hearted, lighten the burden of the oppressed, teach justice to their oppressors and bring back to God all those who have offended Him. Dearest Mother, help us to avoid sin, which separates us from our Heavenly Father. Full of trust in you, we place ourselves under the mantle of your maternal protection and confidently hope for your powerful help. Amen.
The Novena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a nine-day period of prayer and devotion dedicated to seeking the intercession and guidance of the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The Virgin Mary appeared to Simon Stock on July 16, 1251 and presented him with the Brown Scapular, a small piece of cloth worn over the shoulders. She promised that those who faithfully wore the scapular and lived a life of devotion would receive her special protection and intercession.
O most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, splendor of heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God and Mother of mine, support me by your never failing love and help and protect me. Show me that you are my Mother.
May I, unworthy as I am, come one day to exchange your scapular that I had the privilege to wear for the wedding garment of heaven, and dwell with you and all the saints of Carmel in the kingdom of your Son.
(Here make your petition: Let us also pray for those preparing to make their vows.)
Sweet Mother, I place this cause in your loving hands.
O Mary, my Mother, I consecrate myself to you forever. I offer you my body with all its miseries, my soul with all its imperfections, and my heart with all its affections and desires. I offer you all my prayers, works, joys and sufferings, my struggles and especially my death with all that it will entail. I unite all of these, Mother, with your own joys and sufferings. Amen.
The Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe is a petition prayer that is typically prayed during the nine consecutive days leading up to the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12; although it can be prayed anytime of the year.
Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared miraculously on the cloak of St. Juan Diego in Mexico in 1531, leaving her sacred image as a pregnant indigenous woman that became instrumental in the evangelization of Latin America. Today, she is a beloved symbol of Catholicism in Mexico and beyond, representing unity, compassion, comfort, and liberation. Her feast day on December 12th, marking the anniversary of her appearance, draws millions of pilgrims to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. Devotion to her involves veneration of the miraculous tilma relic, recitation of the Guadalupe novena, spreading the story of her apparition, and building faith in her powerful intercession. She is seen as the Mother of all in the Americas who leads souls to Christ.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, according to thy message in Mexico I venerate thee as the Virgin Mother of the true God for whom we live, the Creator of all the world, Maker of Heaven and earth. In spirit I kneel before thy most holy image which thou didst miraculously imprint upon the cloak of the humble and obedient Indian Juan Diego, and with the faith of the countless numbers of pilgrims who visit thy shrine, I beg thee for this favor:
[Mention your request]
Remember, O Immaculate Virgin, the words thou hast spoken to thy devout and humble, yet hesitant client: “I am a merciful mother to thee and to all thy people who love me and trust in me and invoke my help. I listen to their lamentations and solace all their sorrows and sufferings.” I beg thee to be a merciful mother to me, because I sincerely love thee and trust in thee and invoke thy help. I entreat thee, our Lady of Guadalupe, to grant my request, if this should be the will of God, in order that I may bear witness to thy love, thy compassion, thy help and protection. Do not forsake me in my needs.
Recite the Hail Mary prayer three times, saying the following after each Hail Mary:
Devotion to Our Lady of Good Remedy is particularly recommended to anyone who is “enslaved” in any kind of darkness, such as poverty, chronic illness, disability, abusive relationships, or mental illness. It is also recommended to those who are caught in desperate situations of many different kinds: distress, hardship, fear, anger, confusion, spiritual dryness, and/or any other form of darkness that one feels enslaved to.
O QUEEN OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, Most Holy Virgin, we venerate thee. Thou art the beloved Daughter of the Most High God, the chosen Mother of the Incarnate Word, the Immaculate Spouse of the Holy Spirit, and the Sacred Vessel of the Most Holy Trinity.
O Mother of the Divine Redeemer, who under the title of Our Lady of Good Remedy, comes to the aid of all who call upon thee, extend thy maternal protection to us. We depend on thee, Dear Mother, as helpless and needy children depend on a tender and caring mother.

The Novena to Our Lady Queen of Peace – The title “Queen of Peace” is given to Mary because she is the mother of Jesus, the “Prince of Peace,” who reconciled Heaven and Earth. Mary stood at the foot of the cross, where Christ merited peace for the whole world, and she continues to intercede with her Son to obtain for us the spirit of love, unity, and reconciliation. In 1917, during the turmoil of World War I, Pope Benedict XV added the invocation “Queen of Peace” to the Litany of Loreto. Our Lady is often depicted under this title holding the Child Jesus on her lap while bearing an olive branch, a symbol of peace.
Through this novena to Our Lady Queen of Peace, we ask Our Lady to intercede for peace in our hearts, in our families, in our communities, and throughout the world.

The “Novena to Mary, Mother of God” honors Our Lady under her most ancient title—Theotokos, the God-Bearer—proclaimed at the Council of Ephesus to safeguard the truth that Mary bore not just a human child, but the Second Person of the Trinity made flesh. This powerful nine-day devotion acknowledges Mary as Queen of the Universe, throne of grace, and refuge of sinners who continues to intercede for her children with maternal love and divine authority.
Traditionally prayed during the nine days before January 1st (the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God), this novena can be prayed throughout the year when seeking Mary’s protection, facing difficult decisions, interceding for conversions, or deepening one’s relationship with Jesus through His Mother.
I greet you, ever-blessed Virgin, Mother of God, throne of grace, miracle of almighty power! I greet you, sanctuary of the Most Holy Trinity and Queen of the Universe, Mother of mercy, and refuge of sinners!
Most loving Mother, attracted by your beauty, sweetness, and tender compassion, I confidently turn to you, miserable as I am, and beg you to obtain for me from your dear Son the favor I request in this novena…
(Mention your request).
Obtain for me also, Queen of Heaven, the most lively contrition for my many sins and the grace to closely imitate those virtues which you practiced so faithfully, especially humility, purity, and obedience.
Do not reject my petitions, Mother of Mercy! Have pity on me, and do not abandon me during my life or at the moment of my death.
Pray for me. I devote myself forever to your service and offer you my heart along with all that I am and all that is mine. Receive me into the number of your devoted children, and guide me from your high throne of glory. Amen.
The Novenafor the Immaculate Conception is traditionally prayed during the nine days preceding the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (December 8th), the feast day honoring the conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The novena begins on November 29th and continues to December 7th.
The Immaculate Conception refers to the moment when the Virgin Mary was conceived in her mother St. Anne’s womb, completely free from original sin. From the very first instant of her existence, Mary was preserved pure and spotless by a special grace from God, preparing her to become the Mother of Jesus Christ. This miraculous conception is celebrated by the Church on December 8th and was officially proclaimed as a truth of faith by Pope Pius IX in 1854.
O most Holy Virgin, who was pleasing to the Lord and became His mother, immaculate in body and spirit, in faith and in love, look kindly on us as we implore your powerful intercession.

(Make your request here).
Obtain for me also, Queen of heaven, the most lively contrition for my many sins and the grace to imitate closely those virtues which you practiced so faithfully, especially humility, purity and obedience. Above all, I beg you to be my Mother and Protectress, to receive me into the number of your devoted children, and to guide me from your high throne of glory. Do not reject my petitions, Mother of Mercy! Have pity on me, and do not abandon me during life or at the moment of my death. Amen.
The “Novena for Impossible Requests“ is a powerful novena that honors the nine months in which the Virgin Mary carried Jesus in her womb. The novena is prayed daily starting on March 25th (Feast of the Annunciation) and concluding on December 25th (Birth of Christ). Three petitions are generally requested to Mary for her intercession.
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us; and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
V – Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. R – That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Virgin of the Incarnation, a thousand times we greet thee, a thousand times we praise thee for thy joy when God was incarnated in thee. Because thou art so powerful a Virgin and Mother of God, grant what we ask of thee for the love of God.

CONCLUSION: Remember, O most Gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins, my mother. To thee do I cry, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Blessed and praised be the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar, in Heaven, on earth, and everywhere. Amen.
