OPENING PRAYERS (every day)
My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You. Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly, and I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference with which He Himself is offended. And, through the infinite merits of His most Sacred Heart, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the conversion of poor sinners.

Novena to Our Lady Queen of Peace

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.

Novena to Mary, Mother of God

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.

Novena to Mary, Mother of God

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… 

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.

Novena for the Immaculate Conception

The Novena for 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.

I thank Thee for the patience which Thou hast endured me. My God, I love Thee above all things and I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee because Thou art infinite goodness. I would rather die than offend Thee again. Grant me the grace of perseverance; have pity on me, and at the same time on those Blessed Souls suffering in Purgatory. O Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession. 


Day 2

Second Day – Meditation    [Pray Video for Day 2]
The second pain which causes these Holy Souls much suffering is the time lost in life when they might have gained merits for Heaven; and the thought that they were unable to repair this loss, because the time of life and merit is passed.

Second Day – Prayer
Woe to me, unhappy being, so many years have I already spent on earth and have earned naught but Hell! I give Thee thanks, O Lord, for granting me time even now to atone for my sins. My good God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee. Send me Thy assistance that I may apply the time yet remaining to me for Thy love and service; have compassion on me, and, at the same time, on the Holy Souls suffering in Purgatory. O Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession. 


Day 3

Third Day – Meditation    [Prayer Video for Day 3]
Another great pain of the Holy Souls is caused by the hideous vision of their guilt, for which they now suffer. In this life the hideousness of sin is not seen as in the life to come; and this is one of the greatest sufferings in Purgatory.

Third Day – Prayer
O my God! because Thou art infinite goodness, I love Thee above all things, and repent with my whole heart of my offenses against Thee. Grant me the grace of holy perseverance. Have  compassion on me, and, at the same time, on the Holy Souls suffering in Purgatory. O Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession. 


Day 4

Fourth Day – Meditation     [Pray video for Day 4]
The pain that afflicts these Holy Souls most, the spouses of Jesus, is the thought of having, during life, by their sins, displeased God, Whom they so ardently love. Some penitents have felt so much pain and sorrow in thinking of their offenses, that they died of grief. The Souls in Purgatory understand far better than we do the claim that God has to our love; they love Him with all their strength. Hence, at the thought of having offended Him during life, they experience pain that surpasses all other pain.

Fourth Day – Prayer
O my God! because Thou art infinite goodness, I am sorry with my whole heart for having  offended Thee. I would rather die than ever offend Thee again. Give me holy perseverance; have pity on me, and have pity on those Holy Souls that burn in the cleansing fire and who love Thee with all their hearts. O Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession. 


Day 5

Fifth Day – Meditation     [Pray video for Day 5]
Another great suffering of these Holy Souls is their ignorance of the hour of their deliverance from Purgatory. Though they are certain of being released one day,  the uncertainty of the hour of when their Purgatorial term will end gives them great pain.

Fifth Day – Prayer
Woe to me, miserable being, if Thou, O Lord, shall cast me into eternal Hell; for from that dungeon of eternal pain there is no deliverance. I love Thee above all things, O infinite God, and I am sincerely sorry for having ever offended Thee. Grant me the grace of holy perseverance. Have compassion on me, and, at the same time on the Holy Souls suffering in Purgatory. O Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession. 


Day 6

Sixth Day – Meditation     [Prayer video for Day 6]
The Holy Souls are, indeed, comforted by the recollection of the Passion of Jesus Christ, and the Holy Sacrament of the Altar, since they know they are saved by the Passion of Jesus Christ, and have received, and still receive, so much consolation from Holy Masses and Holy  Communions. Nevertheless, they are greatly pained by the recollection of their ingratitude for these two great gifts of the love of Jesus Christ.

Sixth Day – Prayer
O my Divine Redeemer, Thou didst die for me on the Cross and hast so often united Thyself with me in Holy Communion, and I have repaid Thee only with ingratitude. Now, however, I love Thee above all things, O supreme God; and I am more grieved at my offenses against Thee than at any other evil. I would rather die than offend Thee again. Grant me the grace of holy perseverance. Have compassion on me, and, at the same time, on the Holy Souls suffering in Purgatory. O Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession. 


Day 7

Seventh Day – Meditation     [Prayer video for Day 7]
A further great sorrow of these Holy Souls consists in their ardent desire for the Beatific Vision. Slowly and painfully the moments of their Purgatorial imprisonment pass by; for they love God deeply, and desire to be delivered from their sad state in order to praise Him forever.

Seventh Day – Prayer
O God, Father of Mercy, satisfy this, their ardent desire! Send them Thy holy Angel to announce to them that Thou, their Father, art now reconciled with them through the suffering and death of Jesus, and that the moment of their deliverance has arrived.  O Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession. 


Day 8

Eighth Day – Meditation     [Prayer video for Day 8]
Another bitter sorrow of these Souls is caused by their reflection that God had bestowed upon them so many graces not granted to others, and that they compelled Him, by their sins, to condemn them to these sufferings. They had deserved Hell, but were pardoned and saved only by the mercy of God.

Eighth Day – Prayer
O my God! I also am one of these ungrateful beings, having received so many graces, and yet despised Thy love; and deserve to be cast by Thee into Hell. But Thy infinite goodness has spared me until now. Therefore, I now love Thee above all things, and I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee. Grant me the grace of holy perseverance. Have compassion on me, and, at the same time, on the Holy Souls suffering in Purgatory. O Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession. 


Day 9

Ninth Day – Meditation     [Prayer video for Day 9]
Great are all the sufferings of the Holy Souls in Purgatory: the fire, the grief, the darkness; the uncertainty of the time of their deliverance from prison. but the greatest of all these sorrows is this: that these Holy Souls are separated from their Divine Spouse, and deprived of His Beatific Vision.

Ninth Day – Prayer
O my God! how was it possible that I, for so many years, have borne tranquilly the separation from Thee and Thy holy grace! Henceforth, I shall love Thee above all things. I am deeply sorry for having offended Thee. Grant me the grace of holy perseverance, and do not permit that I should ever again fall into sin. Have compassion on the Holy Souls suffering in Purgatory. I pray Thee, moderate these sufferings; shorten the time of their misery; call them soon unto Thee in Heaven, that they may behold Thee face to face, and forever love Thee. O Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession. And pray for us also who are still in danger of eternal damnation.


Closing Prayers

On Thy Spouses have compassion, on these suffering children Thine; Make these Holy Souls partakers of Thy happiness Divine.

Out of the Depths Prayer (De Profundis)
(Carries a partial indulgence)
Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive to my voice in supplication: If you, O Lord, mark iniquities, Lord, who can stand? But with You is forgiveness, that You may be revered. I trust in the Lord; my soul trusts in His word. My soul waits for the Lord, more than sentinels wait for the dawn. More than sentinels wait for the dawn, let Israel wait for the Lord; For with the Lord is kindness and with Him is plenteous redemption; And He will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.

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.
