Immaculate Mother, To you do we plead
To ask God, our Father, for help in our needs
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
We pray for our country, the land of our birth
We pray for all nations, that peace be on earth
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria. Ave, Ave Ave Maria.
Priest: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit.
All : Amen.
Priest : Brothers and sisters, as children of our blessed Mother,
we are gathered before her miraculous picture to honour
her and to pray for all our needs. Unworthy children that
we are, let us first of all asl God�s mercy and pardon.
All: Merciful Father, you sent your Divine Son, to redeem us by his death and
resurrection, and to give us new life. By this you make us your children,
to love one another in Christ. How many time in the past, we have forgotten
this sublime dignity. We have sinned against our brothers and sisters, we have
offended you, Merciful Father, forgive us. Repenting sincerely of our sins,
we ask your mercy, may we always live as your truly devoted children.
MARY IMMACULATE, STAR OF THE MORNING
Mary Immaculate, Star of the morning
Chosen before, the creation begun
Destined to bring.through the light of your dawning
Conquest of Satan and rescue to man.
Refrain : Bend from your throne at the voice of our crying
Look to this earth where your footsteps have trod
Stretch out your arms to us living and dyings
Mary Immaculate, Mother of God
We sinners honour your sinless perfection
Fallen and weak, for God�s mercy we plead
Grant us the shield of your mighty protection
Measure your aid, by the deep of our need

sist at Mass on Novena days.Those unable to go to church
because of sickness or the like, may pray the Novena at

Dear Mother of Perpetual Help, from the cross gave to us for our Mother, You are the kindest,
the most loving of all mothers. Look tenderly on us your your children, as we now ask you to help
us in all our needs, especially this one (PAUSE TO RECALL YOUR PETITON)
While you were in earth dear Mother, you willingly shared in the sufferings of your son. Strengthened by our faith and confidence in the fatherly love of God you accepted the mysterious
designs of His Will.
We too have crosses and trials. Sometimes they almost crash us to the ground. Dearest Mother,
share us your abundant faith and confidence in God. Make us aware that God never ceases to love
us, that He answer all our prayers in the way that is best for us. Strengthen our hearts to carry our
cross, in the footsteps of your Divine Son. Help us to realize that he who shares the cross of Christ
will certainly share his resurrection.
Dearest Mother, as we worry about our own problems, let us not forget the needs of others.
You always loved others so much, help us to do the same. While praying for our intentions of all
here present at this Novena, we earnestly ask you our Mother, to help us comfort the sick and the
dying, give hope to the poor and unemployed, heal the brokenhearted, 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 and from one
another. Full of trust in you, we place ourselves under the maternal protection and confidently
hope for your powerful help. AMEN
