novena prayer

“Virgin and Mother Mary,

you who, moved by the Spirit,

you welcomed the Word of life

in the depth of your humble faith,

totally surrendered to the Eternal,

help us to say our “yes”

before the urgency, more imperative than ever,

to resound the Good News of Jesus.

You, filled with the presence of Christ,

you brought joy to John the Baptist,

making him exult in his mother’s bosom.

You, trembling with joy,

you sang the wonders of the Lord.

You, who were planted before the cross

with unshakable faith

and you received the joyful consolation of the resurrection,

you gathered the disciples waiting for the Spirit

for the evangelizing Church to be born.

Get us now a new risen ardor

to bring to all the Gospel of life

that defeats death.

Give us the holy audacity to seek new paths

so that it reaches everyone

the gift of beauty that does not fade.

You, Virgin of listening and contemplation,

mother of love, wife of eternal weddings,

intercede for the Church, of which you are the most pure icon,

so that she never locks up or stops

in his passion to establish the Kingdom.

Star of the new evangelization,

help us to shine in the testimony of communion,

of service, of ardent and generous faith,

of justice and love for the poor,

so that the joy of the Gospel

reach the ends of the earth

and no periphery is deprived of its light.

Mother of the living Gospel,

source of joy for the little ones,

pray for us.

Amen! Hallelujah!”

-Pope Francis, 2013
