Novena To Blessed Alexandrina Maria da Costa (October 4 - October 13)
Repeat the following Novena prayers every day for 9 consecutive days.
O Jesus, who are pleased with simple and humble persons,
who are so often ignored,
forgotten and despised by men,
raise to the glory of Your altars Your humble Servant Alexandrina,
who always desired to live hidden from the world
and aloof from its vanities and praises.
You well know, Lord Jesus,
how in our times there is need of lessons in holiness,
which is the true fulfilment of every human
and Christian vocation and, consequently,
the elevation of a creature to the supreme height of moral beauty.
Invest then, O Jesus,
Your Servant with the immortal halo of glory and hear our prayers,
which we through her intercession offer to You;
especially grant us the favour which we ask
(Mention your petition here...)
if it be for the honour of Your Blessed Name,
the glory of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
and the salvation of sinners,
on whose behalf the pious Alexandrina
so wholly and generously offered herself a victim.
Amen.
