Novena To Our Lady Of Aparecida # 2 (Patroness of Brazil) (October 4 - October 12)

Repeat the following Novena prayers every day for 9 consecutive days.

Prayer of Pope John-Paul II

Lady Aparecida, a son of yours
who belongs to you unreservedly
called by the mysterious plan of Providence
to be the Vicar of your Son on earth,
wishes to address you at this moment.
He recalls with emotion,
because of the brown color of this image of yours,
another image of yours,
the Black Virgin of Jasna Gora.

Mother of God and our Mother,
protect the Church, the Pope,
the bishops, the priests
and all the faithful people;
welcome under your protecting mantle men
and women religious,
families, children, young people,
and their educations.

Health of the sick and Consoler of the afflicted,
comfort those who are suffering in body and soul;
be the light of those who are seeking Christ,
the Redeemer of all;
show all people that you are the Mother of our confidence.

Queen of Peace and Mirror of Justice,
obtain peace for the world,
ensure that Brazil and all countries
may have lasting peace,
that we will always live together
as brothers and sisters and as children of God.

Our Lady Aparecida,
bless all your sons and daughters
who pray and sing to you here and elsewhere.

Amen.

Say 3 Our Father...

On the First Day of the Novena ONLY.
(Act of Consecration - by Pope Francis I)

Mary Most Holy, by the merits of Our Lord Jesus Christ,
in your beloved image of Aparecida,
spread infinite favours over all Brazil.

I, unworthy to be counted among your sons and daughters
but full of desire to share in the blessings of your mercy,
lie prostrate at your feet.
To you I consecrate my intentions,
that they may ever dwell on the love that you merit;
to you I consecrate my tongue that it may ever praise you
and spread your devotion;
to you I consecrate my heart, that, after God,
I may love you above all things.

Receive me, incomparable Queen,
you whom Christ Crucified gave to us as Mother,
and count me among your blessed sons and daughters;
take me under your protection;
come to my aid in all my needs,
both spiritual and temporal,
and above all at the hour of my death.

Bless me, heavenly helper,
and through your powerful intercession,
give me strength in my weakness, so that,
by serving you faithfully in this life,
I may praise you, love you and give you thanks in heaven,
for all eternity.
Let it be!
