Novena To Our Lady Of Montserrat (April 18 - April 27)

[This Novena is said on 9 consecutive days.]

Thou, O Lord, wilt open my lips,
And my tongue shall announce thy praise.
Incline unto my aid, O Lord,
O Lord, make haste to help me.

Glory be to the Father
and to the Son
and to the Holy Ghost:
As it was in the beginning,
is now and ever shall be,
world without end.

Amen.

Let us pray:

O God, Giver of all good things,
who didst choose Montserrat as a glorious Shrine
for the Mother of thy only begotten Son,
and through her intercession
there hast granted favours without number
to those who sought them there:
bow down thine ears now to our petitions
as we kneel and pray before Her image.
Thou Who livest and reignest forever and ever.

Amen.

NOVENA PRAYERS

My Lord Jesus Christ,
who has been pleased to give
into the hands of Thine Immaculate Mother Mary
distribution of the graces merited for us by thy Life,
Death and Resurrection;
and Who hast answered the recommendations
of Her Loving Heart by favours granted
to numberless saints and sinners
at Her Shrine of Montserrat;
listen, I beseech Thee to her pleadings on my behalf:
And do Thou, O Mother of Jesus
– Mine also –
present my plea before His Throne
for all the graces that I need,
but especially for the favour I now implore...

[Mention your intention(s) here...]

May His glory and the renown of Thy intercession
be everywhere known and extolled.

Amen.

Our Lady of Montserrat,
pray for us.
