EVERYDAY NOVENA PRAYERS

Sign of the Cross Act of Contrition

My Lord, Jesus Christ, true God and true man, in whom I

believe, in whom I hope, in whom I love above all things, I am deeply sorry for having offended You, because you are the infinite goodness. And thru the powerful intercession

of the Blessed Mother, the Holy Virgin Mary, whom I would like to honour all the days of my life, but most par-

ticularly during this novena which I dedicate to the glory of her most holy name, I promise never more to offend You

with the help of Your divine grace, AMEN.

"Ina nin Kabikolan"(Mother of Bicolandia) Ika an nagdadara kan kaboronyogan Sa samong rona, bilog na kabikolan. Ika an kosog, ika an parasorog, an paalawan. Kami, simong banwaang inataman, abang hamis kan pag-atang. Sa kaogmahan, asin man kamondoan, Simo kami minaarang... Poon sa sirangan, ilaw ka magin man sa solnopan. Saen man magduman, ika'n rinorokyaw, Daing ibang sambit, ika. An kasalogan, awit an saimong kaomawan. An kabuludan, ika'n rinorokyaw. Binabantog an kamorawayan. O, Inang namomotan, balaog na banal, O, Reina nin kalangitan, magdanay ka. Omawon ka Virgen de Penafrancia! O, mahal niamong Ina, bilog ming boot, danay ming itatao. Ika samong rinorokyaw, O, Ina nin kabikolan. Samong Inang namomotan, Samong balaog na banal, Sagkod pa man. (An kasalogan....) Sagkod pa man..

Prayer O most lovable Queen and Mother Mary, whose sweet

name gladdens the heavens, consoles the earth and daunts hell! O peerless greatness granted to You by Him

who is omnipotent, that all might share in the benefits of the plenitude, namely: the sick their cure; the sorrowful their consolation; the sinners their forgiveness; the an-

gels their joy; and the blessed Trinity untold glory! I have recourse in this novena to you as Armour of my defence,

as a medicine for my health, as a consolation for my grief, as an effective relief for my burdens, as help unto

the remission of my sins and as a universal remedy for all my need. Therefore I beseech You time and again and

frequently repeat these sweet words:




May I deserve from your mercy and benevolence a par-ticipation in the benign influence of your name and may I become one of your most faithful children, so that living always under this precious protection, may I be granted the special intention of this novena, if it be for the great-er honour and glory of God and the salvation of my soul. AMEN.

Concluding Prayer for the 9th Day

O most lovable Queen and Mother, Mary, whose most sweet name gladdens the heart and consoles the soul in

all tribulations, I humbly beseech you, O Virgin of Peňafrancia, to instil in those of us who venerate your sa-cred name which means “hope”, this important theologi-cal virtue with which we may strengthen our spirit amidst

the innumerable perils in which we live. As strangers in this vale of tears and deprived still of the clear vision of our God and Creator, and confiding in the power of our

Lord for whom nothing is impossible in this life, we hope to refrain the impulses of our passions and tread peace-

fully the path that leads to eternal life, that thus, through piety and devotion, we may attain, after conquering our enemies, the beatitude for which we were created and

wherein we shall live eternally grateful to you, to your all powerful intercession. AMEN.


FAREWELL PRAYER ON THE LAST DAY

BEFORE THE VIRGIN DEPARTS O Beloved Mother, the time has come for your departure from our home, your home also for the nine days of your

stay with us. Our lips cannot express the joy overflowing in our hearts, inspired by your love. Blessed Mother Mary,

you desired to be with us even for while. Thank you, Mother, thank you. Come back some other day. We will wait for you with profound ardour. Upon your de-

parture, take with you our hearts,. Take with you our love. Never allow us to forget you nor to stay away from your

care. Now & forever. Amen. 12

es I need to lead a peaceful life and to spend my day in charitable deeds. Deeply obliged to God for those bless-ings, may I not use them foolishly in loathsome vanities

O most patient and dolorous Mary, I humbly beseech you, O Virgin of Peňafrancia, that as it was amidst such bitter-

ness and on the recommendation of Jesus that you willing-ly adopted us, though sinners, as your sons in the person

of John. May your sweet name be so impressed in my heart, as a keepsake of your woes on the summit of Calva-

ry, that I may from time to time think of the high price paid for my redemption and that I may appreciate it deep-ly, seeing to it that the fruits are not spoiled by my vices. Grant finally that the memory of your sorrows and those of your Holy Son, may give me strength and fortitude to carry willingly the cross the cross of this life that I may

afterwards attain felicity and beatitude in the other. AMEN. Virgin of Peňafrancia, pray for us


O most perfect Queen and Mother Mary, I humbly be-seech you, O Virgin of Peňafrancia, to make me faithful im-itator of our merciful Lord, who makes the sun rise for the good and the wicked, who makes the rain falls for the just and unjust, who does good even to those who do Him evil,

that we may likewise tolerate the wrongs of our fellow-men, that we may bear patiently their offenses, wishing them the salvation of their souls, that the Lord may also

have compassion on me, forgiving my sins and leading me on the way to eternity where I may bless and enjoy Him

forever. AMEN Virgin of Peňafrancia, pray for us

Concluding Prayer for the 1st Day

O sovereign Queen and Mother, Mary, I humbly beseech You, to give me light and knowledge of the noble origin of my soul whose only Creator and Father is God himself, who made it fully capable to enjoy the essence of the Holy Trini-ty. Make my soul restless amidst the earthly things until it possesses the infinite goodness. Help me, Virgin of Peňafrancia, Queen and Mistress, that I may not degenerate from such a noble and sublime origin nor may I tarnish with ingratitude the honour of having a soul like unto God, but on the contrary, that with a generous spirit I may live so as to enjoy the possession of my God and Lord. AMEN.


Concluding Prayer for the 2nd Day

Most wise Queen and Mother Mary, I humbly beseech you, oh Virgin of Peňafrancia, in your plenitude, have mercy on my ignorance, a consequence of original sin, which allows us to commit errors and to lose the clear insight into our perfections. Grant me enlightenment by your grace in the election of the state of life that I should take, that I may, without odds and difficulties, attain the ultimate end for which I ought to offer all the things of this life: the eternal beatitude, where I may bless and enjoy God for all eternity. AMEN.

Concluding Prayer for the 3rd Day

O most fortunate Lady and Blessed Creature Mary, whose most sweet name is, interpreted “God from my lineage”! Through the intercession of your sub-

lime name, I humbly beseech you O Virgin of Peňafrancia, to instil in me deep gratitude towards

God for the privilege granted to us mortals to become brethren of our Lord and God, who created us to

make us live faithful to the Maker of such great mys-teries and favours. AMEN.



O most benign Mother Mary, whose most sweet name means “Star of the sea”, You are the most se-

cure refuge of our souls amidst the tempestuous sea of life until we anchor to the shore of glory. I humbly beseech you, O Virgin of Peňafrancia, through the in-

tercession of your holy name, protect me from the many pitfalls and abysses of temptations that sur-

round me and that I seek to deviate my steps to the path that leads to heaven. Through the intercession of your holy name, protect me from precipices to-

wards which my passions blindly grope and as a lumi-nous star be my guide that I may not err in such an important voyage towards the eternity that awaits

me that I may finally have the pleasure of seeing You in the eternal glory. AMEN.
