Immaculate Virgin Mary, mother of our Lord Jesus and
our mother, we have confidence in your powerful and
never-failing intercession, manifested often through
the Miraculous Medal. We your loving and trustful
children ask you to obtain for us the graces and favors
we ask during this novena if they will be for the
glory of God and the salvation of souls

(Here privately form your petitions.)
You know, O Mary, how often our souls have been the
sanctuaries of your Son who hates iniquity. Obtain for us
then a deep hatred of sin and that purity of heart which will attach us to God alone so that our every thought, word, and deed may tend to his greater glory. Obtain for us also a spirit of prayer and self-denial that we may recover by penance what we have lost by sin and at length attain to that blessed abode where you are the queen of angels and of men.    Amen.
