The document contains several prayers and passages about Mary, the mother of Jesus. The key points are: 1) Mary is praised for attaining the dignity of motherhood while remaining a virgin, and she is called upon to intercede for believers as their mother. 2) Reciting prayers to Mary such as the Hail Mary is encouraged, as she is believed to bring petitions to Jesus and obtain favors and graces. 3) Mary is called the Mother of Mercy and the comforter of the afflicted, and prayers ask for her intercession and protection.

1. "If you ever feel distressed during your day — call upon our Lady - just
say this simple prayer: 'Mary, Mother of Jesus, please be a mother to
me now.' I must admit — this prayer has never failed me.”
~Blessed Mother Teresa

2. LET us, then, rejoice in Mary’s
coming. Let us hail the birth of her
who attained the dignity of mother
without losing the high privilege of a
virgin.
Let us imitate her holy life, that she
may become our intercessor before
the throne of her Son, our judge and
redeemer. By becoming the Mother of
God she became also our Mother. As
Mother of the Redeemer she is also
the Mother of the redeemed.
Richard of St. Lawrence writes: “If we
desire grace and help, let us have
recourse to Mary and we shall obtain
what we desire.”
For, as St. Alphonsus remarks: “All
graces and gifts which God has
resolved to bestow upon us He gives
us through the hands of Mary.”

3. Hail Mary, full of grace, the
Lord is with thee; blessed are
thou among women, and
blessed is the fruit of thy
womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of
God, pray for us sinners, now
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

4. Hail, holy Queen, Mother of
Mercy, Our life, our sweetness and
our hope. To thee do we cry, poor
banished children of Eve, To thee
do we send up our sighs, Mourning
and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious
Advocate, thine eyes of mercy
toward us, And after this our
exile, show unto us the blessed
fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet
Virgin Mary!
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of
God, That we may be made worthy
of the promises of Christ.
Amen.

5. O Most Blessed Mother, heart of
love, heart of mercy, ever
listening, caring, consoling, hear our

Receive with understanding and
compassion the petitions we place
before you today, especially ...(special
intention).
We are comforted in knowing your
heart is ever open to those who ask for
your prayer. We trust to your gentle care
and intercession, those whom we love
and who are sick or lonely or hurting.
Help all of us, Holy Mother, to bear our
burdens in this life until we may share
eternal life and peace with God forever.
Amen.

O God, who, through the

Jesus Christ,
Didst vouchsafe to fill the world
with joy; grant, we beseech
Thee, that, through His Virgin
Mother, Mary,
We may lay hold on the joys of
everlasting life. Through the same
Christ our Lord.
Amen.

8. O Most Holy Virgin! You were chosen by the most
adorable Trinity from all eternity to be the most pure
Mother of Jesus. O Tender Mother of the
afflicted, grant me under my present necessities a
special protection. Relying upon the infinite mercies
of your Divine Son, and penetrated with confidence
in your powerful prayers, I humbly entreat you to
intercede for me. I beg you to obtain for me the
favors, which I petition for in this novena.

O Mother of God, accept my salutations in union
with the respect with which the angel Gabriel first

obtain for me the favors and graces, which I have now
implored through your powerful intercession. For
this end I offer you the good works I do and
sufferings I endure. I humbly entreat you for the love

Wherefore, good Mother, as I am
thine own, keep me, guard me as

10. Most Glorious Virgin, you were
chosen by the eternal Counsel to be
the Mother of the Eternal Word
made flesh. You are the treasurer of
divine graces and the advocate of
sinners. I who am your most
unworthy servant have recourse to
thee. Graciously be my guide and
counselor in this valley of tears.
Obtain for me, through the Precious
Blood of your Divine Son, the
forgiveness of my sins, the salvation
of my soul, and the means necessary
to obtain it. In like manner, obtain
for the Holy Church victory over Her
enemies and the spread of Jesus'
kingdom over the whole earth.

11. Holy Virgin Mary,
you are reigning in glory,
with Jesus, your Son.
Remember us in our sadness.
Look kindly on all who are suffering
or fighting against any difficulty.
Have pity on those who are separated from
someone they love.
Have pity on the loneliness of our hearts.
Have pity on the weakness of our faith and love.
Have pity on those who are weeping, on those who
are praying, on those who are fearful.
Holy Mother, please obtain for all of us hope and
peace with justice.
Amen.

patronage, O holy
Mother of God. Despise
not our petitions in our
necessities, and deliver
us from all dangers, O
ever glorious and
blessed Virgin!

refuge of sinners,

Conception,
the grace of never going astray
again.
Mother, keep me, a sinner,
constantly bathed in the light of
your Immaculate Heart.
