Novena to the Nativity of the Most Holy Virgin Mary
INITIAL PRAYER
O most Holy Mary! Chosen and destined ab eterno by the most august Trinity to be Mother of the Only-begotten Son of the Father, announced by the Prophets, awaited by the Patriarchs, and desired by all people; living sanctuary and temple of the Holy Spirit, sun without stain, because you were conceived without original sin; Queen of Heaven and earth, Queen of the Angels: we, humbly prostrated before you, we venerate you, and are overjoyed before the solemn yearly commemoration of your most joyful Nativity; and in the most ntimate recesses of our hearts we plead that you deem it good to come and be born spiritually in our souls so that, in them, captivated by your lovingness and sweetness, they live always united to your most sweet and loving Heart.
DAY I
Now, with nine distinct salutations we will contemplate the nine months that you were enclosed in the maternal womb; proclaiming that native of the Royal lineage of David, you came with great honor to be birthed from the entrains of Saint Anne, your most fortunate mother. Avemara
DAY II
We salute you, O Celestial Child, most candid dove of purity who, to spite the infernal dragon were conceived without original sin. Avemara
DAY III
We greet you, O most brilliant Aurora who, as a precursor of the Sun of Justice, brought the first Light to the world. Avemara
DAY IV
We salute you, O Chosen one who, as a Sun without any stain, emerged in the most tenebrous night of sin. Avemara
DAY V
We greet you, O most beautiful moon, who illuminated the world surrounded in the most dense fogs of paganism. Avemara
DAY VI
We salute you unto a forced warrier who, alone, in the likeness of a numerous army, put into flight all of hell. Avemara
DAY VII
We greet you, O beautiful soul of Mary, whom God has possessed for all eternity. Avemara
DAY VIII
We salute you, O beloved Child, and we venerate your most holy little body, the sacred diapers in which you were swaddled, and the sacred cradle in which you reposed, and we bless the point and moment in which you were born. Avemara
DAY IX
Finally, we greet you, O beloved Child as adorned with all the virtues, in a inmensely most elevated degree than all the other Saints and that, having been made the worthy Mother of our Savior, and having conceived by virtue of the Holy Spirit, you gave birth to the Incarnate Word. Avemara
FINAL PRAYER
O most grandiose Child! You who with your most happy birth have consoled the world, made Heaven joyful and terrified hell; have given assistance to the fallen, consolation to the sad, health to the sick and happiness to all. I plead to you with my most fervent affections that you rebirth spiritually, with your holy love, our souls. Renew our spirit so that we may serve you. Inflame once again our heart so that we love you; and make blossom in us those virtues with which we may always be more agreeable to your thrice most benign eyes. O Mary! Be Mary for us always, making us experience the healthy effects of your most sweetest Name; may the invocation of your Name be our relief in our labors, our hope in our dangers, our shield in our temptations, our breath in our death. May the Name of Mary be like honey in our mouths, melody in our ears, and bliss in our hearts. So be it.
