Novena Prayers

O God our Father, we thank you for your care of each one of us. Thank you for sending your Son, Jesus, to share in our weak human nature. He suffered as we do, and He is gone before us to prepare a place for us in Heaven where we hope to be with you forever. He promised to be with us everyday, and to give us all we ask for in His name,

Father, in the name of Jesus we ask you: To give hope to those who have lost hope in God, and who simply don't know what to believe.
Let them Hope again

To give hope to the sick and all who
cannot live their lives as they would like to.
May they Receive Hope and Healing.

To give hope to parents and teachers who are entrusted with the care of the young.
May they never lose heart even when their best efforts meet with failure.

To give hope to sinners.
Bring them through repentance to a new way of looking at things.

To give hope to the bereaved who are face to face with death.
Let them entrust their loved ones to your care.

Your special intention for the Novena.

The intention of the day

Full us all with a joyful hope

Our Lady of Hope pray for us.

Hail Holy Queen …

Prayer said by Blessed Charles to Our Lady, Mother of Holy Hope

Most Holy Virgin Mary Oh, my Mother! How sweet it is to come to thy feet, imploring thy perpetual help!

If earthly mothers cease not to remember their children, how canst thou, the most loving of all mothers, forget me?

Grant then, to me, I implore thee, thy perpetual help in all my necessities, in every sorrow, and especially in all my temptations.

As we are all thy children, I ask for thy unceasing help for all who are now suffering. 

Help the weak, cure the sick, convert sinners, and console all earthly mothers who are now weeping over their children.

Open the gates of heaven to those we loved upon earth and who are now suffering in purgatory.

Obtain for us, dear Mother,that having earnestly invoked thee on earth, we may see thee, love thee, and eternally thank thee hereafter in heaven. Amen.

Mother of Holy Hope, pray for us.
