A Great Novena

Since we put up the online form for sending petitions and thanksgivings to Our Mother of Perpetual Succour one week ago, there has been an absolute flood of letters coming in. Yesterday at the Perpetual Novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Succour, they were all offered together with our own to our Holy Mother. At the Novena, the petitions are read, if not marked private, and then the Fathers and Brothers of the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer offer them to Our Lady, under the great title of Perpetual Succour, and earnestly beseech her clemency for all those who have written to her, that she may deign to answer their petitions and cries for help.


The petitions are read before Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, Our Lady’s image and the community.


We implore Our Lord Jesus Christ and his Holy Mother to hear the prayers of their devoted servants.


The very great number of petitions and thanksgivings which came in over the last week. Keep it up! Remember that only good can come of it. No mother in the world desires to receive a letter from her child so much as Our Mother of Perpetual Succour. Write with humility and constancy, and she cannot fail to hear your pleas.

Remember O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known,
that anyone who fled to Thy protection,
implored Thine aid or sought Thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence I fly to Thee, O Virgin of virgins my Mother.
To Thee I come before Thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate despise not my petitions,
But in Thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen

  3. Would it be possible in a future post to include the other prayers of the perpetual novena? I recall the previous website had the prayers.
