Novena Prayer to Our Mother of Perpetual Help

Mother of Perpetual Help,

with the greatest confidence

we come before your holy picture

to be inspired by the example of your life.

We think of you at that moment when,

full of faith and trust,

you accepted God’s call

to be the mother of His Son.

Help us, your children,

to accept with joy our own calling in life.

When you learned that your cousin Elizabeth

was in need

you immediately went to serve her

and offer your help.

Help us, like you,

to be concerned for others.

We think of you, Mother,

at the foot of the cross.

Your heart must have bled

to see your Son in agony.

But your joy was great

when he rose from the dead,

victorious over the powers of evil.

Mother of Sorrows,

help us through the trials and

disappointments of life.

Help us not to lose heart.

May we share with you and your Son

the joy of having courageously faced up

to all the challenges of life.

Amen.
