PRAYER OF THE DAY

Novena to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Immaculate Heart of Mary,
full of love for God and mankind,
and of compassion for sinners,
I consecrate myself entirely to you.
I entrust to you the salvation of my soul.
May my heart be ever united with yours,
so that I may hate sin,
love God and my neighbor,
and reach eternal life together with those whom I love.

Mediatrix of All Graces and Mother of Mercy,
remember the infinite treasure which your Divine Son has merited
by His suffering and which he has confided to you for us, your children.
Filled with confidence in your motherly heart,
and for the sake of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
obtain for me the favor I ask: [Mention your request here].

Dearest Mother,
if what I ask for should not be according to God's will,
pray that I may receive that which will be of greater benefit to my soul.
May I experience the kindness of your intercession with Jesus
during life and at the hour of my death?

Amen.
