Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe

Opening prayer:

Most Blessed Virgin of Guadalupe, Mother of the true God and our tender Mother, I place this novena in your hands. Intercede for me before your Son, Jesus Christ, and help me to welcome His will with faith, humility, and trust. Amen.

Day 7: Mother of the vulnerable

In the Guadalupe image, Mary appears as a mother carrying new life. She teaches us to defend the dignity of every human person, especially the poor, the unborn, and those forgotten by society.

Today's intention:

For respect for life from conception to natural death.

Pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.

Our Father

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Pater noster, qui es in cælis,

sanctificétur nomen tuum.

Advéniat regnum tuum.

Fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.

Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie,

et dimítte nobis débita nostra,

sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris.

Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem,

sed líbera nos a malo.

Amen.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Ave María, grátia plena, Dóminus tecum.

Benedícta tu in muliéribus,

et benedíctus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.

Sancta María, Mater Dei,

ora pro nobis peccatóribus,

nunc et in hora mortis nostræ.

Amen.

Glory Be

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper,

et in sǽcula sæculórum.

Amen.

Closing prayer:

Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of the Americas, pray for us. Protect our families, defend the vulnerable, strengthen the Church, and lead all peoples to your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Sign of the Cross

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

In nómine Patris, et Fílii, et Spíritus Sancti. Amen.

About this prayer

A nine-day novena honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe, entrusting the Church, families, and all the peoples of the Americas to Mary's maternal intercession.

History

In December 1531, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared on Tepeyac Hill near Mexico City to Saint Juan Diego, identifying herself as the Mother of the true God. She asked that a chapel be built and left a miraculous sign: her image imprinted on Juan Diego's tilma. Under the title of Our Lady of Guadalupe, she is venerated as Patroness of the Americas and a mother of consolation, conversion, and hope.

How to pray it

Pray once each day for nine consecutive days. Begin with the Sign of the Cross and the opening prayer, meditate on the theme of the day, offer the intention, and conclude with an Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, and the closing prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe.
