Novena to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Opening prayer:

O Immaculate Heart of Mary, pure refuge of sinners and gentle Mother of mercy, we come to you in trust. You who kept the word of God and pondered it in your heart, draw us into the warmth of your love. Teach us to belong wholly to Jesus through you. Amen.

Read the meditation and offer the intention of the day.

Day 5: The call of Fatima

At Fatima in 1917 Our Lady revealed her Immaculate Heart and asked for prayer, penance, and consecration. She made known that God wished to establish devotion to her heart in the world, and entrusted to the children the daily Rosary for peace. Her gentle request remains an invitation to peace through her maternal care. The Heart she showed, surrounded by thorns, still pleads with a world that has forgotten how to pray.

O Lady of Fatima, who revealed your Immaculate Heart and asked for prayer and penance, hear the cry of a troubled world. Help us to answer your call with the daily Rosary and a converted heart, that through your intercession peace may come at last. Amen.

Today's intention:

For the grace to answer Our Lady's call to prayer and penance.

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:

O Immaculate Heart of Mary, to you we consecrate ourselves and all that we are. Keep us close to your Son, guard us in the hour of temptation, and bring us safely home to heaven. Be our refuge now, and let your Immaculate Heart at last triumph in our souls. Amen.
