Novena to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal

Day 3: Mary, Refuge of Sinners

O merciful Mother, you never cease to intercede for those who have strayed from the path of grace. At the foot of the Cross, you received us all as your children, and your maternal heart yearns for the conversion of every sinner. No one who has sought your help has ever been left unaided. We entrust to you all who are far from God, that through your prayers they may find the way back to your Son's merciful Heart.

For the conversion of sinners and those who have fallen away from the faith.

Pray three Hail Marys.

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.

About this prayer

A nine-day novena honoring Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, based on the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary to St. Catherine Labouré in 1830 at the Rue du Bac chapel in Paris.

History

In 1830, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared three times to St. Catherine Labouré, a Daughter of Charity novice in Paris. During the November apparition, Mary showed the design of a medal, saying 'Have a medal struck upon this model. Those who wear it will receive great graces.' The medal was first struck in 1832, and the extraordinary favors it brought led the faithful to call it the 'Miraculous Medal.'

How to pray it

Pray once daily for nine consecutive days. Each day includes a meditation on an aspect of Our Lady's role and intercession, followed by traditional Marian prayers. The novena may be prayed at any time but is especially associated with the feast of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal (November 27).
