Novena to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal

Day 5: Mary, Health of the Sick

O tender Mother, countless miracles of healing have been granted through your intercession and through the wearing of your Miraculous Medal. You who accompanied your Son during His earthly ministry of healing now continue that work of mercy from heaven. Look with compassion upon all who are ill, upon those who care for them, and upon all who work in the healing arts. Obtain for the sick the grace of patience and, if it be God's will, restoration of health.

For the healing and comfort of all who are sick or suffering.

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).
