Immaculate Conception Novena – Day 8

December 6, 2022

Dear Family of Mary!

Day 8 of our Novena in honor of the Immaculate Conception!

Today in our prayer, we ask Our Lady to intercede for us with Jesus, her Beloved Son. We ask that she present our petition before Him! I understand how many petitions we all have. And each one is very important. And so we can all pray for each other to receive answers to our petitions. But there is so much more going on here. Our Lady wants to bring us into the fullness of peace and hope. She wants us to draw close to the Most High, through whom we will receive peace and salvation.

Let’s not shoot too low in this novena. We want the grace of salvation for our families, our friends, our parishes, and indeed for all men! Our Lady has come to us to lead us to eternal life, which is our hope!

Our Lady told us:

February 25, 2021 

“Dear children!
God has permitted me to be with you also today,
to call you to prayer and fasting.

Live this time of grace
and be witnesses of hope,
because I repeat to you,
little children,
that with prayer and fasting
also wars can be suppressed.

Little children,
believe and live this time of grace
in faith and with faith;
and my Immaculate Heart
does not leave any of you in peacelessness
if you have recourse to me.

I intercede for you
before the Most High
and I pray for peace in your hearts
and for hope for the future.

Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Mother, we are so grateful to God for having sent you to us. You are leading us to the future, the future in eternity with our God! We feel so safe, knowing that your Immaculate Heart does not leave any of us outside of God’s peace, if we turn to you. And so we do turn to you today in this novena, and commit ourselves to follow you into a future of hope.

Let us pray:

Immaculate Conception Novena – Day 8

O Most gracious Virgin Mary, beloved Mother of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, intercede with Him for us that we be granted the favor which we petition for so earnestly in this novena… O Mother of the Word Incarnate, we feel animated with confidence that your prayers in our behalf will be graciously heard before the throne of God. O Glorious Mother of God, in memory of your joyous Immaculate Conception, hear our prayers and obtain for us our petitions.  [Mention your intention now]

O Mary of the Immaculate Conception, Mother of Christ, you had influence with your Divine Son while upon this earth; you have the same influence now in heaven. Pray for us and obtain for us from Him the granting of our petitions according to His love. Amen.

O God, who by the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, did prepare a worthy dwelling place for Your Son, we beseech You that, as by the foreseen death of this, Your Son, You did preserve her from all stain, so too You would permit us, purified through her intercession, to come unto You. Through the same Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen.

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
