Nativity of Mary Novena - Day 9

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. V. O God, come to my assistance. R. O Lord, make haste to help me. V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. R. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen Mediatrix between God and mankind, admirable Mary, by your birth you perfected the joy of all the children of Adam, who, through you, have received the Author of Grace, for He has made you the treasurer of all the graces which are imparted to us. May your birth be a special cause of joy to my soul by obtaining for me from God, eternal salvation and all the graces necessary to obtain it. Dearest Mother, please pray for me and for these my intentions. (mention request here…) Hail Mary x1 Your Nativity, O Virgin Mother of God, was the herald of joy to the whole world; since from you arose the Sun of Justice, Christ our God, who, destroying the curse, bestowed the blessing, and confounding death, rewarded us with life everlasting. V. Let us celebrate with joy the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary. R. That she may intercede for us with Our Lord Jesus Christ. Grant to us your servants, we beseech you, O Lord, the gift of Your heavenly grace, that as our salvation was begun in the child-bearing of the Blessed Virgin, so from this solemn festival of her Nativity may we obtain an increase of peace. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
