“We must pray often to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the
Immaculate Conception, who has the mission to crush the
head of the serpent. Satan is frightened at the mere word of
the Immaculate Conception. As soon as things are not going
well, as soon as you feel a bad mood, a revolt within you, say:
O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse
to Thee. We must also invoke the Blessed Virgin under the
title of Queen of the heavenly armies: O Mary, Commander
of the heavenly armies, protect us.”
Father John Gregory of the Trinity
Novena to the
Immaculate Conception
O Mary, immaculate lily shining with purity, I rejoice with You that,
from the first moment of Your Conception, You were filled with
graces, and moreover endowed with the perfect use of reason. I
thank and adore the Most Holy Trinity, who has embellished You with
such sublime gifts; and I am confounded before You, seeing myself
so lacking in graces. O You, who have been so fully filled with
heavenly favors, deign to communicate something of them to my
soul, and make me share in the treasures of Your Immaculate
Conception.
3 Ave Maria…
Blessed be the Holy and Immaculate Conception
of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
Here I am at Your sacred feet, O Immaculate Virgin; I rejoice greatly
with You that You have been chosen from all eternity to be the Mother
of the eternal Word, and preserved from the original sin. I thank and
bless the Most Holy Trinity, who enriched You with these glorious
privileges on the day of Your Conception; and I humbly beg You to
obtain for me the grace to triumph over the dreadful effects that
original sin has produced in me. May I, through Your intercession, be
granted this grace and never cease to love my God!

Blessed be the Holy and Immaculate Conception
of the Blessed Virgin Mary!

salvation.

the grace to know how to profit from the fruits of the Passion and
death of Jesus, Your Son, so that, far from making useless the blood
He shed for me on the cross, I may draw from it a holy life and eternal
salvation.
3 Ave Maria…
Blessed be the Holy and Immaculate Conception
of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
O Mary, shining Star of purity untainted and without blemish, I rejoice
with You that Your Immaculate Conception has delighted all the
Angels in heaven. I thank and bless the Most Holy Trinity for having

O Mary, the rising dawn of all purity, I am with You enraptured with
joy and admiration at the sight of this first moment of Your
Immaculate Conception, in which Divine Goodness has confirmed
You in grace, and made You impeccable; I thank and exalt the
most holy Trinity for having distinguished You, alone, among all
creatures by this singular privilege: O holy Virgin, obtain for me the
grace to abhor sin, to hate it more than all other evils, and to prefer
rather to die than to offend God.
3 Ave Maria…
Blessed be the Holy and Immaculate Conception
of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
O Virgin Mary, Sun without stain, I congratulate You and rejoice with
You that, in Your Immaculate Conception, God has given You a
grace superior and more abundant than those of all the Angels and
Saints, at the highest point of their perfection. I thank the Most Holy
Trinity, and I admire His infinite goodness, for having granted You
this distinguished prerogative. Ah, do so also, Holy Virgin, that I
always correspond to the divine grace, and that I never abuse it:
change my heart, so that I begin, from this moment, to correct
myself.
3 Ave Maria…
Blessed be the Holy and Immaculate Conception
of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
O Mary, Mother and Immaculate Virgin, living light of holiness and
model of purity, as soon as You were conceived, You adored God
profoundly, and You thanked Him for having deigned to employ You,
to lift the ancient curse and to spread henceforth the most ample
blessing on the children of Adam: ah! Let this blessing kindle in my
heart the fire of divine love; set it ablaze with the flames that
consume You, so that I may love God constantly here below, possess
Him eternally in Heaven, render to Him in that blessed abode the
most ardent thanksgiving for the outstanding privileges He has
granted You; and finally give myself over to the sweet joy of seeing
You crowned with so much glory and honor, in the highest Heaven.

Blessed be the Holy and Immaculate Conception
