4. NOVENA PRAYERS:
ACT OF CONTRITION
My Lord, Jesus Christ, true God and true man,
in whom I believe, in whom I hope,
in whom I love above all things,
I am deeply sorry for having offended Thee,
because Thou are infinite goodness.
I promise never more to offend Thee,
with the help of Thy divine grace, and through the
powerful intercession of the Blessed Mother,
the Holy Virgin Mary, whom I would like to honor
all the days of my life, but most particularly during
this novena which I dedicate to the glory of
her most holy name. AMEN.
Virgin of Peñafrancia, pray for us!
LET US PRAY
O most lovable Queen and Mother Mary,
whose sweet name gladdens the heavens,
consoles the earth and daunts hell!
O peerless greatness granted to Thee
by Him who is omnipotent, that all might
share in the benefits of the plenitude,
namely:
the sick their cure,
the sorrowful their consolation,
the sinners their forgiveness,
the angels their joys,
and the blessed Trinity untold glory!
To Thee I have recourse in this novena,
as armor for my defense,
as a medicine for my health,
as a consolation for my grief,
as an effective relief for my burdens,
as help unto the remission of my sins and
as a universal remedy for all my needs;
therefore, I beseech Thee time and again
and frequently repeat these sweet words:
Virgin of Peñafrancia, pray for us! (3x).
May I deserve from thy mercy and benevolence
a participation in the benign influence of thy
name and may I become one of thy most
faithful children, so that living always under
this precious protection, may I be granted
the special intention of this novena, if it be
for the greater honor and glory of God and
the salvation of my soul. AMEN.
