1⃣ ANNUNCIATION NOVENA

DAY 8 - MARCH 23

DEVOTION AND SPIRIT OF ASSOCIATES

First of all, a profound devotion to the Holy Trinity and an ardent zeal that the Holy Spirit may become more known and loved. Devotion to all the mysteries of our Lord, especially the Incarnation, for from out of this flow all other mysteries, the privileges and beatitudes of the Blessed Virgin, and man's salvation. Devotion to the Blessed Mother, St. Joseph, the Angel Gabriel, the friends of the Holy Family, and all the holy souls associated with our Blessed Lord, the Angels, St. John the Baptist, and the Apostles....for the Church and for sinners-- particularly the impenitent dying, and they find success and strength in daily communion and prayer to the Holy Spirit, realizing that as St. John says, "Without me you can do nothing" (Jn 15: 5).

PRAYER: I greet you, Ever-blessed Virgin, Mother of God, Throne of Grace, miracle of Almighty Power! I greet you, Sanctuary of the Most Holy Trinity and Queen of the Universe, Mother of Mercy and refuge of sinners!

Most loving Mother, attracted by your beauty and sweetness, and by your tender compassion, I confidently turn to you, miserable as I am, and beg of you to obtain for me from your dear Son the favour I request in this novena.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

Obtain for me also, Queen of heaven, the most lively contrition for my many sins and the grace to imitate closely those virtues which you practiced so faithfully, especially humility, purity and obedience. Above all, I beg you to be my Mother and Protectress, to receive me into the number of your devoted children, and to guide me from your high throne of glory.

Do not reject my petitions, Mother of Mercy! Have pity on me, and do not abandon me during life or at the moment of my death. Amen.

REFLECTION: CHOOSING TO ASSIST THE PRIESTS AMIDST PERSECUTION

PRAYER: St. Margaret Clitherow, you lived in a society that persecuted Catholics and especially priests. You knew how important priests are to God's Church, so you faithfully worked to assist and protect priests. Please bring my petitions before God with such faithfulness! You provided hiding places for many priests and made it possible for them to say Mass. Because of your holy work, many Catholics benefitted from the continued ministry of the priests you assisted. Pray for me, that I may never allow the threat of suffering to deter me from serving God. Pray that I may serve God worthily in whatever ways He calls me to. Please also pray for,

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
