DAY 1 - AUGUST 30
O Immaculate Virgin! God's sublime creation! The Almighty has done great things in you. As He gathered all waters in the sea at the time of creation, He has enriched you with His richness of grace and beauty. O renowned Fame of the human race!
Supreme Beauty of the earth! Holy Temple of God! Garden of the Blessed Trinity we praise you. We pray to you dear Mother of Health, to intercede for the church, for the Holy Father and all men of good will. Protect all your children and obtain for them health of soul and body. Holy Mother, save the youth from the danger of falling into the darkness of sin and guide them along the path of purity. Preserve virgins in their chastity; protect the bond of love in every family. Indeed, you are the model of parents, protector of widows, shelter of the broken - hearted, treasure for the needy and health of the sick. We beg you to obtain for us the grace and love of God so that we may remain faithful children of God.

I desire by this novena, which I now offer in your honour, to prove the lively confidence I have in your intercession. Accept it, I beseech you, in honour of that supernatural love and joy, with which your Immaculate Heart was replenished during the abode of your divine Son in your womb, in veneration of which, I offer you the sentiments of my heart. Amen.
Pray the three Hail Marys...
Our Lady of Velankanni, pray for us.
