1⃣ NOVENA IN HONOUR OF OUR LADY OF SORROWS
DAY 9 - SEPTEMBER 14
OUR LADY OF SORROWS
We end as we began nine days ago: with Mary, weeping silently beside the cross. Weeping for the innocent child so violently taken. Weeping for the nation which has let him die. Weeping for her child and for our, we place them both in her arms.
(State your intentions here...)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be...
PRAYER: O Mary, sorrowful Mother of the Lord, you have given us a wonderful example of love and strength near the cross. Teach us to love and be generously present to all who suffer. Grant that we may receive you in our home like a mother and learn through your example a new way of accepting the inevitable sufferings of life. Amen.
Our Lady of Sorrows: Pray for us!

May God hear and answer our prayer according to His holy will and for His greater glory. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
St. Padre Pio: Pray for us!
