1⃣ ANNUNCIATION NOVENA
DAY 7 - MARCH 22
ASSOCIATES OF THE MISSIONARY CENACLE
This day of the Annunciation is one of the greatest feasts. Its mystery and those connected with it are the subjects of our meditation and constant prayer. Make known in love and reverence its meaning and the wonderful grace it brings to poor fallen humanity. We cherish the Angel Gabriel in love and strive that he may be honoured the more, and honour him for his splendid success, The great grace that God is giving us leads us servants of the Most Blessed Trinity into the very family of the Incarnation. We should be very grateful for the grace that God gives us by drawing and inspiring us with a special love. He demands our service in the battle between good and evil.
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.

DAY 6 - MARCH 22
REFLECTION: COURAGEOUSLY PRACTICING HER FAITH AMIDST PERSECUTION
PRAYER: St. Margaret Clitherow, you boldly chose to assist and hide priests as they fled from the persecution of the government. Though you knew you could be punished severely for this, you continued to serve God courageously. Please continue to bring my petitions before the throne of God! After you were arrested on account of your Faith, you courageously resisted the authorities' attempts to make you renounce your Faith. You ultimately chose to die for your Catholic Faith. Pray for me, that I may always practice my Faith courageously. Pray that I may hold fast to my Faith even to the point of death if necessary. Please also pray for,
