Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Brazil A booklet of the novena to Sweetest Name of Mary, in Bikol and printed in Binondo, Manila dated 1867. A novena (from Latin: novem, "nine") is an ancient tradition of devotional praying in Christianity, consisting of private or public prayers repeated for nine successive days or weeks. [1]
It is a part of a novena for prayer beginning on July 7, [2] [3] July 8, [4] and in time of need. [5] On June 28th 1852, it was given a hundred days indulgence by Cardinal Wiseman, Archbishop of Westminster, [4] in favour of Carmelites and any other Christian believer, which recite three daily prayers during nine consecutive days or Saturdays.
Beginning in 1949, pilgrims have been coming each week to give praise to the Mother of God and every week there are many prayers of petition and prayers of thanksgiving received. [22] Each week, the Redemptorists offer six novena prayer services—five in English and one in Mandarin. [23]
In the United States, the first novena prayers were compiled by Reverend Joseph Chapoton, the Vice-provincial of Portland, Oregon. [4] After his death in 1925, the laity added more prayers and hymns into the booklet. [5] This perhaps was the main reason why for many years, there was no set of novena prayers designated for Perpetual Help.
Other prayers honouring Mary's immaculate conception are in use outside the formal liturgy. The Immaculata prayer, composed by Maximillian Kolbe, is a prayer of entrustment to Mary as the Immaculata. [62] A novena of prayers, with a specific prayer for each of the nine days has been composed under the title of the Immaculate Conception Novena. [63]
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. O Mary, by thy pure and Immaculate Conception, make my body pure and my soul holy. [7]
The Pentecost Novena to the Holy Spirit is traditionally prayed especially during the nine days between the Ascension Thursday and Pentecost. [15] The practice of novenas derives from the nine days spent in prayer by the Apostles and Disciples together with Mary from the Ascension until the Descent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost.
Marian devotions are external pious practices directed to the person of Mary, mother of Jesus, by members of certain Christian traditions. [1] They are performed in Catholicism, High Church Lutheranism, Anglo-Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy and Oriental Orthodoxy, but generally rejected in other Christian denominations.
