Our Lady of Guadalupe Novena




“Listen and let it penetrate your heart…do not be troubled or weighed down with grief. Do not fear any illness or vexation, anxiety or pain. Am I not here who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I not your fountain of life? Are you not in the folds of my mantle? In the crossing of my arms? Is there anything else you need?”

Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mystical Rose, make intercession for the holy Church, protect the Sovereign Pontiff, help all those who invoke thee in their necessities, and since thou art the ever Virgin Mary and Mother of the true God, obtain for us from thy most holy Son the grace of keeping our faith, sweet hope in the midst of the bitterness of life, burning charity and the precious gift of final perseverance. Amen.

Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us.

DAY 1 

The words of Our Lady of Guadalupe spoken to the Indian, Juan Diego, on the hill of Tepeyac, December 9, 1531,
"My dear son, whom I love tenderly, know that I am the Virgin Mary, Mother of the True God; the Giver and maintainer of life; Creator of all things; Lord of Heaven and Earth, Who is in all places. I wish a temple to be erected here, where I can manifest the compassion I have for the natives and for ALL who solicit my help."

These words, my heavenly Mother, fill my heart with love and gratitude, with renewed faith and hope, because they were directed to me also.

Therefore, I turn to you, confident of obtaining through your intercession, the grace which will enable me to live in accordance with the teaching of your Divine on, Jesus, whom I desire to love with all my heart. You shared in all that my Saviour suffered for me, therefore I also belong to you, and you are my loving Mother.

Do not abandon me in this vale of tears; take pity, I beg you, on my poverty and necessities; have compassion on my anxieties and care; assist and comfort me in all my infirmities and miseries.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin of Guadalupe, that in your heavenly apparitions on the mount of Tepeyac, you promised to show your compassion and pity towards all who, loving and trusting you, seek your help and call upon you in their necessities and afflictions.

You promised to hear our supplications, to dry our tears, and to give us consolation and relief.

Never has it been known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, we fly to you, O Mary, ever-Virgin Mother of the true God! Though grieving under the weight of our sins, we come to prostrate ourselves before you. We fully trust that, standing beneath your shadow and protection, nothing will trouble or afflict us, nor do we need to fear illness or misfortune, or any other sorrow.

O Virgin of Guadalupe, you want to remain with us through your admirable Image, you who are our Mother, our health, and our life. Placing ourselves beneath your maternal gaze, and having recourse to you in all our necessities, we need do nothing more.

O Holy Mother of God, despise not our petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer us. Amen.

 

DAY 2 

The Merciful words spoken on the fourth and last visit to Juan Diego: "Do not let anything afflict you, and do not be afraid of any illness or accident or pain. Am I not here who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Do you need anything else?"
 
These words were also directed to me and they fill my heart with gladness and hope. Turn then, most gracious Mother, your eyes of mercy towards by.

Perfect me in your love, making it possible for me to put all my troubles and worries at your feet, knowing that you will remember that you are Mother; that I am under your shadow and protection; and that you will obtain for me the consolation of which I am so much in need.

DAY 3 

When the Indians saw the admirable image you left on Juan Diego's mantle, they recognized it to be a picture writing containing a celestial message which was directed to them.

Your regal figure in the form of a human being taught them that your dwelling place at one time must have been on earth. The rays of the sun, the clouds surrounding your body, the stars on your garment, the crescent under your feet, the angel transporting you though space -- all denote your present home in heaven and called their attention to the immortality of the human soul.

O Holy Mary, as your image on the garment of Juan Diego taught the Indians, so let it teach me never to forget the immortality of my soul, that Heaven is my goal and my inheritance. Amid temptations and miseries of this life, let me think always of this home of peace, glory, and eternal bliss.

DAY 4  

When you visited Juan Diego's dying uncle Juan Bernardino, curing him and telling him your name, "Immaculate Virgin who crushed the serpent," you filled the Indian's hearts with joy. It told them that they no longer needed to make human sacrifices to their pagan idols.

Hail! Holy Queen, merciful Mother. Hail! Our life, our sweetness and our hope!

Permit me to join in the songs of praise that, to this day, this whole nation sends up to your throne, many coming long distances to offer you gifts and prayers.

Pray for us Holy Mother of God, exterminate the Serpent of Evil from our lives, that we may me made worthy of the promises of Christ, your Divine Son.

DAY 5

For centuries the natives of Mexico worshipped the Sun, sacrificing countless human beings in its honor. However, when they beheld your beautiful Image blotting it out so that only its rays are visible, they understood the lesson it was intended to convey.

After the Indian heard your message and read the message contained in your Image, they abandoned their false gods and embraced the loving doctrine of your Divine Son. Never have they ceased giving thanks for the great mercy Almighty God showered upon them when He sent you to be their Queen, their Mother and their teacher.
 
O Holy Mary, through the mystery of the Incarnation of your beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, wherein our salvation was begun, obtain for us light to understand the greatness of the benefit which He has bestowed upon us in becoming our Brother and in giving you, His own venerated Mother, to be our Mother also.

DAY 6 

The fires that burned on the altars of the false gods were extinguished forever, after the Indians had contemplated your Image, and saw you clothed with the sky covered with stars. This showed them that the stars had been created by the Indivisible God to serve humankind and therefore, could not be gods to whom adoration and sacrifices were due.

Most Holy Mary, who through your Image, stamped by God on the Indian's garment, hast brought millions of pagans into the light of the true Faith, I beg you to obtain for me the grace of understanding the message it contains. Shed upon me the light of your countenance; direct and sanctify all my undertakings.

DAY 7 

The emblem of our redemption, stamped upon the golden brooch fastened to your garment, served to tell the Indians that the religion of their conquerors was the one they were to embrace. The cross on the banner of Hernando Cortez and on the brooch was the same.

When they saw it upon the image, they flocked around the Spanish Missionaries, eager to know its meaning. They were told about the Savior, Who came from Heaven to redeem the human race, through His death on the cross; and that you are the Virgin Mother of the Divine Victim, associated with Him in the mystery of our redemption.

Happy the nation to whom you revealed yourself and God.
Holy Virgin Mary of Guadalupe, my Queen and Mother, more than four hundred and fifty years have passed since you spoke to Juan Diego, and so far, only a few of your children in other lands have become aware of the purpose of your Image on the altar of your shrine.

Inspire us, then, to see this, your miraculous picture, the instrument for the conversion of ALL to the Catholic Apostolic Faith, you who are the adorable Queen and Mother of all the Apostles, and of all Missionaries.

DAY 8 

After Juan Diego had cut the flowers that had bloomed suddenly on the barren hill of Tepeyac, he brought them to you at the foot of the mount, where you were waiting. With your own hands you arranged them in his tilma, tying it around his neck, telling him to take them to Bishop Zumarraga, and that this sign would induce him to start building your temple.
 
The last words which he heard from your adorable lips were: "You are my ambassador worthy of confidence; go in peace."

The sacred picture, on the coarse cloth of the tilma, could not have been painted by human hands. It convinced the Bishop, as it ought to convince every person who looks at it, that Juan Diego's message was truly yours.

Humbly, I beg you, my Queen and Mother; Let me he your ambassador like Juan Diego, to give the doctrine contained in your Image to all my friends; to convince them also, whether they be believers or unbelievers.

DAY 9 

O Holy Virgin, enthroned on the spot which you chose in the very heart of an idolatrous nation, you did marvelously work its conversion.

After seeing the Image on the tilma of their countryman, Juan Diego, the Indians stripped their temples of all idols. They built beautiful churches on whose towers gleaming crosses shone in the sun. The huge drum, which innumerable times had announced human sacrifices in honor of their gods, was heard no more.

As Juan Diego spent the remaining seventeen years of his life in giving your spoken message to the Indians, so permit me, my loving Mother, to help in making known your celestial message among my countrymen.

Animate and bless all who join in the Apostleship and Novena in order to propagate the Catholic religion among their friends, having as their banner your admirable image on Juan Diego's tilma, together with the cross, emblem of our redemption. I beseech your special aid in procuring the conversion or healing of (MENTION NAME.)
