Novena preparatory to the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary


We must pray a great deal to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Immaculate Conception, whose mission it is to crush the head of the serpent. Satan is terrified at the mere mention of the Immaculate Conception. As soon as things do not go well, as soon as you feel bad temper, or rebellion within you, say: 


O Mary conceived without sin, 
pray for us who have recourse to Thee.


Father John Gregory of the Trinity



Daily Prayers of the Novena


Three “Hail Mary’s”…

Between each Hail Mary, the invocation:


“O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee.”


We conclude by singing once:


“O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee.”
