Novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

O Mother of Perpetual Help, behold, I, a poor sinner, lie at your feet. I rely on you and trust in you. O Mother of Mercy, have mercy on me; I hear you called by all the refuge and hope of sinners; be then my refuge and my hope. Help me for the love of Jesus Christ; stretch out your hand to me, a poor sinner, who entrusts himself to you and consecrates himself to you as your faithful servant. I thank and bless God that in His mercy He has given me this confidence in You, which, as I believe, is the pledge of my eternal salvation. Ah, so often in the past I have fallen miserably, because I did not turn to you; I know that with your help I shall conquer. I know that you will help me if I entrust myself to you, but I fear that at the time of falling I might cease to call upon you and so lose my soul. Therefore I ask this grace of you and beg you, as best I know and can, to obtain it for me, namely, that in the attacks of the devil I may always seek refuge in you and say to you: O Mary, help me, Mother of Perpetual Help, do not allow me to lose my God. Amen.

Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory be to the Father…
