NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP
Seventh Day - June 24
Most Holy Mother of our Saviour, you alone hast loved Him worthily for you have not loved Him in word only, but in deed and in truth; you have given the great proof that this love demands, for you have loved us with a love which next to His own, never had an equal and which brought thee to sacrifice for our happiness all that made thine own, even thy Jesus Himself I can never be dear to you unless I also love my neighbour with a sincere and generous love. Help me to do so, O Mother of Perpetual Help.
Obtain for me a heart like to that of Jesus and your own, so that I may be meek and humble, patient, compassionate, more ready to forgive than to take offense, and to give than to receive; that thus I may keep my eyes ever open to my own faults, and may close them to those of my neighbour; that I may put up with everything rather than cause pain to another; that severe to myself, I may be full of indulgence towards others, that I may love them in Jesus, and Jesus in them; that by my prayers, my good advice, and good example, I may strive to draw them for their salvation to Jesus and to you. Amen.
Hail Mary (3 times)
Our Mother of Perpetual Help,
Pray for us.
