Litany of Loreto

Memorare

Antiphon:  After the days of the purification of Mary were fulfilled, according to the Law of Moses, they carried Jesus to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord.

V.  A light to the revelation of the Gentiles

R. And the glory of Thy people, Israel.

Let us pray:

Almighty and everlasting God, we humbly beseech Thy Majesty that as Thine only-begotten Son was this day presented in the Temple in the substance of our flesh, so we also may, with purified hearts, be presented unto Thee.  Through the same Christ our Lord.  +Amen.

O MARY, ever blessed Virgin, Mother of God,

Queen of the Angels and of the Saints,

I salute thee with the most profound veneration and filial devotion.

I renew the consecration of myself and all I have to thee.

I thank thee for thy maternal protection

and for the many blessings that I have received

through thy wondrous mercy and most powerful intercession.

In all my necessities I have recourse to thee with unbounded confidence.

O Help of Christians, O Mother of Mercy, I beseech thee now to hear my prayer,

and to obtain for me of thy Divine Son the favor that I request in this novena. ....

Obtain for me, also, dearest Mother, the grace

that I may imitate thee and become more like to thee

in the practice of the virtues of humility, obedience, purity,

poverty, submission to the will of God, and charity.

Be my protectress in life, guard and guide me in dangers,

direct me in perplexities, lead me in the way of perfection,

and assist me in the  hour of my death,

that I may come to Jesus,

and with thee enjoy Him, bless Him, and love Him eternally in Heaven.

Amen.

3 x Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.

Amen.

The novena to Our Lady of Good Success is a very popular and powerful one.   Plus I was having a hard time finding a suitable novena for the Presentation / Purification.

I am too. I am a third order Carmelite and my calendar states to pray the Novena in Honor of the Purification. I saw the Novena of DM and the one in the Raccolta. I guess I will be doing the one in the Raccolta if I cannot find a more perfect one. Thank you DM and Cathleen for your help. If you see anything before Friday please let me know. God Bless you in Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

[Cathleen]

I tried looking in the Raccolta and it said something similar to what you put down, DM.

It mentioned in there that the faithful could devoutly say a prayer for 9 days prior to the feasts you listed.

I found a prayer for the feast day itself in my old prayer book "Blessed Be God" by the Dominican Fathers Charles Callan and John McHugh.

Antiphon:  After the days of the purification of Mary were fulfilled, according to the Law of Moses, they carried Jesus to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord.

V.  A light to the revelation of the Gentiles

R. And the glory of Thy people, Israel.

Let us pray:

Almighty and everlasting God, we humbly beseech Thy Majesty that as Thine only-begotten Son was this day presented in the Temple in the substance of our flesh, so we also may, with purified hearts, be presented unto Thee.  Through the same Christ our Lord.  +Amen.

Just as a side note:  we are doing the Novena to Our Lady of Good Success during the nine days leading up to the feast day of Our Lord's Presentation / Our Lady's Purification, only because they share the same date.  The novena to Our Lady of Good Success is a very popular and powerful one.   Plus I was having a hard time finding a suitable novena for the Presentation / Purification.

I hope this helps, Arthur!  Thank you for praying here with us.
