Prayers to Our Lady of Guadalupe MEMORARE
TO OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE MEMORARE TO OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary of Guadalupe, that in
thy
celestial
apparitions on the mount of Tepeyac, thou didst promise to show thy
compassion
and pity towards all who, loving and trusting thee, seek thy help and
call
upon thee in their necessities and afflictions. Thou didst promise to hearken to our supplications, to dry our
tears
and to give us consolation and relief. Never was it known that anyone
who
fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession,
either for the common welfare, or in personal anxieties, was left
unaided. Inspired with this confidence, we fly unto thee, O Mary, ever
Virgin
Mother of the True God! Though grieving under the weight of our sins,
we
come to prostrate ourselves in thy august presence, certain that thou
wilt
deign to fulfill thy merciful promises. We are full of hope that,
standing
beneath thy shadow and protection, nothing will trouble or afflict us,
nor need we fear illness, or misfortune, or any other sorrow. Thou hast decided to remain with us through thy admirable
image,
thou who art our Mother, our health and our life. Placing ourselves
beneath
thy maternal gaze and having recourse to thee in all our necessities we
need do nothing more. O Holy Mother of God, despise not our petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer us. Five Hail Marys. . . in gratitude for the four apparitions to Juan Diego and the one to Juan Bernardino. Immaculate Heart of Mary, Heart of my Mother, Our Lady of Guadalupe, I unite to thy purity, thy sanctity, thy zeal and thy love, all my thoughts, words, acts, and sufferings this day, that there may be nothing in me that does not become through thee, a pleasure to Jesus, a gain to souls, and an act of reparation for the offenses against thy Heart. PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE 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, of sweet hope in the midst of the bitterness of life, of burning charity, and the precious gift of final perseverance. Amen. One Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father . . . in gratitude for the Miraculous Portrait as a continuing miracle and testimony.

Crucifix-----Mystical Rose Prayer [above] First Apparition: Our Lady of Guadalupe appears to Blessed
Juan
Diego. One Our Father. Meditation: Our Lady of Guadalupe, my Queen and my Mother, "I
thank
thee for thy first apparition to Blessed Juan Diego when thou didst
reveal that thou art the Most Pure Virgin, Mary, Mother of the True God
and Mother of all mankind. I thank thee for requesting a temple to be
built where thee stood, to bear witness to thy love, thy compassion,
thy aid and thy protection for all who would love thee, trust thee, and
invoke thy help. Three Hail Marys, Glory be. Second Apparition: Our Lady of Guadalupe gives Blessed Juan
Diego
encouragement after his return from the Bishop's house. One Our Father. Meditation: Our Lady of Guadalupe, my Queen and my Mother, I
thank
thee for thy second apparition to Blessed Juan Diego when, upon his
return from the Bishop's house, he knelt in humiliation and defeat
before thee since he was unable to accomplish thy mission. I thank thee
for the courage and encouragement thou gavest to Blessed Juan Diego to
make a second appeal to the Bishop. Three Hail Marys, Glory be. Third Apparition: Our Lady of Guadalupe promises a sign to
Blessed
Juan Diego for the Bishop. One Our Father. Meditation: Mother, I thank thee for thy third apparition to
Blessed
Juan Diego when, after this unsuccessful attempt to have a temple
built, thou didst say to him, "So be it, son. Return tomorrow in order
that thou mayest secure for the Bishop the sign for which he hath
asked. When this is in thy possession, he will believe thee; he will no
longer doubt thy word and suspect thy good faith. Be assured that I
shall reward thee for all that thou hast undergone." Three Hail Marys, Glory be. Fourth Apparition: Our Lady of Guadalupe fulfills her promise
by
showing herself on the tilma of Blessed Juan Diego. One Our Father. Meditation: Our Lady of Guadalupe, my Queen and my Mother, I
thank
thee for thy fourth apparition to Blessed Juan Diego when thou didst
order him to pick the roses he would find on the summit of the hill and
bring them to thee. I thank thee for arranging them in his tilma when
didst say, "This cluster of roses is the sign that thou shalt take to
the Bishop. Thou art to tell him, in my name, that in this he will
recognize my will and that he must fulfill it. Thou wilt be my
ambassador, wholly worthy of my confidence. Only in the presence of the
Bishop shalt thou unfold thy mantle and disclose that which thou doth
carry." I thank thee for thine image printed on the tilma which
appeared when the roses were released. O Mary, Mother of God, hear our petitions and in thy mercy answer us. Amen. NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE Our Lady of Guadalupe, according to THY message in Mexico I venerate THEE as the Virgin Mother of the true God for whom we live, the Creator of all the world, Maker of heaven and earth. In spirit I kneel before thy most holy image which thou didst miraculously imprint upon the cloak of the Indian Juan Diego, and with the faith of the countless numbers of pilgrims who visit thy shrine, I beg thy for this favor: [Mention your request]. Remember, O Immaculate Virgin, the words thou hast spoken to thy devout client: "I am a merciful mother to thee and to all thy people who love me and trust in me and invoke my help. I listen to their lamentations and solace all their sorrows and sufferings." I beg thee to be a merciful mother to me, because I sincerely love thee and trust in thee and invoke thy help. I entreat thee, our Lady of Guadalupe, to grant my request, if this should be the will of God, in order that I may bear witness to thy love, thy compassion, thy help and protection. Do not forsake me in my needs. Recite "Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us" and Hail Mary three times. Say this novena nine times in a row for nine days in a row. The nine times per day do not have to be immediately in succession but can be said throughout the day, provided one keeps a continual spirit of prayer in between, that is one is not watching television, etc., but doing one's duty while giving oneself to Our Lord and Our Lady. |
