2018 - is a very special year! It is 150 years since the Basilica of Mary Help of Christians in Valdocco, Turin was consecrated, in 1868. We shall pray the Novena together this year... as loving children of the Help of Christians, and grow closer to our Saviour, Lord Jesus Christ.
21st May, 2018 - Day 7
Praise be to God, the
Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit now and forever. Amen.
“Then
they returned to Jerusalem from the mount that is called Olivet, which is near
Jerusalem, within a Sabbath day's journey. And when they had come in, they went
up into an upper room, where abode Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and
Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alpheus, Simon Zelotes, and Jude, the
brother of James. All these were persevering with one mind in prayer with the
women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.” (Acts 1: 12-14)
O
Mary, teach us to pray, trust and persevere.
PRAYER:
O Mary, Mother of mercy, who so often saved Christians from the plague
and other bodily scourges by your powerful intercession, help them and deliver
them now from the plague of impiety and irreligion, which insinuates itself in
a thousand ways into their souls keeping them from the Church and pious
practices, especially through sects, the press and perverse schools. I humbly
ask you to help the good, that they may persevere; strengthen the weak; call the
wayward and sinners to repentance, so that the Truth and the Kingdom of Jesus
Christ may triumph here on earth, thus increasing your glory and that of your
Son, and saving souls. Amen
(Remember your Intentions here)
Mary, Help of Christians, Pray for us.
