New Novena Prayer to OLPS

Many of you are familiar with the Novena prayer to OMPS that contains the line 'We think of you, Mother at the foot of the cross'.   The Redemptorists in Ireland have slightly modified the prayer to reflect the times we are living in. 

Thank you to https://www.redcoms.org/ for making this prayer available.

Mother of Perpetual Help, with the greatest confidence we come before your holy picture to beseech your intercession.

We think of you, Mother, at the foot of the Cross. Your heart must have bled to see your Son in agony. But your joy was great when He rose from the dead, victorious over the powers of evil.

Mother of Sorrows, pray for us in this time of trial. Help us not to lose heart. Intercede for your people who are afflicted with Coronavirus. Comfort your people who are vulnerable and anxious. Protect healthcare workers who put their lives at risk. Inspire our leaders to make good decisions. Change our hearts so that we may act responsibly.

Teach us to trust in God’s love and mercy and to share with you the joy of having courageously faced up to all the challenges of Life. Amen.

Novena for the Intercession of the Servant of God Venerable Fr Bernard Łubieński C.Ss.R

(For private prayer during the nine days of prayer)

The Sign of the Cross

The Intention

Through the Intercession of Venerable Father Bernard, I ask God for (name the intention)

PRAYER

O God who has granted your servant Bernard an apostolic fervour and strength of spirit to carry his cross, we beg you to allow that he, who gave his whole life to lead the people to the Kingdom of Truth and Love, may intercede for us with you and obtain for us the graces for which we pray with faith, through Christ our Lord Amen.

Our Father …

Hail Mary …

Glory Be …..

Venerable God’s Servant, intercede for us

Although it is normally recommended to go to Confession, attend Mass and receive Holy Communion throughout the Novena this will not be possible (during the Corona Virus crisis).  Simply make an Act of Contrition and a Spiritual Communion. 

Information about graces received through Fr Bernard Łubieński’s intercession should be sent to

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things and I desire to possess you within my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as being already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you.

 Fr Tim has converted this prayer so that it is easily understood by the younger ones

Dear Jesus,I believe that you are truly present in Holy Communion I love you and would love to receive you now, but since this is not possible, please come to me and fill me with all the blessings and graces I need to cope with everything that is going on. Unite us all and give us the peace which you promisedonly you can give.Amen.
