The Power of the Election Novena!
Immaculate Heart of Mary,
help us to conquer the menace of evil,
which so easily
takes root in the hearts of the people of today,
and whose immeasurable effects
already weigh down upon our modern world
and seem to block the paths toward the future.
From famine and war, deliver us.
From nuclear war, from incalculable self-destruction, from
every kind of war, deliver us.
From sins against human life from its very beginning,
deliver us.
From hatred and from the demeaning of the dignity of the
children of God, deliver us.
From every kind of injustice in the life of society, both
national and international, deliver us.
From readiness to trample on the commandments of God,
deliver us.
From attempts to stifle in human hearts the very truth of
God, deliver us.
From the loss of awareness of good and evil, deliver us.
From sins against the Holy Spirit, deliver us.
Accept, O Mother of Christ,
this cry laden with the sufferings of all individual
human beings,
laden with the sufferings of whole societies.
Help us with the power of the Holy Spirit conquer all sin:
individual sin and the “sin of the world,”
sin in all its manifestations.
Let there be revealed once more in the history of the world
the infinite saving power of the redemption:
the power of merciful love.
May it put a stop to evil.
May it transform consciences.
May your Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of hope. 29408. jexster - 11/4/2008 12:04:17 AM Jn 6:55
29409. jexster - 11/11/2008 6:14:11 AM The Church was born on the Jewish feast of the Pentecost, a birth which was preceded by a novena. After the ascension of Christ into heaven, Mother Mary and the Apostles (and according to tradition, a group totalling about 120) remained sequestered in the Upper Room for nine days, awaiting the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 1:14)
From the Latin word "novem," meaning "nine," a novena is a prayer that is repeated for nine days, after which, according to pious belief, special graces are obtained 29410. wonkers2 - 11/11/2008 6:16:11 AM Jexter drinks the Koolaid. 29411. vonKreedon - 11/11/2008 5:44:03 PM I think in this case it's wine rather than kool-aid. 29412. wonkers2 - 11/11/2008 8:14:02 PM Jexter needs to put a twitch on these guysBishops buck Obama 29413. wonkers2 - 11/20/2008 3:24:44 AM I'm just one of those regular Christians 29414. jexster - 11/23/2008 4:46:53 AM Next Sunday, 23 Nov, the Bishop will make his visitation at High Mass.
