The Nativity of Mary Novena for Bishop Strickland

Let us begin, In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Vouchsafe that I may praise thee, O sacred Virgin and ask of you the following; give Bishop Strickland strength against his enemies, and against the enemy of the whole human race. Give him strength humbly to pray to thee. Give Bishop strength to praise thee in prayer with all his powers, through the merits of thy most sacred nativity, which for the entire Christian world was a birth of joy, the hope and solace of its life. 

When thou were born, O most holy Virgin, then was the world made light. Happy is thy stock, holy thy root, and blessed thy fruit, for thou alone as a virgin, filled with the Holy Spirit, did merit to conceive thy God, as a virgin to bear Thy God, as a virgin to bring Him forth, and after His birth to remain a virgin. 

Have mercy therefore upon me a sinner, and give me aid, O Lady, so that just as thy nativity, glorious from the seed of Abraham, sprung from the tribe of Juda, illustrious from the stock of David, didst announce joy to the entire world, so may it fill me with true joy and cleanse me from every sin. 

Pray for me, O Virgin most prudent, that the gladsome joys of thy most helpful nativity may put a cloak over all my sins. O holy Mother of God, flowering as the lily, pray to thy sweet Son for me, a wretched sinner and for my dear Bishop Strickland your faithful priest son.

Amen

We pray for the intentions of  Bishop Strickland: 

· The Sanctity of Life from conception to natural death.

· The Sanctity of Marriage as God established it between one man and one woman for life and being open to children.

· The sanctity of the human person created male and female.

· The sanctity of the Church as the Bride of Christ.

· The sacred role of bishops as successors of the apostles and guardians of the deposit of faith.

  Say 1: Our Father…  Say 1: Hail Mary… Say 1: Glory Be…
