Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help

We are saying a novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help during the nine days leading to her feast day. Our intentions are for our new Sodality at our parish and for our own Number Two who begins a tour of Europe with a group from her old school. I found a couple of interesting sites on this novena, here and here.

See at Your feet, 

O Mother of Perpetual Help, 

a poor sinner who has recourse to You 

and confides in You.

O Mother of Mercy, 

have pity on me! 

I hear You called the refuge 

and the hope of sinners; 

be my refuge and my hope.

Help me, for the love of Jesus Christ; 

stretch forth Your hand to a poor fallen creature 

who recommends himself (herself) to You, 

and who devotes himself (herself) to Your service forever. 

I bless and thank Almighty God, 

who in His mercy had given me this confidence in You, 

which I hold to be a pledge of my eternal salvation.

Mary, tender Mother, help me. 

Mother of Perpetual Help, 

never allow me to lose my God. 

Amen.

Recite the following prayers 3 times each...
