Happy Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Immaculate Conception Prayer
✝️In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
O Immaculate Virgin!
Mary, conceived without sin!
Remember, you were miraculously
preserved from even the shadow
of sin, because you were destined
to become not only the Mother of God,
but also the mother, the refuge,
and the advocate of man;
penetrated therefore, with the
most lively confidence in your
never-failing intercession,
we most humbly implore you
to look with favor upon the
intentions of this novena,
and to obtain for us the graces
and the favors we request.
You know, O Mary, how often our
hearts are the sanctuaries of God,
Who abhors iniquity.
Obtain for us, then, that angelic
purity which was your favorite virtue,
that purity of heart which will attach
us to God alone, and that purity of
intention which will consecrate
every thought, word, and action
to His greater glory.
Obtain also for us a constant spirit
of prayer and self-denial,
that we may recover by penance
that innocence which we have lost
by sin, and at length attain safely
to that blessed abode of the Saints,
where nothing defiled can enter.
O Mary, conceived without sin,
pray for us who have recourse to thee.
