Novena in Honor of Our Lady of Altagracia

 

PREPARATORY PRAYER

 

O Dear Mother, Most Sweet Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness! Look at us here,

prostrated in your presence wishing to offer you this novena in testimony of our

love, and in thanksgiving for the innumerable favors we have received from your

hands. You are our Advocate and, like beggars, we come to present our needs to

you. You are our Teacher, and like disciples we come to learn from the example of

your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all

the love of our hearts. Receive Dearest Mother, our praise and listen attentively

to our supplications. Amen.

 

Supplications

 

1. O Sweetest Mother of Altagracia, pure and immaculate since your conception! We

beg you to bless our children, preserving their innocence and increasing their

love for purity.

 

(Hail Mary…)

 

2. O Sweetest Mother of Altagracia, Admirable Mother, who in your little house of

Nazareth, served as a model for Christian mothers and wives. We ask you to bless

our homes so that the sanctity and holiness of marriage will flourish in them.

 

(Hail Mary…)

 

3. O Sweetest Mother of Altagracia, you who had the joy of receiving in your arms the body of your Most Holy Son who died on the cross for us, we beg you to come to our aid at the our of our death, so that by dying with the name of Jesus on our lips and hearts, we can fly to the glory of your maternal arms.

 

Final Prayer

 

Most Holy Virgin of Altagracia, from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for

the continuous blessings you pour down on us. From your hands and from your

maternal heart we receive, each day, the sustenance given to us by our Heavenly

Father. You are our defender when we are in danger, our aid when we are in need

and our hope in the sacrifices proper of our Christian life. Through your

Immaculate Heart we want to sing a song of thanksgiving to God for all the

blessings he has given us. We promise you, O Mother, gratitude and fidelity. You

will reign forever in our homes and our town where we will venerate you as our

Lady and Mother by growing in all your virtues. Make us worthy of being called

your daughters so that serving God and you on this world, we will obtain the

highest grace you bring to us: a holy death that will open to us the gates of

heaven. Amen.
