Novena to Our Lady of
Perpetual Help
O Mother of Perpetual Succour, behold me, a miserable sinner at thy
feet. I have recourse to thee and put my trust in thee. O Mother of Mercy, have
pity upon me, I hear thee called by all, the refuge and the hope of sinners, be
then my refuge and my hope. Succour me for the love of Jesus Christ; stretch
forth thy hand to me, a poor sinner, who recommend and dedicate myself to thee,
as thy perpetual servant. I bless and thank God, for, having in his Mercy given
me this confidence in Thee, the pledge, as I believe, of my eternal salvation.
Alas, too often in past times have I miserably fallen, because I had not
recourse to thee, I know that with thy help I shall conquer. I know that thou
will help me, if I recommend myself to thee, but I fear lest in the occasion of
falling, I should cease to call upon thee, and, so should loose my soul. This
then is the grace I seek from thee, and I beg of thee, as far as I know how and
can, to obtain it for me, namely, in the assaults of hell, always to have
recourse to thee and to say to thee; O Mary, help me, Mother of Perpetual
Succor, suffer me not to lose my God. Amen.
