The
Miraculous 54-Day Rosary Novena
Whoever desires to obtain favors from Me should make three novenas of the prayers of the Rosary, and three novenas in thanksgiving.” - Promise of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary
On March 3, 1884, Our Lady of Pompeii appeared before the gravely ill daughter
of an Italian military officer and, through her, gave the world a new devotion
of tremendous power.
For over a year, Fortuna Agrelli had been in great
distress and even near-death. Indeed, her case had been given up as
hopeless by the most celebrated physicians. In desperation, on February
16, the afflicted girl and her family began a novena of Rosaries.
Two weeks later, the Queen of the Holy Rosary
appeared before Fortuna one evening. Sitting upon a high throne, surrounded by
luminous figures, Our Lady was holding the Divine Child on Her lap and a Rosary
in Her hand. Both were arrayed in golden garments and were accompanied by Sts.
Dominic and Catherine of Siena.
“Child, your faith has pleased Me.” Our Lady said
to Fortuna, “Whoever desires to obtain favors from Me should make three novenas
of the prayers of the Rosary, and three novenas in thanksgiving.”
Obedient to Our Lady’s command, Fortuna and her
family completed the six novenas whereupon the young girl was restored to
perfect health and her family showered with many blessings.
How to Say the Miraculous Rosary Novena
The Novena consists of five decades of the Rosary
each day for twenty-seven days in petition; then immediately five decades each day
for an additional twenty-seven days in thanksgiving, whether or not the request
has been granted. The meditations vary
from day to day. On the first day meditate on the Joyful Mysteries; on the
second day the Sorrowful Mysteries; on the third day the Glorious Mysteries; on the fourth day
meditate again on the Joyful Mysteries; and so on throughout the fifty-four
days.
