St. Mary of Jesus Crucified Novena: Day 7


Seventh Day: Charity
Opening prayer:
Holy Spirit, inspire me;
Love of God, consume me;
On the true path, lead me;
Mary my mother, look upon me;
With Jesus, bless me;
From all evil, from all illusion,
from all danger, preserve me.


Thoughts of Mariam:

It’s to the extent that you love your neighbor that I know how much You love me. If you do not love your neighbor, by that I know that you do not love Me.
Every time you consider your neighbor as a creature without Jesus, you fall very low. (“Thoughts”, p. 64)


We pray with Mariam:

O my God, I continue to live with my brothers and sisters in charity, as if I had only today to live with them.
Where charity prevails, there God is found. Let them be united, may there be charity. May all their hearts be united to You. (“Thoughts”, p. 68, 66)

Saint Mariam, please pray for me and for all my intentions. (Mention your requests in silence)

Our Father – Hail Mary – Glory


Final Prayer:

God, our Father, through the intercession of Saint Mariam, and through my trust in Your Divine Son, I present to you all my concerns. I do not know whether what I have asked is according to Your Holy Will, my Heavenly Father. So with Jesus in the garden of Getsemani I say:
“Thy will be done, not mine”
Be close to me through Your Beloved Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.


Amen.
