Novena to the Mother of the Forsaken
- Mother of the he forsaken, take under your motherly care all those whom the world despises and forsakes (Hail Mary)
- Advocate before God, of the entire Holy Church, protect her in all her needs and come to the aid of her visible Head, our Holy Father the Pope (Hail Mary)
- Queen of Heaven and Earth and Queen of our India, protect our nation and help our rulers in the happy solution of the problems that confront them today. (Hail Mary)
- Immaculate Patroness of these mission lands, spread the mantle of your protection over them and lead all their children to the Heart of your Divine Son. (Hail Mary)
- Fountain of Consolation to all your devoted children, make us always feel the effect of your motherly protection in all things and more essentially now in this favor for which we pray ( here let each one think of the special grace desired in this Novena) We know you will obtain it for us from your Son, if it is for our own good and we leave it confidently in your hands and His. May you above all, obtain for us perseverance in the faith and in the love of your Divine Son, and do not forsake us now and at the hour of our death, but after this our exile show unto us in heaven the blessed fruit of your womb Jesus, O Clement, O Loving, O Sweet Virgin Mary. (Hail Mary)
The Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known as that any one who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother! To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate! despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God!
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray
O God, who has deigned to bless us with the favor of venerating the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of "Mother of the Forsaken", and has willed to bestow so much power on her intercession that no one should be abandoned who has has recourse to her motherly help! Grant we beseech you to us, your servants, the privilege that we all, who put ourselves under the protection of so exalted a Mother, may never be forsaken by your Divine Mercy, Through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
