A Novena for the Annunciation – Day 5 – Mary, Mother of Justice

A novene up to our Lady of the Annunciation.

Day 5 Mary, Mother of Justice.

From the Holy Gospel, according to Luke, chapter 1 verses 31 and 32, you shall conceive

a bearer's son, and you shall call him Jesus.

You will be great, and shall be rightly called the Son of God.

Let us pray.

Almighty Father, you gave us Mary, the mother of our Savior, to be our model.

She inspires us to constantly reach out to one another.

We are called to anticipate the needs of those around us, perceive the cry of their heart,

bear their fears and their brokenness, and give hope to the hopeless and forsaken.

Teach us, Lord, how, when and where we must reach out to those in want and pain.

May our hearts be filled with your love, every yearning to serve you through others,

without counting the cost.

This we ask in Jesus' name, through the intercession of our Lady of the Annunciation.

Jesus, for our salvation you willingly humbled yourself, becoming man in the womb of the

Virgin Mother, grant me through the mystery of your holy incarnation the virtue of humility

that I may ever please God as your mother did, by meekness and lowliness in this world,

and be exalted by you and eternity.

Mary, dear mother of my Savior, I greet you, and I thank you for having received the

message of the Archangel Gabriel.

Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, and for having answered with your ascent.

Behold, the handmade of the Lord be a done unto me according to thy word.

Intercede for me that God the Father who accepted you as the daughter and the mother of his

son, because of your humility at the Annunciation, may accept me as his humble child.

Amen.
