 Novena in Honor of Our Mother of Mothers Ant: Who is she that comes forth as beautiful as the rising dawn – as fair as the moon, as bright as the sun, as awe-inspiring as bannered troops arrayed! I am the Mother of Fair Love, and of peace, and of knowledge, and of holy hope. In me there is grace of the way and of the truth; in me there is hope of life and of virtue. Come over to me, all you who desire my blessings, and be filled with graces that are mine. For my spirit is sweeter than hone, and my gifts a delight beyond measure. My memory is unto everlasting generations. They who receive my graces shall hunger still; and they who drink according to my ways shall not sin. Those who explain me with love shall have life everlasting. Ant: Who is she that comes forth as beautiful as the rising dawn – as fair as the moon, as bright as the sun, as awe-inspiring as bannered troops arrayed! Let us pray: Most tender and loving Mother Mary, in union with you I adore the God of love and wisdom, whose tender mercies are manifest in you, his masterpiece of grace. And, while joyfully giving thanks for these mercies, I turn to you with confidence and love, begging you to join your powerful intercession to my poor prayers in order to obtain the blessings of motherhood that I seek. The responsibilities and needs of motherhood are great, and no mother knows this better than you. So confidently I look to you to obtain god’s abundant blessings on every phase of my motherhood, now and always. V. Pray for us, holy Mother Mary. R.
