Novena Day 2

Thank you for joining us in prayer for justice and healing in our Church. Together, we pray this novena to Our Lady of Sorrows, for the following intentions:

Healing for all victims of clergy sexual abuse, and for victims’ families from pain caused by clergy, consecrated religious and lay leaders in the Church
Justice for perpetrators of evil in the Church
Renewal at all levels in the Catholic Church
Mary’s intercession on behalf of all who are suffering

Today's Prayer: Prayer in honor of the Second Sorrow of Mary: The Flight into Egypt Most sorrowful Mother, Your mother’s heart brimmed over with sorrow at the hate of Herod for your innocent Son. To save Him from the king’s jealousy, you had to flee with Him to Egypt. Your heart also suffered at seeing the suffering of your holy spouse, Saint Joseph, at the prospect of taking the divine babe and you, his delicate spouse, into the wilderness and the unknown. Queen of Martyrs let me unite my heart to yours in this sorrow, and obtain for me the grace to avoid those who wish me evil, above all evil to my soul. Let me avoid temptations and never leave the difficult but royal road to heaven. Hail Mary, full of grace the Lord is with Thee, blessed art Thou among women and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
