Novena Day 7

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 Seventh Sorrow of Mary: The Burial of Jesus Most sorrowful Virgin, sorrow again filled your heart when the sacred body of your Son was taken from your arms, and placed in a cold grave. Yet you did not doubt that He would rise again. Queen of Martyrs, let me join you in your sorrow, and grant me your own deep, trusting faith in the word of your Son. Let me trust that even in suffering, even when all seems lost, with Jesus there is always a way out. Obtain for me too, a sincere sorrow for all my sins, a burning love for my God, a tender devotion to you, so that one day, I may die in His grace and, with Him, rise to eternal life. 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.
