1 A NOVENA TO THE BLESSED MOTHER FOR SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION I am the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother and Reconciler of people and nations. I come with my son Jesus in my arms to reconcile each of you. Forgive one another. Love one another. Serve one another. -Betania, Venezuela The Blessed Mother has appeared to numerous individuals and has delivered messages in many nations of the earth. In our current world of upheaval and uncertainty, it behooves us to heed her admonishments and to claim our nations and world for Christ, and to lift one another unto His Divine Presence. This Novena was created for everyone that reveres the Blessed Mother and who desires to transform their personal lives, their families, communities, and the world. Each petition is designed to evoke in prayer divine intercession for the fulfillment of God s kingdom come on earth in a new era of peace, respect, and brotherly love. Jesus admonished us to, Be ye perfect as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:48) We therefore approach the Blessed Mother with humble hearts but with powerful spirits made perfect in Christ. In keeping with Paul s teaching in Romans 6:22, the ending of the Hail Mary is different from the traditional version: But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

2 NOVENA TO THE BLESSED MOTHER Pray this novena in your church or in your home, with others or alone, daily or whenever your schedule permits. With each petition, offer to the Blessed Mother specific situations that are in need of healing or change. Then release your prayer, and think only of it being answered with the perfect result. Salutation Ask and it shall be given you Luke 11:9. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, in the name of the Blessed Mother, Amen. The Lord s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. Prayer to the Blessed Mother O Blessed Mother, who stood with our Lord at the time of his crucifixion until his resurrection and ascension, be with us in this hour as we claim Christ s victory as our own. We petition your Immaculate Heart for the awakening of the spirit of God s sons and daughters the world around. May we be quickened to accept our Lord s admonishment that the kingdom of God is within us, and may we embrace our responsibility of being the hands and feet of our Lord through whom his kingdom shall come on earth. Hear our prayer, Blessed Mother, and strengthen us in our resolve to restore this earth and her people to the purity and integrity that was given us in the beginning.

For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: For, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. He hath shown strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.

8 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. Amen.
