Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Marilyn,
I have a question about this. If this Novena starts today then the ninth day of it will fall on the 10th but Lourdes is actually remembered on the 11th, right? Or am I counting wrong? I'm only asking because I'm pretty new to Novenas yet we love them and I really want to understand how they work.

Thanks!
Martha

Hi Martha - I am not an expert on Novenas - but generally a Novena is in preparation for a feast day and ends on theday before the feast day - hence this one would end on Feb 10th. I know of only one novena which ended on the feast day - and I cannot remember which one this is!!
