December 16, 2012 by Gerard M. Nadal

As we continue our nine days of prayer, please leave your supportive messages for the folks in Newtown and Sandy Hook in the comments section here on the blog. They’ll be seeing them, I assure you. Each night as we pray for the entire community, we’ll lift up in a special way different groups within that population. Thanks for joining in. God Bless you and your loved ones.

Day 1 here.

Prayer

Be blessed, O most pure Virgin, for having vouchsafed to manifest your shining with life, sweetness and beauty, in the Grotto of Lourdes, saying to the child, St. Bernadette: “I am the Immaculate Conception.” A thousand times we congratulate you upon your Immaculate Conception. And now, O ever Immaculate Virgin, Mother of mercy, Health of the sick, Refuge of sinners, Comforter of the afflicted, you know our wants, our troubles, our sufferings deign to cast upon us a look of mercy.

DAY TWO

Be blessed, O most pure Virgin, for having vouchsafed to manifest yourself shining with light, sweetness and beauty, in the Grotto of Lourdes, saying to the child Saint Bernadette: “I am the Immaculate Conception!” O Mary Immaculate, inflame our hearts with one ray of the burning love of your pure heart Let them be consumed with love for Jesus and for you, in order that we may merit one day to enjoy your glorious eternity. O dispenser of His graces here below, take into your keeping and present to your Divine Son the petition for which we are making this novena.

As we gather tonight, we lift up for healing all those police, fire, and paramedic first responders, as well as the coroners whose duty required that they spent hours beholding and processing the terrible scene, and who will be haunted by those visions for the rest of their lives. We ask for healing and peace for these heroic men and women, and for peace in their homes and with their families; that your Son, the Prince of Peace, will quell their traumatized hearts and minds and fill them with His peace, which is beyond all understanding.

O Brilliant star of purity, Mary Immaculate, Our Lady of Lourdes, glorious in your assumption, triumphant in your coronation, show unto us the mercy of the Mother of God, Virgin Mary, Queen and Mother, be our comfort, hope, strength, and consolation. Amen.

Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.

Saint Bernadette, pray for us.

    God love and keep you all. Please know that there is no pain, no sorrow, no woundedness, and no trauma into whose depths Our Lord has not ventured further than anyone ever has or ever will. He is waiting for you in the pain to give you healing, to give you peace — and that you may encounter Him in His infinite love for you and for all humanity.
