Immaculate Conception Novena - Day 1 (From EWTN)

I am not going to lie... I am copy and pasting from EWTN.com ... but I am doing so in an attempt to get people to join in this Novena. If you forgot that today [yesterday for most of you reading this] is the first day of the Novena, don't fret, just do part in the morning and part at night.

For those that don't know... the Novena is a nine (9) day prayer. The last day is said on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. This is a GREAT ADVENT prayer to do with your family. It is short and meaningful! An easy way to add prayer to your family during the holiday and to remember the HOLYday.






PRAYER TO THE
IMMACULATE CONCEPTION


O God,  who by the Immaculate Conception
of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
did prepare a worthy dwelling place for Your Son,
we beseech You that, as by the foreseen death of this, Your Son, You did preserve Her from all stain,
so too You would permit us, purified through Her intercession,  to come unto You.
Through the same Lord Jesus Christ,  Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, world without end.

Amen.





First, recite the Prayer to the Immaculate Conception.
Then, recite the appropriate prayer of each of the nine days.





Day One
O most Holy Virgin, who was pleasing to the Lord and became His mother, immaculate in body and spirit, in faith and in love, look kindly on me as I implore your powerful intercession. O most Holy Mother, who by your blessed Immaculate Conception, from the first moment of your conception did crush the head of the enemy, receive our prayers as we implore you to present at the throne of God the favor we now request...
(State your intention here...) 
O Mary of the Immaculate Conception, Mother of Christ, you had influence with your Divine Son while upon this earth; you have the same influence now in heaven. Pray for us and obtain for us from him the granting of my petition if it be the Divine Will.
Amen.
