     "The devotion in this novena combines three things which are dear to God in a very remarkable scheme; frequent communion, the practice of the virtues, and devotion to Mary in the Rosary.   One who will carry it out faithfully will have besieged Heaven in a way that will make him heard...Rev. R. P. Lawrence

54 Day Miracle Novena
Our church history reveals to us that on March 3, 1884, Our Lady of Pompeii appeared before the gravely ill daughter of an Italian military officer.  Through her, Our Lady gave the world the miraculous devotion of the 54 days Rosary Novena. 

  My introduction to this
Beautiful Rosary Novena       

Over 18 years ago, I met a women on an airline flight,  she saw me praying the rosary and asked me if I have ever seen or heard of this particular book called "Rosary Novenas to Our Lady".   She mentioned that this book had been around since 1924 (the novena has been around since 1884...see above) I was intrigued.  We exchanged numbers, she was going to let me know where I could get a copy of the book.   Several months later, this woman happened to be in the city where I lived, she was attending a Catholic Teachers Conference.  She called me...I was surprised that she remembered us meeting and thankful to God that she did.  She told me where I could get a copy of the Novena.  I thanked her and a week later she sent me a copy of the Novena book herself...I know with every breath I take that I was meant to have this precious Novena to pray.  I immediately started to pray the novena...it was hard at first to get use to...at that time in my life...I went to daily mass and said my prayers, but work was busy and stressful.  It was hard to find the time to really focus on the novena without being so tired.  But I felt it was something that Our Sweet Holy  Mother was calling me to do...I kept as faithful as I could to the novena...there were days that I failed but I kept going until I finished.  There was a tremendous sense of peace inside of me during and after I recited this novena.  If you had any petitions when you prayed this novena...you didn't worry about them at all.  
 

 Why I call this a "Miracle Novena"

After each mystery there is a special grace...of a virtue, reflecting the mystery said.   You can not go away from reciting this rosary novena empty (not fulfilled) the virtues alone...will bring the peace of God in your heart.  Also...when we ask for anything that is in God's will...He promised to give it to us...all the virtues are of His will...a tremendous blessing.   As I prayed this rosary...I could not help but feel the love I was expressing to our Precious Mother Mary.  Each bouquet of Roses is a gift you can give Our Mother.   To be able to give our Mother a gift is a grace in itself. 
I know from my heart that if you say this novena...you will be blessed in a very special way...Our Mother has promised us her blessings...and she has been true to her word.  This novena is a 54 day novena 27 days of petition and 27 days of thanks giving (equal to 6 nine day novenas).   With praying each decade of prayer we are reminded of the mystery of the rosary as well as the intention of the grace and virtue that the Holy Trinity meant for us to have through the prayers and intercession of our Precious Mother in Heaven.  This prayer became a way of life for me...when I finished my first 54 days...I felt a strong urge to start right back up again...and it stayed that way up until the day of my accident in 2003. 

The day of my accident...my husband was told that two inches forward or backward for my car I would have been dead...as he emptied the car...to drop it off  for repair...He saw the picture I had of the Blessed Mother over my visor...I know who protected me that day.  Thank you, Mother...I love you!  I miss reciting this novena for myself.  Since my injury I can not read a book very well...I am able to look at a computer screen with the letters enlarged and read for little bits of time.   It is much easier for me to  pray and follow the words on the screen.  Also before my injury...I had the novena almost memorized.  After my head injury I could no longer remember...even the prayers from my youth...like the Our Father or Hail Mary would hurt my head to recite the next line.  I know Our Precious Mother Mary, wants me to share this Rosary Novena with you...I have thought about this for very long time... how to make it easy to read for myself and others like myself, as well as all of God's children.  I hope you are all able to follow along...if you have any questions please message me...I will try to help you the best I am able. 


 Dear Jesus...I thank you from the bottom of my heart...for permission granted by, Charles Fiore, with ACTA Publications to put this beautiful novena prayer on my website...this awesome novena has been around since 1925 and  was  recently revised by the publishers to include the Mysteries of Light.

Say:

(1)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, Amen.

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To Thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To Thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, Thine eyes of mercy towards us. And after this our exile, show unto us the blessed Fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. Oh clement, Oh loving, Oh sweet Virgin Mary.
Pray for us, Oh Holy Mother of God.
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.


O God! Whose only-begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the reward of eternal life; grant, we beseech Thee, that, meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise.  Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

May the divine assistance remain always with us.  Amen. And may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen

Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.

Holy Virgin, with the loving Child, thy blessing give to us
 this day (night).
