Storm Novena

Storm Novena

This novena is called the storm novena, because you are storming heaven with your prayers. To be said at the top of 9 consecutive hours, in front of the Blessed Sacrament. Pray on your knees, with arms outstretched.
The first visit pray an act of Perfect Contrition:

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance and to amend my life. Amen.

To which are then added the following invocations at each visit:

1. O Sacred Heart of Jesus -- have mercy on us and grant us our request.

2. Our Lady of Perpetual Help -- pray for us and obtain our request.

3. The Memorare: Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession was left unaided.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy clemency hear and answer me. Amen.
