My Peace I Give You
The Nine-Month Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe
12 March to 12 December, 2024
O Virgin Mother of God, we fly to your protection and beg your
intercession against the darkness and sin which ever more envelop the
world and menace the Church. Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, gave
you to us as our mother as He died on the Cross for our salvation. So,
too, in 1531, when darkness and sin beset us, He sent you, as Our Lady
of Guadalupe, on Tepeyac to lead us to Him Who alone is our light and
our salvation.
Through your apparitions on Tepeyac and your abiding presence
with us on the miraculous mantle of your messenger, Saint Juan Diego,
millions of souls converted to faith in your Divine Son. Through
this novena and our consecration to you, we humbly implore your
intercession for our daily conversion of life to Him and the conversion
of millions more who do not yet believe in Him. In our homes and in
our nation, lead us to Him Who alone wins the victory over sin and
darkness in us and in the world.
Unite our hearts to your Immaculate Heart so that they may find
their true and lasting home in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Ever guide
us along the pilgrimage of life to our eternal home with Him. So may
our hearts, one with yours, always trust in God's promise of salvation,
in His never-failing mercy toward all who turn to Him with a humble
and contrite heart. Through this novena and our consecration to you,
O Virgin of Guadalupe, lead all souls in America and throughout the
world to your Divine Son in Whose name we pray. Amen.
Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke
