NOVENA TO THE MOST MIRACULOUS MOTHER OF GOOD HEALTH
SHIVAJI NAGAR, BENGALURU.
Antiphon: O Most Miraculous Mother of Good Health, Our refuge and our health,
deliver us from everyday evil and give heed to our cries.
Introductory Opening Prayer: Mother Most Holy, our refuge and our strength, we
thank you for choosing to be present in this holy shrine at Shivaji nagar. Here you
dispense your favours to all who are needy and approach you with faith. As we stand
before you, look graciously upon us O Mother of mercy, compassion and good health.
Heal all our ailments both of body and soul. Through your powerful intercession may
everyone who comes here be freed from all evils and one day reach eternal heavenly
joy with you forever. Amen.
Novena Prayer of Petition: O Most Miraculous Mother of Good Health, We love you,
and by the love which we bear you, we promise ever in the future to serve you, to do
what lies in our power to bring others to your love. As you stood beneath the cross,
your son Our Lord Jesus said: ‘Behold your son’ and to the disciple: ‘behold your
mother’. With this confidence, we put all our trust and all our hope in your loving
protection, and as your sons and daughters, we beg of you to obtain from the Lord the
favours, we ask in humility and in obedience to God’s Holy Will I pray (pause and
present your petitions now). As you have recommended, we are ready ‘to do whatever
Jesus tells us to do’ and so we are confident that by your intercession we would
receive these favours along with your blessing and healing. O Most Miraculous Mother
of Good Health, pray for us.
