Novena to the Immaculate conception, Nov. 29-Dec. 7:
Prayer of St. Pius X
O most Holy Virgin, who was pleasing to God and did become His Mother, Immaculate in thy body, in thy soul, in thy faith, and in thy love, we beseech thee to look graciously upon the wretched who implore thy powerful protection. The wicked serpent, against whom the primal curse was hurled, continues nonetheless to wage war and to lay snares for the unhappy children of Eve. Ah, do thou, our Blessed Mother, our Queen and our Advocate, who from the first instant of thy conception, did crush the head of our enemy, receive the prayers that we unite single-heartedly to thine, and conjure thee to offer at the throne of God, that we may never fall into the snares that are laid for us, in such wise that we may all come to the haven of salvation, and in the midst of so many dangers, may Holy Church and the fellowship of Christians everywhere sing once more the hymn of deliverance, victory, and peace. Amen.

The Institute asks that you pray the Litany of Loreto and Tota Pulchra Es daily
with the novena prayer
