Supplication to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal

 

SUPPLICA TO BE RECITED TODAY

To be prayed at 5 p.m. on November 27th, Feast of the Miraculous Medal, and in urgent necessities, any day, at that time.

O Immaculate Virgin, we know that always and everywhere you are willing to listen to the prayers of your exiled children in this valley of tears, but we also know that you have days and times in which you are pleased to spread more abundantly the treasures of your graces. And so, very well, O Mary, here we are, prostrate before You, precisely in that blessed day and time, chosen by you in the manifestation of your Medal.

We come to You, full of immense gratitude and unlimited confidence in this hour so beloved by You, to give you thanks for the great gift which you have bestowed upon us, giving us Your image, with the goal that it be for us living testimony of affection and your garment of protection. We promise you that, in accord with your wish, the holy Medal will be the sign of your presence, together with us; it will be our book by which we will learn to know, by your counsel, how much you have loved us, and what we must do so as to not render useless your many sacrifices, and those of Your Divine Son. Yes, your pierced Heart, represented in the Medal, takes possession always of our own and will make ours beat in unison with Yours. Our heart will be enflamed with love for Jesus and Your Heart will strengthen ours to be able to carry the cross behind Him each day.

This is your hour, O Mary, the hour of your inexhaustible goodnesss, of your mercy triumphant, the hour in which you birthed, through your Medal, that torrent of graces and prodigies that flooded the earth. Make this hour, O Mother, in which we remember you be the sweet stirring of your Heart, which moved you to come visit us and to bring us the remedy of so many evils. Make this hour also be our hour, the hour of our sincere conversion, the hour in which we will fully hear your will.

You, who have rightly promised in this fortunate hour that, many would be the graces received for those who ask with confidence: turn your eyes with kindness towards our supplications. We confess not meriting your graces; but to whom shall we turn, O Mary, if not to you, who are our Mother, in whose hands God has placed all his graces? Have therefore pity on us. We ask this by your Immaculate Conception, and for the love that moved you to give us Your Precious Medal. O, consoler of the afflicted, who has already been endeared by our wounds, look at the evils that oppress us.

Let your Medal shower over us and all our loved ones your beatific rays: cure our sick, give peace to our families, liberate us of all danger. May your Medal bring relief to those who suffer, console the ones who cry, and give light and strength to all. We especially ask you for the conversion of sinners, particularly for those who are our most beloved. Remember that for them you have suffered, have pleaded and cried. Save us, O Refuge of Sinners, with the goal that after we have all loved, invoked and served you on earth, we may be able to thank you and praise you eternally in Heaven. Amen.

Litany of Thanksgiving by Pope Pius VI

 

Lord, have mercy on me.

Christ, have mercy on me.

Lord, have mercy on me.

God, the Father of heaven, have mercy on me.

God the Son, Redeemer of the world, have mercy on me.

Holy Ghost, true God have mercy on me.

Holy Trinity, one God, have mercy on me.

Thou Who hast from all eternity decreed the good which Thou hast hast done me,

have mercy on me. *

Thou Who for my individual benefit hast displayed Thy omnipotence, wisdom, and goodness, *

Thou, Who each instant loadest me with new favors, *

Thou, Who even when I offended Thee, didst not withdraw from me Thy liberal hand, *

For creating me in preference to so many others, and making me to Thy image,

I thank Thee, O my God. **

For raising me to a supernatural end, and giving me an immortal soul, **

For making me capable of knowing, loving, and possessing Thee forever. **

For providing me with a healthy body, undeformed limbs, and undisturbed senses, **

For appointing so many creatures to serve me, **

For giving me an angel as my guide and protector, **

For having preserved and nourished me, like a good father, to this day, **

For having redeemed me from hell by the passion, and death of Thy Son, **

For having called me to the Catholic Church; for having instituted the seven sacraments for my salvation, and for having afforded me so many other means of salvation, **

For not having yet rejected nor condemned me after my committing so many offenses, **

For having preserved me from innumerable evils, both spiritual and corporal, for having given such abundant blessing to my affairs, my labors, and undertakings, **

For all Thy grace and all thy benefits, natural and supernatural, **

For the pains, exterior and interior, by which Thou hast tried me, for the paternal chastisements and corrections by which Thou hast warned me, **

For all the benefits which I have not yet well considered; for all the graces which I have, alas, abused; for all the graces and benefits which Thou wouldst have granted me had not my malice prevented, **

For all the graces and all the benefits which Thou hast granted to the holy angels and all Thy elect, for all the graces and all the benefits which Thou hast granted to all other men, Thy creatures, **

In union with the thanksgiving which the Church militant on earth has rendered Thee and will render Thee hereafter, **

In union with the thanksgiving which the Church triumphant in heaven has rendered Thee and will render Thee eternally, **

Let us pray:

O God Who hast vouchsafed to display in me, the most unworthy of Thy creatures, Thy admirable liberality, I pray Thee, by Thy tender goodness, to add to Thy numberless benefits this grace, that I may in the future be truly grateful for them, and employ them for my salvation and my neighbor's good, in order that by their good use, and by grateful and reciprocal love I may deserve to arrive where, with all Thy Saints, I shall enjoy Thy love, and praise Thee forever. Amen.

A Prayer for the Souls in Purgatory

 

O most gentle Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the souls of Thy departed servants. Be not severe in Thy judgments, but let some drops of Thy Precious Blood fall upon the devouring flames. And do Thou, O Merciful Saviour, send Thy holy angels to conduct them to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen
