The Catholic Defender: Our Lady of the Rosary Novena - Day 5

DAY FIVE: WE PRAY FOR THE PURITY OF THE HEART

The Ever-Virgin Mary was and remains pure in charity, chastity and love of truth and orthodoxy of faith. And that purity is divine because it is inspired by God! Each of us benefits from the purity of Mary, regardless of how difficult it is to be pure in charity, chastity and right belief,IT IS POSSIBLE… We WILL be pure when we adopt the attitude of Our Blessed Lady and seek the divine purity that even yet radiates from Her. By abandoning ourselves to God as She did, we open ourselves to fresh opportunities of achieving purity.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us Your mother as Our Lady of the Rosary. Help us to turn to her as our mother in all of our needs!

Our Lady of the Rosary, Pope Pius V called upon your powerful intercession in a time of great need for Christianity. A Christian defeat at the Battle of Lepanto would have greatly hindered the practice of the faith for a large part of the world. Your intercession helped preserve the faith against those who were hostile to it.

Please bring all of our needs before the throne of your Divine Son, and we particularly ask today that you pray for all persecuted Christians!

Pray for us, that we may always practice our faith courageously. Pray that we love God with greater devotion each day.
