Join in praying the Our Lady of Pompei Novena with devotion and trust.
Today's Focus: Gospel of Life
On this first day of the Our Lady of Pompei Novena, we focus on praying that our choices reflect the Gospel of Life. We ask Our Lady to help us make decisions that honor and protect the sanctity of human life.
Prayer for Day 1
Intention
That our choices reflect the Gospel of Life. For our families. For peace in our country and in the world.
Prayer to Our Lady of Pompei
'O Blessed Rosary of Mary, sweet chain which unites us to God, bond of love which unites us to the angels, tower of salvation against the assaults of Hell, safe port in our universal shipwreck, we will never abandon you. You will be our comfort in the hour of death: yours our final kiss as life ebbs away. And the last word from our lips will be your sweet name, O Queen of the Rosary of Pompei, O dearest Mother, O Refuge of Sinners, O Sovereign Consoler of the Afflicted. May you be everywhere blessed, today and always, on earth and in heaven'.
Reflection
The Gospel of Life calls us to respect and protect all human life from conception to natural death. Our Lady of Pompei helps us to make choices that reflect this sacred truth and to be witnesses of life in a culture that often devalues it.
As we reflect on this aspect of our devotion to Our Lady of Pompei, let us ask ourselves how we can better honor her as Queen of the Rosary and seek her powerful intercession for our needs.
May Our Lady of Pompei continue to bless us with her maternal care and lead us closer to her Son, Jesus Christ, through the power of the Holy Rosary.
