PAGE 1 OF 5
Ajing- First Meditation:
"The Fiat and the Amen"
By offering her womb for the Incarnation of
God’s Word, Mary lived her Eucharistic faith
even before the institution of the Eucharist. At
the Annunciation, when Mary conceived the
Son of God, she foreshadowed what happens to
us when we receive Holy Communion. As a
result, according to Blessed John Paul II,
“there is a profound analogy between the Fiat
which Mary said in reply to the angel and the
Amen which every believer says when receiving
the Body of the Lord”. Although we sometimes
forget the significance of our response to the
words “The Body of Christ”, by replying
“Amen” we are expressing our belief that Jesus
is truly present in the Eucharist. Mary’s belief
in the mystery of the Annunciation (“Blessed is
she who believed”) anticipates the Church’s
belief in the Eucharist..
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, You spoke to Mary through an
Angel to invite her to participate in the plan of
salvation. Though she questioned how it was
possible for her to become the mother of the
Messiah, and she knew she faced rejection
from Joseph and others, she gave You her yes.
With the help of her prayers, I want to become
fully willing to say yes to my part in giving
Christ to the world. Encourage me when I
don't understand what You're asking. Bless
me with grace of hearing the call and the
courage to trust in Your plan. Let it be done
unto me according to Your will. Holy Mary,
Mother of God, pray for me. Amen
Rosie - Second Meditation :
"The Magnificat"
The Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth, the gift of
her life—a life filled with the grace of the Holy
Spirit, a life filled with the powerful gifts of the
Heavenly Father in the Divine Son incarnate.
Mary truly becomes a reflection of the Lord,
shining forth from her holy vessel, bathing
Elizabeth, Saint John the Baptist, and each of
us, in the glorious light of heaven.
According to Blessed Pope John Paul II, “in
the Eucharist the Church is completely united
to Christ and His sacrifice and makes her own
the spirit of Mary. This truth can be understood
more deeply by re-reading the Magnificat in a
Eucharistic key”. He points out that when Mary
proclaims “My soul magnifies the Lord and my
spirit rejoices in God my Savior”, she is
praising God “through” Jesus (who is in her
womb), “in” Jesus and “with” Jesus. This, he
observes, is the true “Eucharistic attitude” and
that “the Eucharist has been given to us so that
our life, like that of Mary, may become
completely a Magnificat”. In doing so, we unite
our voice with that of Mary and allow our often
weak faith to be infused by her perfect and
unfailing faith!
V. Novena leader ask the congregation to
sing. HYMN – “Here I am To
Worship”
Prayer:
Almighty God, by whose grace Elizabeth
rejoiced with Mary and greeted her as the
mother of the Lord look with favor, we
beseech thee, on thy lowly servants, that, with
Mary, we may magnify thy holy name and
PAGE 2 OF 5
rejoice to acclaim her Son our Savior, who
liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of
the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen
Maluz- Third Meditation:
"The Child to be born will be called Holy, the
Son of God"
Jesus, the Son of God, comes into the world in
the most lowly and humble of places. He is
born in a stable among livestock and laid in a
manger. It is interesting to note that the word
Bethlehem means "house of bread" and Jesus
the "Bread of Life" (John 6:35) was born there
and laid in a manger, a feeding through for
animals.
This account is a fore shadow of the Institution
of the Eucharist. The shepherds are the first to
see Jesus. The King of kings and Lord of lords
humbles Himself to be born in a manger and to
have among his first visitors' simple shepherds.
Mary is also truly humble. She says not a word.
She does not seek attention or praise, rather the
Bible says, she "kept all these things pondering
them in her heart." -Luke 2:20
Prayer:
God the Father, Thank you for sending your
only Son to the world to save my soul.
Help me to appreciate this great gift from you
and to share it with others that they may too
come to know your Son Jesus.
As the events in the life of Jesus unfold, guide
me along His ways and to never stray from
His message of peace and love.
Amen.
X. Novena leader instructs the congregation
to be seated for a couple of moments of
silence.
Bro. Robert - Fourth Meditation:
"A sword will pierce your heart"
How great was the shock to Mary's Heart at
hearing the sorrowful words, in which holy
Simeon told the bitter Passion and death of her
sweet Jesus, He said, "Behold, this child is set
for the fall and rising again of many in Israel;
and for a sign which shall be spoke against;
(yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own
soul, also; that the thoughts of many hearts
may be revealed." Since in that same moment
she realized in her mind all the insults, blows,
and torments which the impious men were to
offer to the Redeemer of the world. But a still
sharper sword pierced her soul. It was the
thought of men's ingratitude to her beloved
Son. Now consider that because of your sins
you are unhappily among the ungrateful.
XI. Novena leader pauses a few seconds and
instructs the congregation to sing for the
HYMN- "THE POWER OF YOUR
LOVE"
Prayer:
Most holy Virgin and Mother, whose soul was
pierced by a sword of sorrow in the Passion of
thy divine Son, and who in His glorious
Resurrection was filled with never-ending joy
at His triumph; obtain for us who call upon
thee, so to be partakers in the adversities of
Holy Church and the sorrows of the Sovereign
Pontiff, as to be found worthy to rejoice with
them in the consolation for which we pray, in
the charity and peace of the same Christ our
Lord. Amen.
Maluz - Fifth Meditation:
"I must be in my Father’s House”
Finally after three long days, they came to the
temple in Jerusalem, and there they saw Jesus
among the scribes and Pharisees, talking with
them with his wisdom and knowledge. Joseph
and Mary felt at once an awesome sense of
PAGE 3 OF 5
relief and joy. And Mary said: "Son, why hast
thou done so to us? Behold thy father and I
have sought thee sorrowing." Jesus answered
her with almost a rebuke: "How is it that you
sought me? Did you not know that I must be
about my father's business? We are told in the
next verse, that "they understood not the word
that he spoke unto them."
We too, like Joseph and Mary here, often do
not understand why God acts in our lives as he
does. We should always reach out to our
Mother of Sorrows, knowing that she has a
better understanding of our pain and feelings of
loss than even we ourselves do. And she wants
to comfort us just as any mother wants to
comfort her children.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, God almighty, let me remember
with great joy the times I have found Jesus
after I had gone astray.
Thank you for your great example of doing
the will of your Father, so I, in turn can
follow your perfect example.
Grant me that in all my quests for knowledge
and peace, I may never suffer the loss of Jesus
the only source of true peace.
Amen
Ajing - Sixth Meditation:
"Woman, how does your concern affect me?
My hour has not yet come.”
Mary and Jesus were at a wedding in Galilee in
an area called Cana. The hosts ran out of wine.
Mary went to Jesus and told him they had no
wine. Jesus responded to her, "Woman, what is
that to me and to you? My hour is not yet
come."
Mary did not respond. Rather she went to the
waiters and told them, "Do whatever He tells
you." Her remark proves that she knew He was
about to perform a miracle. She knew that he
would fulfil her request. Jesus instructed the
servants to fill some huge pots with water.
Because of Mary's advice they obeyed. He told
them to draw some water from the freshly filled
pots and take it to the head servant. They again
obeyed and were amazed to see that the water
was miraculously turned into wine. The head
servant not knowing what had occurred went to
the bride and groom and congratulated them
on serving the best wine last. As the Bible
states, Jesus first miracle "manifested his glory,
and his disciples believed in him."
Prayer:
Dear God, your greatness is shown through
the miracles of Jesus, letting the world realize
that you are very real.
Thank you for all the little miracles that you
have allowed to happen in my life. I know that
You will provide for me in all that I need.
Help me turn to Your Mother in confidence in
the knowledge that You would deny her
nothing and that she as a loving mother will
protect and guide me.
Amen.
Rosie - Seventh Meditation: Leader
"Woman, behold thy Son.”
Our Lady carried such responsibility; in her
womb, in her upbringing of the Saviour of the
World, in her faithful following of her Son’s
ministry.
We give honour to Our Lady because she is a
model for us of humankind’s response to God
in faith. So often we find our own faith
obstructed by practicalities and earthly
considerations: other things to do or say and
God’s call to us buried amid the uproar of
daily life and work. Our Lady’s response was
to say yes to God without thought or
consideration or reference to earthly concerns.
PAGE 4 OF 5
For this faith, Our Lady is rewarded with a
further task: as the beloved disciple is
commended to her, so we are commended to
her care and her intercession, for we are all
brothers and sisters in Christ.
We pray alongside Our Lady, our adoptive
mother to God, asking her intercession for
those things in our lives which need the Grace
of God to help us through: the sicknesses, the
anxieties, the worldly concerns. We pray that
our response may also be “be it done unto me
according to thy word”.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, the presence of your mother at the
cross engages my heart. You are no longer
only the Savior dying for the sins of the world.
You are also a fully human man, a son with a
mother.
O Lord, how can I begin to thank you for
what you suffered? My words fall short. My
thoughts seem superficial and vague.
Nevertheless, I offer my sincere gratitude for
your suffering. Thank you for bearing my sin
on the cross. I give you my praise, my love, my
heart . . . all that I am, because you have given
me all that you are.
All praise be to you, Lord Jesus, fully God and
fully human, Savior of the world . . . my
Savior! Amen.
XII. Instructs the congregation to stand and
sing Song for Mother Mary. HYMN:
Hail Mary
Bro. Robert - Prayer for the Spread of
Perpetual Adoration
Heavenly Father, increase our faith in the
Real Presence of Your Son Jesus Christ in
the Holy Eucharist. We are obliged to adore
Him, to give Him thanks and to make
reparation for sins. We need your peace in
our hearts and among nations. We need
conversion from our sins and the mercy of
Your forgiveness. May we obtain this
through prayer and our union with the
Eucharistic Lord. Please send down the Holy
Spirit upon all peoples to give them the love,
courage, strength and willingness to respond
to the invitation to Eucharistic Adoration.
We beseech You to spread Perpetual
Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament in
parishes around the world. We ask this in the
name of Jesus the Lord. Amen
Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament,
the joy of the universal church, and the hope
of the world, pray for us. Kindle in all
faithful a lively devotion to the most Holy
Eucharist, so that they may all be made
worthy to receive Holy Communion every
day. Pray for us O Virgin Immaculate, Our
Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament. That
the Eucharistic Kingdom of Jesus Christ
may come among us! Mary, dearest Mother
lend me all the love of your hearts and the
love of all the angels and saints with which

pray, to love, to make reparation and to
adore the loving Hearts of Jesus„so often
abandoned,,,(paused 2 seconds) hidden in
the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.
