Novena to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

by

A novena to her Immaculate Heart is a powerful way to obtain graces for ourselves, our families, South Africa, and the triumph of her Heart in the world.

At Fatima Our Lady promised:

“In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.”

This Novena is traditionally prayed for 9 days before the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in June, which follows the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the Friday.

The Novena Prayers are the same for each day.

NOVENA PRAYERS 

 

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

 

Immaculate Virgin, by the holy will of your Son my Lord Jesus Christ, you are my Mother in Heaven. Your Immaculate Heart is full of love, mercy and compassion for sinners like me. I ask that you intercede for me today for… (mention your prayer intentions)

I trust in your intercession before the throne of God for my needs. Please pray also that if my requests are not in accordance with the will of God, that I may be, like you, conformed to His will and not my own.

Hail Mary…

Immaculate Heart of Mary. Pray for us!

Amen.

 

Act of Consecration

 – by Pope Pius XII

 

Most Holy Virgin Mary, tender Mother of men, to fulfil the desires of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the request of the Vicar of Your Son on earth, we consecrate ourselves and our families to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, O Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and we recommend to You, all the people of our country and all the world.

Please accept our consecration, dearest Mother, and use us as You wish to accomplish Your designs in the world.

O Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and Queen of the World, rule over us, together with the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, Our King. Save us from the spreading flood of modern paganism; kindle in our hearts and homes the love of purity, the practice of a virtuous life, an ardent zeal for souls, and a desire to pray the Rosary more faithfully.

We come with confidence to You, O Throne of Grace and Mother of Fair Love. Inflame us with the same Divine Fire which has inflamed Your own Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart. Make our hearts and homes Your shrine, and through us, make the Heart of Jesus, together with your rule, triumph in every heart and home. Amen.

 

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

Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost

by

O LORD JESUS CHRIST, Who before ascending into Heaven didst promise to send the Holy Ghost to finish Thy work in the souls of Thine Apostles and Disciples, deign to grant the same Holy Spirit to me, that He may perfect in my soul the work of Thy grace and Thy love.

Grant me the Spirit of Wisdom, that I may despise the perishable things of this world and aspire only after the things that are eternal;

the Spirit of Understanding, to enlighten my mind with the light of Thy Divine truth;

the Spirit of Counsel, that I may ever choose the surest way of pleasing God and gaining Heaven;

the Spirit of Fortitude, that I may bear my cross with Thee and that I may overcome with courage all the obstacles that oppose my salvation;

the Spirit of Knowledge, that I may know God and know myself and grow perfect in the science of the Saints;

the Spirit of Piety, that I may find the service of God sweet and amiable;

the Spirit of Fear, that I may be filled with a loving reverence towards God and may dread in any way to displease Him.

Mark me, Dear Lord, with the sign of Thy true disciples, and animate me in all things with Thy Spirit. Amen.

Act of Oblation to the Holy Spirit

by

ON MY KNEES before the great cloud of heavenly witnesses, I offer myself body and soul to Thee, eternal Spirit of God. I adore the brightness of Thy purity, the unerring keenness of Thy justice and the might of Thy love.

Thou art the strength and light of my soul.

In Thee I live and move and have my being.

I desire never to grieve Thee by unfaithfulness to grace, and I pray with all my heart to be kept from the smallest sin against Thee.

Make me faithful in every thought, and grant that I may always listen to Thy voice, watch for Thy light, and follow Thy gracious inspirations.

I cling to Thee and give myself to Thee, and I ask Thee by Thy compassion to watch over me in my weakness.

Holding the pierced feet of Jesus, looking at His five Wounds, trusting in His Precious Blood and adoring His opened side and stricken Heart, I implore Thee, adorable Spirit, Helper of my infirmity, so to keep me in Thy grace that I may never sin against Thee with the sin which Thou wilt not forgive.

Grant to me the grace, O Holy Spirit, Spirit of the Father and of the Son, to say to Thee always and everywhere, “Speak, Lord, for Thy servant hears.” Amen.

2026 Roses to Our Lady of Guadalupe

by

Thousands of Roses Delivered to Our Lady

South Africa Needs Our Lady (SANOL) has sent hundreds of roses for the past three years to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico. This has kindly been facilitated by our sister organisation in America. Here below is some interesting feedback from our friends Lora and Megan about their experiences and those of visitors they met at the shrine during February this year.

For six years, America Needs Fatima (ANF) has faithfully delivered roses to Our Lady of Guadalupe at the Basilica in Mexico City, fostering devotion and offering supporters and donors the opportunity to express their love and reverence for the Blessed Virgin Mary under her title as Queen of the Americas and Patroness of the Unborn. In addition, we also delivered prayer intentions for all those who donated roses.

An Expression of Gratitude

Our Report would not be complete without expressing our gratitude to the florist, Dona Ara and her team. They work tirelessly for days before the presentation of roses, procuring roses, preparing the terra cotta pots and making the rose arrangements. On the day of the presentation of the roses, she and her team carried each arrangement from the florist shop to the Shrine (where we took pictures) and then from the Shrine into the Basilica presenting them to Our Lady. This was no small task and they did it with great love and devotion for the Blessed Virgin.

Visitors Unexpectedly Moved by Faith

We met three fellow Americans that had heard about the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and decided to visit to see what all the fuss was about. They kindly and enthusiastically shared their impressions with us:

Betsy M:

Entering the Basilica as a non-believer, I was struck by the profound sense of history, spirituality, and collective faith present throughout the Shrine. Seeing so many people united in shared devotion was both inspiring and extraordinary. Despite not being Catholic, I felt welcomed and included in that unity. Learning about the history of Our Lady of Guadalupe was fascinating and deeply moving. The roses added a vibrant energy and beauty to the entire experience, enhancing what was already a remarkable visit.

Ray M:

As a non-Catholic with no prior education or preconceived notions about Catholicism, I was deeply impressed by the profound commitment and dedication of the countless individuals who travelled hundreds—if not thousands—of miles to visit Our Lady of Guadalupe. Witnessing this devotion gave me a renewed appreciation for the central role faith plays in so many lives. The roses made an immediate and powerful impact on me. Many visitors were visibly moved by the floral display, joyfully taking photographs of their children and families with the arrangements. The experience was both overwhelming and inspiring. It is something that can be described, but not truly understood, until experienced firsthand.

Richard Z:

Today was a truly meaningful experience. The weather was beautiful, and the roses—arranged in a perfect circle—looked incredible. The flower arrangements were absolutely beautiful. Doña Ara and her entire family did a fantastic job organizing everything.

Seeing the Tilma up close and learning about its history was amazing. Seeing the crucifix that was bent by a bomb yet protected the miraculous Tilma was especially moving.

Walking through the Old Basilica and witnessing the history within its walls—including the visible sinking of the structure—was incredible. The artwork there was breathtaking, especially the painting honouring those who were killed in Mexico during the Cristero War; that art piece deeply affected me.

I had never lit a candle for a prayer intention before, and doing so at the Shrine was deeply spiritual. I’ve never considered myself particularly religious, though my parents were. They both passed away recently—and shortly before my father’s passing, on a trip together we shared a room, and every night before bed he would pray—for me, for my children, and for my siblings and their children. I always found those moments incredibly powerful. Lighting a candle today brought me right back to those quiet moments of prayer with my father. It was emotional and comforting at the same time, and it made this experience even more meaningful.

The walk up Tepeyac Hill was hot, but completely worth it. The gardens at the Shrine were stunning, and the statues and offerings to Our Lady were powerful and inspiring. I am so grateful I chose to make this trip. Experiencing everything in person was powerful beyond words.

Fellow Travelers – Jeff, Megan and Gianna Morris

Living in the United States, I sometimes take for granted the depth of devotion that exists elsewhere. Upon entering the gates of the Shrine, there is an unmistakable sense of pilgrimage and reverence that is difficult to replicate in the U.S. The devotion to Our Lady is visible and deeply woven into daily life here.

While the America Needs Fatima offering of roses was significant, it was equally moving to see small families presenting modest bouquets with immense love and reverence. The florist and her team worked tirelessly to create a beautiful and reverent display, and their dedication was evident in every detail.

Witnessing individuals—including women entering the Basilica on their knees—reinforced the certainty that we were all present for the same purpose: to venerate the miraculous tilma and to honour our Blessed Mother. As Catholics, we believe in uniting our suffering with Christ’s suffering, and seeing this lived expression of faith was profoundly moving.

Lighting a candle for every state on behalf of America Needs Fatima and praying for unborn children in danger of abortion was a powerful and deeply prayerful moment. I was also moved to pray for the parents of these unborn children, recognizing how vital our prayers are for them as well.

We (my wife, daughter, and I) made a second journey up Tepeyac Hill. Whether it was the physical exertion or something deeper, entering the chapel where Our Lady appeared to Saint Juan Diego was an overwhelming experience marked by a palpable sense of presence and grace.

This display of offerings to Our Lady from the Aztecs and Bishop is in the gardens at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Global Expression of Devotion

Marian devotees from Canada and South Africa also sent roses to join the thousands of roses sent by ANF supporters and friends.

It is only natural that such a meaningful endeavour would expand beyond national borders. This year, for the first time, nine other countries—including nations in Europe and Latin America (Austria, Germany, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Ecuador, Italy, France, Paraguay) —joined in this global expression of devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary under her title of Our Lady of Guadalupe, especially to protect the unborn in their countries.

Some of the global expressions of devotion.

A Special Thank You and Invitation for 2027

We would like to extended a heartfelt Thank You to all the South Africa Needs Our Lady family and friends who generously donated to make this offering to Our Lady of Guadalupe for the unborn. We humbly ask for your continued prayers for the worldwide growth of devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe, that through her intercession, the tragedy of abortion may one day end in every place and at every time.

We invite you to participate in this incredibly moving presentation of roses to Our Lady of Guadalupe on behalf of the unborn and place your prayer intentions at the top of the list for 2027, click here now!

54-Day Rosary Novena

by

Whoever desires to obtain favors from Me should make three novenas of the prayers of the Rosary, and three novenas in thanksgiving.”
– Promise of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary

On 3 March 1884 (in the same year Pope Leo XIII wrote the prayer to St. Michael, and exactly 33 years before the Fatima apparitions), a young girl named Fortuna Agrelli was graced with an apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary and given this special devotion which she passed onto others.

At the time, young Fortuna was ill with 3 separate incurable diseases and her doctors had given up on her case saying it was hopeless. In desperation, the young girl and her family began a novena of Rosaries.

Our Lady appeared to the girl, sitting upon a high throne, surrounded by luminous figures, holding the Divine Child on Her lap, and in Her hand a Rosary.

The sick girl greeted the Blessed Virgin with the following words: “Queen of the Holy Rosary, be gracious to me, restore me to health! I have already prayed to Thee in a novena, O Mary, but have not yet experienced Thy aid. I am so anxious to be cured!”

“Child,” responded the Blessed Virgin, “you have invoked Me by various titles and have always obtained favours from Me. Now, since you have called Me by that title so pleasing to Me, “Queen of the Most Holy Rosary”, I can no longer refuse the favour you petition; for this name is most precious and dear to Me. Make three novenas, and you shall obtain all.”

Once more, the Queen of the Holy Rosary appeared to the young girl and said, “Whoever desires to obtain favours from Me should make three novenas of the prayers of the Rosary, and three novenas in thanksgiving.”

Obeying Our Lady’s instructions, the young girl was healed and restored to perfect health.

54-Day Rosary Novena

 

Traditionally a novena is nine days. Thus, Our Lady’s words to young Fortuna “make three novenas of the prayers of the Rosary in petition, and three novenas in thanksgiving.”

The novena consists of five decades of the Rosary (one set of mysteries) each day for twenty-seven days in petition; then immediately five decades each day for an additional twenty-seven days in thanksgiving, regardless of whether or not the request has been granted yet.

So began six novenas of Rosaries which became known as the 54-day Rosary Novena.

To do the novena properly one must pray the Rosary for 54 consecutive days, without missing a day, and must pray the particular Mystery indicated for that day following the correct sequence.

That is, the first day of the novena always begins with the Joyful Mysteries (regardless of what day of the week the novena is started); the second day, the Sorrowful Mysteries are prayed; and the third day of the novena, the Glorious Mysteries are prayed.

The fourth day of the novena begins again with the Joyful Mysteries and continues on in that sequence throughout the 54 days of the novena (see chart below).

People have asked over time about the Luminous Mysteries — this novena was given by Our Lady as noted above in 1884 and only allows for the Joyful, Sorrowful and Glorious Mysteries.

The Miraculous Rosary Novena

 

It has been reported that the miracle of young Fortuna’s cure upon praying the 54-day Rosary Novena, made a deep impression on Pope Leo XIII. He wrote 17 encyclicals on the Rosary and urged all Christians to love the Rosary and pray it fervently. Over the years, countless supernatural miracles and answered prayers have been attributed to praying this very powerful 54 Day Rosary Novena.
