Novena to Our Lady of Peñafrancia FIRST DAY Act of Contrition My Lord, Jesus Christ true God and true man, in whom I believe, in whom I hope and whom I love above all things, I am deeply sorry for having offended Thee, because thou art infinite goodness. I promise never more to offend thee, with the help of thy divine grace, and through the powerful intercession of the blessed Mother, the Holy Virgin Mary, whom I would like to honor all the days of my life, but most particularly during this novena which I dedicate to the glory of her most holy name. Amen. Virgin of Penafrancia, pray for us! Prayer O most lovable Queen and Mother Mary, whose sweet name gladdens the heavens, consoles the earth and daunts hell. O peerless greatness granted to thee by Him who is omnipotent, that all might share in the benefit of that plenitude; namely: the sick their cure, the sorrowful their consolation, the sinners their forgiveness, the angels their joy and the Blessed Trinity untold glory. To you I have recourse in this novena, as an armour for my defense, as a medicine for my health, as a consolation for my grief, as an effective relief for my burdens, as a help unto the remission of my sins and as a universal remedy for all my needs. Therefore I beseech Thee time and again and frequently repeat these sweet words: Virgin of Penafrancia, pray for us, Virgin of Penafrancia, pray for us, Virgin of Penafrancia, pray for us. May I deserve from thy mercy and benevolence a participation in the benign influence of thy name and may I become one of thy most faithful children, so that living always under this precious protection, may I be granted the special intention of this novena, if it be for the greater honor and glory of God and the salvation of my soul.
