THEHOLYROSARY.SUBSTACK.COM | THE DIARY OF PRAYER (ENGLISH)
Note: The following prayer is a combination of the two different Novenas in preparation for “the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord”. We derived this novena from Fr. Ron’s YouTube site for St. Mary’s and have renovated the script slightly for this podcast, adding an audio script for our toolkit as a PDF below, and new audio led by Zosia, broadcaster for the Rosary Hour Podcast with script support from Dr. Tina Bailey.
INTENTIONS FOR THIS NOVENA
The original site asks for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
More Prayer Intentions:
We pray for…
1. For the release of the Holy Souls in Purgatory;
2. For the transformation of conscience — and the increased desire everywhere for souls to choose eternity with God;
3. For the increase in public Rosaries throughout the world in each and every parish and family, starting on Saturdays & Sundays before or after the Holy Mass.
4. For more people to take advantage of the “2-Communions-a-day Jubilee Indulgence for 2025 during the Jubilee Ordinary: that they will strive to achieve through an act of supernatural charity to Holy Souls these indulgences for their salvation. (Listen to Fr. Thad’s talk on this topic here: comorezar.substack.com).
5. For the advancement of the full canonization of Michelle Duppong, Servant of God from the USA; Venerable Lúcia of Fátima; Venerable Patrick Peyton; Venerable Fulton Sheen and others we are unaware of.
PRESENTATION NOVENA: PRAYERS FOR DAY 1 |
EDITED BY THE RHP TEAM
First Day: January 25th
[ZOSIA] Let's begin: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit...
BRIGHT MIRROR OF ALL VIRTUES, HOLIEST MARY, forty days had scarcely elapsed from the Birth when you, being the purest of all virgins, did will, according to the law, to be presented in the temple to be purified: grant that we, like you, may keep our hearts unstained by sin, that so we, too, may be made worthy to be presented to our God in the temple of His glory.
Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins, but upon the trust which we place in Thine infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Thy Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from it. We beg this of Thee by Thy love, which unites Thee to the Father and the Holy Spirit.
O omnipotence of Divine Mercy, salvation of the sinful, Thou art a sea of mercy and compassion and aid those who entreat Thee with humility.
Eternal Father, turn Thy merciful gaze upon all humanity and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, show us Thy mercy, by the grace of Thy Holy Spirit that we may praise the omnipotence of Thy love forever and ever. Amen.
DAILY NOVENA PRAYERS
Lord Jesus, Who went up to the Temple as a child, grant us to know Thy presence and mercy in our lives and in our community so that we may declare the Good News of Thy love for all.
O Blessed Mother of God, who went up to the Temple according to the law with thine offering of little white doves, pray for us that we too may keep the law and be pure in heart like thee.

LEADER (Adult or child): The FOUTH Joyful Mystery
The Presentation of our Lord in the Temple
"And after the days of her purification, according to the law of Moses, were accomplished, they carried him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord: As it is written in the law of the Lord: 'Every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord.'" (Luke 2:22-23)
We offer Thee, O Lord Jesus, this fourth decade in honor of Thy Presentation in the temple by the hands of Mary, and we ask of Thee, through this mystery and through the intercession of Thy Blessed Mother, the gift of wisdom and purity of heart and body.
