Holy Rosary Novena – 9 Days of Prayer
For peace and conversion of sinners
The Holy Rosary is the prayer of meditation on the mysteries of Christ's life, spoken through the voice of Mary. This novena celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary on October 7, asking for peace in the world and the conversion of sinners. It is a beautiful way to rediscover the beads if you have not prayed them in years. Even one decade a day is a faithful beginning. The novena prayers wrap around the beads with a purpose for each day, so you are never only reciting. Think of it as a guided way back into a prayer you may have set aside, whether for a week or for twenty years.
A novena is nine consecutive days of prayer. Begin nine days before the feast (October 7) and finish on its eve. You can pray this novena at any time of year.

Intention: For the Intercession of Mary through the Rosary
O Virgin Mary, grant that the recitation of thy Rosary may be for me each day, in the midst of my manifold duties, a bond of unity in my actions, a tribute of filial piety, a sweet refreshment after fatigue, a heavenly benediction.
Queen of the Holy Rosary, you have deigned to come to Fatima to reveal to the three shepherd children the treasures of graces hidden in the Rosary. Inspire our hearts with a sincere love of this devotion, so that by meditating on the Mysteries of our Redemption which are recalled in it, we may gather the fruits and obtain the conversion of sinners, the conversion of Russia, and this favor which I so earnestly seek. I ask it for the greater glory of God, for your own honor, and for the good of souls, especially my own. O Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary, pray for us. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us. Amen.
Pray this prayer once a day for nine days in a row.
