Our Lady of Pompeii Novena – 9 Days of Prayer
A nine-day novena before the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii, drawing from the Supplication composed by Blessed Bartolo Longo, asking Our Lady to bring peace, healing, and conversion through the Rosary
Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii is linked to Blessed Bartolo Longo, who composed the famous Supplication in 1884 and built a shrine in the valley of Pompeii. This novena draws on that prayer and asks Mary to bring peace, healing and conversion through the Rosary. It is ideal if you want to pray the Rosary with fresh purpose. Her feast is May 8. Longo had once left the faith and returned, so this devotion has a special place for anyone coming back. The Supplication is long and vivid, and the novena makes it approachable in nine daily steps.
A novena is nine consecutive days of prayer. Begin nine days before the feast (May 8) and finish on its eve. You can pray this novena at any time of year.

O Blessed Virgin of the Rosary of Pompeii, glorious Queen of Heaven and earth, refuge of sinners, all-powerful mediatrix before God! We who are assembled here, despite our unworthiness, prostrate ourselves humbly at your feet.

Dispose of us according to your good pleasure, for the greater glory of God in time and eternity.
We implore you, O Queen, to help the living and the dead. Give life and Christian perseverance to those who are spiritually alive; call back those who have strayed; convert sinners; confirm the just in virtue; free souls from Purgatory; and extend the Kingdom of Christ on earth.

Convert sinners, O Lady; heal the sick; console the afflicted; help the dying; free the souls in Purgatory — above all, bring all hearts to love your Son Jesus.
