Novena Day 2: Our Lady’s Visitation to Elizabeth

Join us for Day 2 of the Novena in Honour of Our Lady of Walsingham.

Opening prayer: We fly to thy protection, O holy Mother of God. Despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us from all
dangers O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.

Intention: To carry and proclaim the Word of God

Thoughts: Bearing in her womb the Saviour of mankind, the Word of God incarnate, Mary went as quickly as she could to greet
Elizabeth, her cousin. John leaped in Elizabeth`s womb and she was filled with the Holy Spirit. Mary`s soul proclaimed the greatness of the Lord. With
Elizabeth, and taught by her, we say, `Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb` (Luke 1:42).

Prayer: Holy Mary, God-bearer, you went in haste to share the good news of salvation with your cousin, Elizabeth. May we who bear
your Son in our hearts possess the same eagerness to share with others the joy that he has given us, so that being filled with the Holy Spirit, we may all rejoice in
God, our Saviour. Amen.

Intentions: Let us pray for the grace to be joyful witnesses of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and that in joy and faith we may be prepared
to travel to the ends of the earth to proclaim the `Good News of Salvation` to all whom we meet. We pray for the mission of the Church in England +
Wales and for all our Dioceses.

Our Father … Hail Mary . Glory be .
Our Lady of Walsingham, pray for us.
