54 Day Novena Joyful Last
In Thanksgiving
(Last Twenty Seven Days)
Hail, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, my Mother Mary, hail!
At thy feet I humbly kneel to offer thee a Crown of Roses, snow white buds to remind thee of thy joys, each bud recalling to thee a holy mystery, each 10 bound together with my petition for a particular grace.
O Holy Queen, dispenser of God’s graces, and Mother of all who invoke thee, thou canst not look upon my gift and fail to see its binding.
As thou receivest my gift, so wilt thou receive my thanksgiving; from thy bounty thou hast given me the favor I so earnestly and trustingly sought. I despaired not of what I asked of thee, and thou hast truly shown thyself my Mother.
Offer this Novena Rosary for personal request.
The Sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Closing Joyful Prayers
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, really present in the holy Sacrament of the Altar, since I cannot now receive Thee under the sacramental veil. I beseech Thee, with a heart full of love and longing, to come spiritually into my soul through the immaculate Heart of Thy most holy Mother and abide with me forever; Thou in me and I in Thee, in time and in eternity, in Mary.

Amen.
