54 Day Novena Sorrowful last
In Thanksgiving
(Last Twenty Seven Days)Hail, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, my Mother Mary, hail!
At thy feet I gratefully kneel to offer thee a Crown of Roses,
blood red roses to remind thee of the passion of thy divine
Son, with Whom thou didst so fully partake of its bitterness
each rose recalling to thee a holy mystery; each ten 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 your gratitude for the final twenty seven days of this novena.
The Sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
