Repeat the following Novena prayers every day for 9 consecutive days.

Prayer # 1

O ye glorious virgins, fulfil now my desire,
and when the hour of death arrives, hasten to my assistance:
be present at that terrible moment,
and defend me from the assault of the demons.
Let not one of you be then absent;
come with the Virgin Mother at your head.
If any remnant of sin still cling to me
and soil me with its stain,
remove it by your prayer.
Let the foe be aware of your presence,
and bewail his own confusion.

Saint Ursula and companions,
pray for us!

Prayer # 2

By the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ, accept, O God,
The prayers offered to you through the intercession of Saint Ursula,
Faithful imitator of the virtues of the Heart of your Son,
And grant us the favors we are confidently asking for.

Amen.

Saint Ursula and companions,
pray for us!

Prayer # 3

O God, Who hast granted to the virgins
worthily consecrated to Thee,
the courage to face,
with Ursula as their leader,
a wonderful fight whereby through the palm of martyrdom
they reached the glory of Heavenly contemplation,
we beseech Thee
grant that we may be aided by the prayer
of those who in this day after passing through the gates of death,
Thou has made to triumph in Heaven.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who liveth and reigneth with God the Father,
in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God,
world without end.

Amen.
