Repeat the following Novena prayers every day for 9 consecutive days.
My Sweet Jesus,
as You rested among the lilies in your celestial garden,
You turned Your eyes from Eternity
to the most fragrant Lily of Quito.
From the moment of her creation,
you provided her with all of the sweet blessings
that you bestow upon souls
which are to be placed before Your throne;
I now prostrate myself before Your Divine Majesty
imploring Your Divine mercy
through the merits of Your faithful servant
and affectionate spouse St. Mariana de Jesus.
Grant me, Lord, by the imitation of St. Mariana’s heroic virtues,
a soul that will emit the fragrance of virtue as hers did,
for the glorification of Your most Holy Name.
Amen.
My God of Infinite Holiness,
One in Being and three in Person,
I thank you for the innumerable graces
with which you have bestowed
upon your most affectionate servant,
St. Mariana de Jesus,
demonstrated through her example and holy life.
O Lord, by the singular benefits
that you grant to those who invoke her,
with a lively faith in any tribulation,
especially in times of plagues and earthquakes,
continue to give to all devotees who appeal to you
through St Mariana’s intercession the necessary graces.
Do not deny the request I ask of You in this novena,
if it will assist me to gain eternal salvation.
Amen.
V. Pray for us, St. Mariana de Jesus.
R. So that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let Us Pray:
Oh God, who desired to have bloom in this age,
Saint Mariana in virginal chastity and perpetual penance
as a lily among thorns;
I pray that through her merits and intercession
I may deter my inclination to sin and vice
and continue to follow on the road to perfection
through Christ, Our Lord.
Amen.
Prayer on the 9th Day
Blessed Mariana de Jesus,
who appreciated the inestimable gift of the faith
which you received in holy baptism,
being solidly taught the Divine mysteries and truths of the Faith,
and conformed all your works to the Catholic beliefs,
from childhood on, you endeavored to increase your faith through meritorious acts.
Despite the fact that you were only a delicate young girl of ten years old,
you attempted to leave home with your childhood companions,
to become a missionary to pagans,
even prepared to give up your life for this cause if need be.
Intercede for me with your celestial Spouse,
and attain for me from His Divine Mercy
a faith which intensifies so that I am not ashamed
to confess my Faith in word or work,
nor should I be fearful of those who kill the body
but cannot kill the soul.
Rather may I gain a holy fear of the Lord
who is the Divine Judge who will decide my fate.
May I grow in faith so that by not refusing to lose my temporal life,
I may gain eternal life.
Amen.
Now make your request to the Holy Trinity
for the special grace which you wish to receive
through the merits of Saint Mariana de Jesus.

Say 3 Hail Mary...
Say 3 Glory Be...
