Mary, Mother of God — General Historical Marian Novena

Nine-day devotional preparation for Mary, Mother of God, using the authentic GENERAL Marian novena prayer printed in Charles J. Callan, Blessed Be God (1925). The full historical general prayer is repeated every day. IMPORTANT: This is a modern editorial application to this title of Our Lady, NOT a claim that the source prints a historically separate proper novena for Mary, Mother of God. Pray for nine days preceding the customary celebration; follow the separate local liturgical calendar for transferred feast-day observances.

Patron of / intentions · Marian intercession, humility, fidelity to Christ, families and the Church.
