54 Day Rosary Novena starting 8/15


54 Day Rosary Novena

For our country & the Universal Catholic Church 
with a special intention for the sanctification of priests and bishops, and that the fullness of the Truth of the Catholic Faith be preserved, affirmed and proclaimed in all its splendor and orthodoxy by the Pope, Cardinals and Bishops, clergy and all lay faithful, with particular concern for the upcoming "Amazon Synod," that all heretical, pagan and erroneous teachings be rejected and the fullness of Catholic Truth and doctrine be preserved and proclaimed.  


The Origin of the 54 Day Rosary Novena
as encouraged by the Virgin Mary herself.
 


In an apparition of Our Lady of Pompeii, which occurred in 1884 at Naples, in the house of Commander Agrelli, the heavenly Mother deigned to make known the manner in which she desires to be invoked.  For thirteen months Fortuna Agrelli, the daughter of the Commander, had endured dreadful sufferings and torturous cramps.  The most celebrated physicians had given up.

On February 16, 1884, the afflicted girl and her relatives commenced a novena of Rosaries.  The Queen of the Holy Rosary favoured her with an apparition on March 3rd.  Mary, sitting upon a high throne, surrounded by luminous figures, held the divine Child on her lap, and in her hand a Rosary.  The Virgin Mother and the Holy Infant were clad in gold embroidered garments.  They were accompanied by Saint Dominic and Saint Catherine of Siena.  The throne was profusely decorated with flowers; the beauty of Our Lady was marvellous.

Mary looked upon the sufferer with maternal tenderness and the patient saluted her with the words: “Queen of the Holy Rosary, be gracious to me; restore me to health! I have already prayed to thee in a novena O Mary, but have not yet experienced thy aid.  I am so anxious to be cured!”

“Child”, responded the Blessed Virgin, “thou hast invoked me by various titles and hast always obtained favours from me.  Now, since thou hast called me by that title so pleasing to me, ‘Queen of the Holy Rosary’, I can no longer refuse the favour thou dost petition; for this name is most precious and dear to me.  Make three novenas, and thou shalt obtain all”.

Once more the Queen of the Holy Rosary appeared to her and said: “Whoever desires to obtain favours from me should make three novenas of the prayers of the Rosary, and three novenas in thanksgiving”.

This miracle of the Rosary made a very deep impression on Pope Leo XIII, and greatly contributed to the fact that in so many circular letters, he urged all Christians to love the Rosary and say it fervently.

Method


The 54 Day Rosary Novena consists of five decades of the Rosary each day for 27 days in petition; then immediately five decades each day for 27 days in thanksgiving, whether or not the request has been granted.

The meditations vary from day to day.  On the first day meditate on the Joyful Mysteries; on the second day the Sorrowful Mysteries; on the third day the Glorious Mysteries and on the fourth day the Luminous Mysteries; and so on throughout the 54 days.

Follow the format of the prayers for each of the mysteries as outlined in the guide below.  This is an arduous novena but it is a novena of love.  If you are sincere, you will not find it difficult to obtain your request.

Should you not obtain the favour you seek, be assured that the Rosary Queen, who knows what each one stands most in need of, has heard your prayer.  You will not have prayed in vain.  No prayer ever went unheard and Our Blessed Lady has never been known to fail.

Look upon each Hail Mary as a rare and beautiful rose which you lay at Mary’s feet.  These spiritual roses, bound in a wreath with Spiritual Communions, will be a most pleasing and acceptable gift to her and will bring down upon you special graces.

The Memorare   Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known, that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.  Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.  To thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.  O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petition, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.  Amen.

The Concluding Prayers for all the Mysteries

The following prayers are said after all the five mysteries for any category are completed.  There are four overarching categories (Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and Luminous) and five underlying mysteries per category.  So take the Joyful Mysteries as an example: Once you have completed The Annunciation, The Visitation, The Birth of Jesus, The Presentation and Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple, then you pray these concluding prayers.  They are not said after each underlying mystery (meaning five times per Rosary), only once at the end of the five.  So you end up saying them once a day.  Please note that the concluding prayers are the same for any category (Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and Luminous).

Spiritual Communion My Jesus, really present in the most Holy Sacrament of the altar, since I cannot now receive you under the Sacramental Veil, I beseech you, with a heart full of love and longing, to come spiritually into my soul through the immaculate heart of Your most Holy Mother, and abide with me forever.
