How to pray an Emergency Novena

Have you ever found yourself in an emergency with no time to pray a full nine-day novena? When Mother Teresa faced urgent situations, she would pray an "Emergency Novena" - nine Memorares in petition, followed by a tenth in thanksgiving. This is also referred to as an Express or Flying novena. Similar to the rosary, you can count the prayers on your fingers, but using a chaplet makes the experience more focused and intentional.

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.

St. Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us.

    Mother Mary, please bless this baby in my 8th month of pregnancy. I pray for confidence, strength and hope for myself as I struggle with difficult times. I ask you to send grace over the father of our baby who has left me in this last month of pregnancy. He is battling his own struggles, but I just pray you can step in and bring our little family back together. Give me the grace to give him back to you and give me strength to make it through this pregnancy and delivery safely. Please be with us every step of the way. Amen.
