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.

Blessed Mother,
Please let my son Ryan, find out that he has gotten the apartment that he’s trying to get. Please let him hear today. He’s got no place to go and is about to be homeless. Please Mother Mary, help him. I love you.
Thank You Dear Mother for granting me the grace of having my son’s mental health treating team to listen to him and providing him with alternative, more wholistic therapy.
I have a relationship that needs to be seriously blessed and wounds that need to be healed. I also want Jesus to make himself real to my children and always protect and guide them. I need favor at work. I need to be free of fear and to rest in God. I trust that Mother Mary will hear me and answer me.
