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.

    Please pray for my husband who drinks a lot of alcohol and creates fights and arguments everyday. His liver is become very weak. He has stopped eating food and is vomiting. He is not ready to go to the doctor. Please pray that he may experience God’s healing touch and peace of mind and give up this deadly addiction. May all anger and hatred towards others may vanish and he may believe in God.
