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 I beg Dear Mother pray with me for Satan to release my son from addiction and deep depression. The enemy is using that against him to use pot and alcohol and be with not nice women who have no respect for themselves or God! He has 2 beautiful girls that have made their first communion. He took them to church since they were born . Now after much fighting and several years of separation (which caused his depression and started the downward trend ) he’s got visits back and will soon have legal custody. Not with the snake wrapped up around him. Please I beg the intercession of dear blessed Mother and Son Jesus. Release and save my only child.
