Are you ever faced with an emergency and don't have time to pray a nine day novena? When Mother Teresa was facing an emergency situation she would pray an 'Emergency Novena' - nine Memorares in petition, then a tenth in thanksgiving. This is also known as an Express, or Flying novena. Like the rosary, you can use your fingers to count the prayers, but it is so much nicer using a chaplet.
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.

It’s been a tough time for me and right now I’ve been dealing with bad anxiety because I’m not sure if i will get accepted into the school i want. I hope after praying this thing’s will go fine. Amen
I haven’t prayed this emergency novena yet, but I believe that God will come through for me as He always has. I’ll be praying it in a few and I’ll surely be back to give my testimony of what God is about to do for me.
God has come through for me so so many times..he surely will come through for me this time..
I believe and trust in Him!
I believe God will never abandon me with this far he has taken me.
I belief that my prayer will be answered..nothing is impossible with God.
Thank you!
