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.

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!
