NOVENA TO MARY QUEEN OF PEACE FROM 9 TO 17 MARCH FOR THE APPEARANCE OF 18 MARCH IN MIRJANA
Our Lady asked for a novena of prayer and renunciation in the message of August 25, 1991, to help her accomplish what she started with the secrets of Fatima.
Now, approaching the extraordinary apparition in Mirjana on March 18, 2026, I think it is useful to propose to those who live the messages of the Queen of Peace to offer for the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary a NOVENA OF PRAYER AND FASTING from March 9 to 17, 2023 inclusive, so that we can prepare for the forthcoming time of secrets and helping Our Lady to realize her plans for the world and for the Church through Medjugorje.
Let’s pray in a special way for pastors and those who have not yet come to know the love of God. And let’s remember that prayer and fasting can drive away wars and suspend natural laws…
NOVENA TEXTURE
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
Invocation to the Holy Spirit
Come holy spirit, send us from heaven a ray of your light. Come, father of the poor, come, giver of gifts, come, light of hearts. Perfect comforter, sweet guest of the soul, sweetest relief. In toil, rest, in heat, shelter, in tears, consolation. O blessed light, invade into the hearts of your faithful. Without your strength, there is nothing in man, nothing without fault. Wash what is deaf, wet what is dry, heal what is bleeding. Bend what is stiff, warm what is cold, crush what is crooked. Give to your faithful people who trust in you alone with your holy gifts. Give virtue and reward, give holy death, give eternal joy. Amen
Come O Spirit Creator
Come O Creator Spirit, visit our minds, fill the hearts you have created with your grace. O sweet comforter, gift of the most high Father, living water, fire and love, holy crism of the soul. Finger of God’s hand, promised by the Savior, radiates your seven gifts, stirs up the word in us. Be light to the intellect, burning flame of the heart, heal our wounds with the balm of your love. Defend us from the enemy, give us peace as a gift, your invincible guide protect us from evil. Eternal light of knowledge, reveal to us the great mystery of God the Father and the Son united in one love. Amen
I believe
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, was born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried, descended to hell; on the third day he rose from death; ascended to heaven, sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the remission of sins, the resurrection of the flesh, the eternal life. Amen

I salute you, O Mary Queen of Peace, you are the runner, the dew of my dry heart, the serene light of my mind, the repairer of all my evils.

DAY THREE: Obtain in me a faithful heart
Queen of Peace, I turn to you in simplicity and beg you: give me a heart similar to yours. A humble and generous heart, ready to always do the will of God; a charitable and compassionate heart towards everyone; a faithful and unselfish heart, ready to see the good and not hold a grudge for the evil received, a strong and balanced heart that will not be brought down by the suffering and the test. Form in me a heart that loves for free without expecting anything in return; a heart that is strong and determined so that no ingratitude can close it and no indifference can weaken it; a heart that beats with love for Jesus Christ, so that my whole being sings for eternity: blessed be the Lord. Amen

Mother of the Church, to you we recommend the whole Church, protect and assist the bishops in their apostolic mission, and how many, priests, religious, families and lay people, help them in their hard labor. Remember all your children; appreciate their prayers to God; keep their faith firm; strengthen their hope;increase charity. Remember those who pour out in tribulation, in necessity, in danger; remember above all those who are unfairly persecuted and are imprisoned for their faith. To Costoro, O Virgin, grant and hasten the sighing day of liberation. Amen

Father of mercy, giver of all good, we thank you because you chose the Blessed Virgin Mary to be the Mother of the Son made man. We thank you because you have preserved her from every sin, filled her with every gift of grace, joined her to the redemption work of your Son and took her in soul and body to Heaven.

Welcome, O sweetest Mother, our humble supplications and obtain for us, above all, that one day we may repeat before your throne the hymn that is raised today on the earth around your altars: O Queen of Peace, your gaze comforts us, on us lay your hands, pleading with the Divine Son. Amen
