SATURDAY
– The Blessed Virgin Mary
Saturday is traditionally dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church and refuge of sinners. On this day, we honor her maternal care, imitate her virtues of humility, purity, and obedience, and entrust our lives to her intercession. Through Mary, we are led ever closer to her Son, Jesus Christ.

Novena to the Blessed Virgin Mary
Opening Prayer
O Mary, full of grace and blessed among women, I honor you this day with love and devotion. You are the Mother of Mercy, the refuge of sinners, and the comfort of the afflicted. Receive me as your child and lead me ever closer to Jesus.
Petition
Holy Mary, Mother of God, I entrust to you my needs and intentions (mention petition). Intercede for me before your Son, that I may receive the grace I ask, and may I always imitate your faith and obedience.
Daily Prayers
- Hail Mary (3)
- Memorare:
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen. - Hail, Holy Queen:
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Concluding Prayer
O Blessed Mother, protect me always. Guide me in this life and lead me safely to your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.

Nobena sa Mahal na Birheng Maria
Panimulang Panalangin
O Maria, napupuno ng grasya at pinagpala sa babaeng lahat, pinararangalan kita sa araw na ito nang may pag-ibig at debosyon. Ikaw ang Ina ng Awa, kanlungan ng makasalanan, at aliw ng mga nagdurusa. Tanggapin mo ako bilang iyong anak at ilapit mo ako nang lalo kay Hesus.
Panalangin ng Paghiling
O Mahal na Ina ng Diyos, inihahabilin ko sa iyo ang aking mga pangangailangan at kahilingan (banggitin ang kahilingan). Ipanalangin mo ako sa iyong Anak upang pagkalooban ako ng biyayang aking hinihiling, at nawa’y matularan ko ang iyong pananampalataya at pagsunod.
Araw-araw na Panalangin
- Aba Ginoong Maria (3)
- Ala-ala (Memorare):
Ala-ala ka, O Pinakamaawain at Pinagpalang Birheng Maria, na kailanma’y di napakinggan na may dumulog sa iyong pagtatanggol, humingi ng iyong tulong, at humanap ng iyong pamamagitan na pinabayaan. Dahil sa pagtitiwalang ito, ako’y dumudulog sa iyo, O Birhen ng mga birhen, aking Ina. Sa iyo ako lumalapit, makasalanan at mapighati. O Ina ng Anak ng Diyos na nagkatawang-tao, huwag mong ipagkait ang aking kahilingan, kundi dinggin at ipagkaloob mo ito. Amen. - Aba Po, Santa Mariang Hari (Salve Regina):
Aba po, Santa Mariang Hari, Ina ng Awa, buhay, katamisan, at pag-asa namin. Ikaw ang aming tinatawag, pinalayas na anak ni Eba. Ikaw ang aming pinagbubuntung-hininga, tumatangis at dumaraing sa lupang bayang kahapis-hapis. Aba, ipaling mo sa amin ang iyong maawaing mga mata. At pagkatapos ng pagpanaw na ito, ipakita mo sa amin ang mapalad na bunga ng iyong sinapupunan, si Hesus. O maawain, o maibigin, o matamis na Birheng Maria.
Pangwakas na Panalangin
O Mahal na Ina, lagi mo akong ipagtanggol at patnubayan. Samahan mo ako sa buhay na ito at ihatid mo ako nang ligtas sa iyong Anak na si Hesus, ang aming Panginoon. Amen.
Sa ngalan ng Ama, at ng Anak, at ng Espiritu Santo. Amen.
