Day 8 — Mother of life

Reading

Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared pregnant, bearing Christ in her womb. She is Mother of life and defender of the most vulnerable. Before the culture of death, she presents herself as a sign of hope and protector of every human life from conception to natural death.

Prayer of the Day

Virgin of Guadalupe, Mother of life, protect unborn children and all vulnerable persons. May the dignity of every human life be respected as a sacred gift of God. Amen.

Final Prayer (for all days)

O Immaculate Virgin of Guadalupe, Mother of the true God and our Mother, you who showed your clemency and compassion to all who come to you, hear the supplications we offer you in this novena. As you imprinted your image on the tilma of Juan Diego, imprint your love on our hearts. Cover us with your maternal mantle and lead us always to your Son Jesus. Amen.

(Our Father, Hail Mary, and Gloria).
