Novena to the Immaculate Heart of Mary (English)
O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children, we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today, especially... [for the conversion of Russia and peace in Ukraine]. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your gentle care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help all of us, Holy Mother, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever. Amen.

Nos reconforta saber que su corazón está siempre abierto a aquellos que piden su oración.

Ayúdanos a todos, Santa Madre, a llevar nuestras cargas en esta vida hasta que podamos compartir la vida eterna y la paz con Dios para siempre. Amén.
