ACT OF CONTRITION

Jesus of the Black Nazarene
Iriga City

O Jesus Christ, my Lord, true God, and true Man, my great Redeemer; with the sublime love which You did profess for humankind, and for which You did suffer humiliations and experience all sorts of trials and tribulations since Your capture by the soldiers led by Judas Iscariot, and during Your painful journey to Calvary; walking with a heavy cross on Your shoulders, as a penitent creature of God, I should appreciate Your supreme sacrifice; Your death on the cross to redeem the world and hereby promise to love You ever more.

Referring to You, St. John said, โ€œGreater love has no man than this that He lay down His life for His friends.โ€

In as much as I love you above all things, I repent with all my heart and soul for having committed sins against You. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your Grace to sin no more and to avoid the occasions of sin. So help me, I beseech You Jesus Christ, to do penance, and give me courage to follow You in Your dolorous way of the Cross.

Fourth Day or Fourth Friday

Jesus Christ met His afflicted and sorrowful mother in His journey. As they looked at each other, each of them felt the pains within their hearts which they could not express in words, as if the arrows and daggers were plunged into their chest; wounding their hearts which loved each other dearly and tenderly. She followed Him in His dolorous journey.

Meditation

Imagine the feelings of the Blessed Mother and her Son in those moments, here a mother meeting her son in a pitiful condition; disfigured, emaciated, weakened, almost at the brink of agony; with blood oozing from His heart and body. Lugubrious, the Virgin Mother met Jesus in such state. Both Mother and Son experienced inconsolable sorrow. And Jesus was on His way to Calvary to save mankind.

Resolution for the Day

I hereby resolve to ask the Good Lord for religious fervor through the intercession of the Virgin Mother of Jesus, as a foundation of mercy, she helps sinners.

Prayer

Blessed Mother, Mary most holy, our model of virtues, deign to receive the voluntary offering we make of this novena; keep us faithful unto death in our love and duty to our Lord so that we may be worthy of the glory of heaven, that through your intercession, we may enjoy eternal life.

CONCLUDING PRAYER

O Almighty God, who have appointed Your only begotten Son the Savior of the World; many times I have improperly abandoned You, but after duly repenting for having offended You, now on my knees I come to offer You to say that I adore You with all fervor and devotion. So please forgive me for my sins and omissions; and grant me grace, I beseech You, my omnipotent God, so that I may enjoy the blessing and Glory of Heaven where Your Son Jesus live and reign with You in unity of the Holy spirit, world without end. Amen

(Say Three Hail Maryโ€™s for the intention of this novena)

The Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace the Lord is with you, among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

CONCLUDING PRAYER

 O MY SOUL, GREAT TRUTH; YOUR SALVATION MUST BE A MOST IMPORTANT AFFAIR; IF THE SON OF GOD HAD TO DIE TO THE CROSS FOR IT; AND IF THE MOST INNOCENT JESUS WAS THUS SCOURGED FOR THE SINS OF OTHERS, WHAT WILL BE THE PUNISHMENT IN HELL FOR OUR SIN, SO NUMEROUS AND COMMITTED WITH MALICE? O JESUS CRUCIFIED, BE MY SALVATION.

 O MARY, MOTHER OF THE DIVINE REDEEMER, HOW GREAT IS THE GOODNESS OF JESUS Towards US, AND WE UNGRATEFUL FOR SUCH GOODNESS HAVE NOT ONLY SHOWN HIM LITTLE LOVE IN RETURN, BUT HAVE ALSO OFTEN TIME REOPENED HIS WOUNDS. PRAY FOR US THAT WE MAY DESPISE SUCH INGRATITUDE. OUR DEAREST MOTHER MARY, HELP OF CHRISTIANS, HELP ME TO KEEP MY RESOLUTIONS I HAVE MADE DURING THIS MEDITATION; HELP US TO LIVE AS GOOD AND FAITHFUL CATHOLICS, AS A DEVOUR CHILD OF YOU, HELP ME TO AVOID OFFENDING YOU DIVINE SON, HELP ME TO HAVE A HAPPY DEATH; HELP ME OH MARY, TO SAVE MY SOUL SO THAT I MAY BE HAPPY WITH JESUS CHRIST FOREVER. AMEN.

Jesus of the Black Nazarene…

Have Mercy on Us.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
