Pray this Novena to ask for graces
The Novena of The Miraculous Medal behind the Olympic Gold Medal
Filipino first-ever gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz thanked the Blessed Virgin Mary after her victory, showing her devotion to Our Lady’s Miraculous Medal.
Besides the weightlifter thanked friends for praying the novena of the Miraculous Medal before her competition.
In addition, she said that she prayed the Novena of The Miraculous Medal herself.
You can read my previous post about Hidilyn Diaz here.

But…what is a novena?
A novena (nō-ˈvē-nə) is a series of prayers that are said for nine straight days, usually to obtain a particular request, through the intercession of the Virgin or some saint.
The novena term comes from latin word novem meaning “nine” or from the medieval latin word novenus meaning “nine by nine”.
But why nine? Well, because the Apostles and the Blessed Virgin Mary spent nine days in prayer between Ascension Thursday and Pentecost Sunday. To be honest, somebody thinks that it comes from the nine months that The Blessed Virgin Mary carried Jesus in her womb.
How to pray the Novena of The Miraculous Medal
The Novena of the Miraculous Medal is also known as Our Lady Of The Miraculous Medal Novena
You should pray this novena every day from 18th to the 26th of November but you can pray it for every need you have.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Immaculate Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, who, moved by mercy for our miseries, came down from Heaven to show us how deeply you care about our sufferings and how much you work to turn away from us God’s punishments and to implore His graces for us, have mercy on us in our present need; console us in our affliction, grant us perpetual good health all the days of our life and grant us the grace we ask from you: mention your petition here.
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 exile
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
O clement, O loving,
O sweet Virgin Mary.
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you.
Immaculate Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, who, as the remedy for the many spiritual ills that afflict us, have given us your Miraculous Medal so that it will be a defense of our souls, medicine for our bodies and comfort in all our miseries: we now wear it gratefully over our hearts and we ask you through it to hear our prayer: mention your petition here.
