About the Holy Name of Mary Novena
The feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary is celebrated on September 12, four days after we celebrate the Feast of the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The feast originated in Spain and was approved by the Holy See in 1513. Finally, in 1683, Pope Innocent XI extended the feast day of the Holy Name of Mary to the universal church, which originated in Spain in the sixteenth century, and he gave it the September 12th date.
On the Feast of the Holy Name of Mary and during the novena leading up to the Feast DAy, we honor Mary’s name and her role in salvation history as the Mother of God. We also contemplate Mary’s virtue: her faith, humility, obedience to the will of God, and charity.
Day 1 – the Holy Name of Mary Novena
Let us begin, In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Prayer to Holy Name of Mary
Mary, how sweetly falls thy name
On my enraptured ear;
Oft do I say in holy love
Thy name when none are near.
Sing oh, my lips, and loudly proclaim,
Oh Mary, my Mother, how sweet is thy name.
Sweet as the warbling of a bird,
Sweet as a Mother’s voice;
So sweet to me is thy dear name;
It makes my soul rejoice.
Bright as the glittering stars appear,
Bright as the moonbeam’s shine,
So bright in my mind’s eye is seen
Thy loveliness divine!
AMEN.
