Day 5 - Immaculate Heart of Mary Novena:

Peace be with you!
 
Humility. 
 
Mary's Immaculate Heart is full of humility. Mary was never seeking honor, glory or fame. She was selfless and disinterested in her own ego. She was humble. She is our model of humility. 
 
In the Gospel of Luke, Mary says:
 
"My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for He has looked with favor on His lowly servant."
 
If she is but a lowly servant of God then what about us? 
 
Let us pray today that we may be humble like Mary. 
 
Let us pray that any thought we may have towards self-righteousness, self-aggrandizement or self-importance will be replaced with thoughts of humility and praise of God who is the source of all that is good.
 
Here are the prayers for today:
 
 
Immaculate Virgin, by the holy will of your Son my Lord Jesus Christ, you are my Mother in Heaven. Your Immaculate Heart is full of love, mercy and compassion for sinners like me. I ask that you intercede for me today for...
 
(mention your prayer intentions)
 
I trust in your intercession before the throne of God for my needs. Please pray also that if my requests are not in accordance with the will of God, that I may be, like you, conformed to His will and not my own.
 
Hail Mary...
 
 
Amen.
 
Act of Consecration by Pope Pius XII
 
Most Holy Virgin Mary, tender Mother of men, to fulfill the desires of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the request of the Vicar of Your Son on earth, we consecrate ourselves and our families to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, O Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and we recommend to You, all the people of our country and all the world.
 
Please accept our consecration, dearest Mother, and use us as You wish to accomplish Your designs in the world.
 
O Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and Queen of the World, rule over us, together with the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, Our King. Save us from the spreading flood of modern paganism; kindle in our hearts and homes the love of purity, the practice of a virtuous life, an ardent zeal for souls, and a desire to pray the Rosary more faithfully.
 
We come with confidence to You, O Throne of Grace and Mother of Fair Love. Inflame us with the same Divine Fire which has inflamed Your own Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart. Make our hearts and homes Your shrine, and through us, make the Heart of Jesus, together with your rule, triumph in every heart and home.
 
Amen.
