Merciful Father, Prince of Peace, spirit of Wisdom and Compassion, please look upon our brothers and sisters in Darfur, We humbly pray:

For those who have been subjected to violence: women, children, youth and old men, we ask for healing, consolation, and relief of further suffering … Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be;

For those who have done violence, we ask for healing, forgiveness, and the grace of conversion … Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be;

For those in authority throughout the world, we ask wisdom, creativity, compassion and courage in addressing this situation … Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be;

Lord Jesus, Your Sacred Heart burns for love of all your people. Please place in our hearts that same love and inspire us to have the courage, wisdom and ingenuity to take what measurers we can personally to relieve the suffering in Darfur. We pray this in the name of Jesus, our Lord, through the intercession of the sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Memorare:

Remember oh most gracious Virgin Mary that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, oh Virgin of Virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. Oh Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.

(LaVerna Region is asked to pray this novena the third calendar week of February and the third calendar week of August).
