Our Lady, Refuge of Sinners Novena
Refuge of Sinners is one of the oldest titles of the Blessed Virgin Mary, invoked in the Litany of Loreto. Mary, who stood at the foot of the Cross, is the Mother to whom every sinner may flee. Pray this novena for your own conversion, for sinners who have turned away from God, especially the most hardened, and for the favor you most need.

Day 1
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
O Immaculate Virgin, the Refuge of Sinners, thou who, to repair the outrages committed against God, and the evil inflicted on man by sin, didst resign thyself to the death of thy divine Son, be ever propitious to us, and carry on thy work of zeal and love for us in heaven, where thou reignest so gloriously. We wish to be thy children, do thou show thyself a Mother to us; obtain from the Divine Restorer, Jesus, that by applying to our souls the fruits of His passion and death, He may free us from the bonds of our iniquities. May He be our light in the darkness, our strength in weakness, our help in danger, so that after He has consoled us by His grace and love in time, He may permit us to see, possess, and love Him in eternity. Amen.

Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
Refuge of sinners, take pity on me.
