    NOVENA PRAYER DAY3 
    Holy Mother of God,          
      hear the prayers of the Church for all mothers,         
      especially those wearied by life  
      and overcome by the suffering they bear for their  children.
     
    Recite the following prayer...      Hail Mary... 
    O Mother of the Word Incarnate,  
        intercede for them   from your place in heaven, 
        that the mercy of your divine Son  
        might lighten their burden and give them strength. 
    Recite the following prayers...  
    Hail Mary... 
    Glory to the Father... 
      
    (day.3.) 
    
     Our Lady of Sorrows,  
'At first I was petrified", Jon  told me,  
"petrified that I would faint  
or get in the way  
or not know what to do to help Sarah.  
But then I prayed to Mary.  
I know, praying to Mary  
is something you would think a mother would be doing.  
But somehow,  
I think Mary  understood Saint Joseph  
more than anyone else.  
She probably saw the fear in his eyes  
and sensed the restlessness of his heart.  
She probably spent a lot of time praying for him as well.  
And when I prayed to Mary  for my child about to be born,  
I knew she understood and heard me  
and prayed for me to her Son.  
At first I was petrified, 
    and then I put everything into God's  hands."
     Amen
