Kindly join Our Lady of Good Hope Church in Camden in celebrating their Patron Feast Day! It will be a ten-day celebration beginning with the Novena Prayer on Sunday, June 18th. The intention of the Novena Prayer is for the success of the National Eucharistic Revival in our country and asking the Blessed Virgin Mary to instill in the world a desire for God, increase in faith and a return to the Catholic Church on the part of the lapsed Christians. The Novena will be concluded on Monday the 26th of June with Adoration, Novena Prayer, and Benediction. On Tuesday, June 27th there will be a Mass for the Feast at 5:00 PM, immediately followed by a Grand Dinner in the Church Hall. All parishioners are invited.
NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP (Say the same prayer every day for nine days)
O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant me ever to be able to call upon thy powerful name, since thy name is the help of the living and the salvation of the dying. Ah, Mary most pure, Mary most sweet, grant that thy name from this day forth may be to me the very breath of life. Dear Lady, delay not to come to my assistance whenever I call upon thee; for in all the temptations that assail me, in all the necessities that befall me, I will never leave off calling upon thee, ever repeating: Mary! Mary! Mary!
What comfort, what sweetness, what confidence, what tenderness fills my soul at the sound of thy name, at the very thought of thee! I give thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ, who for my sake hath given thee a name so sweet, so lovable, so mighty. But I am not content merely to speak thy name; I would utter it for the very love of thee; it is my desire that love should ever remind me to name thee, Mother of Perpetual Help, be pleased to hear our prayers today (Pray in silence for the intention of the novena). We ask this through Jesus Christ your Son and our Savior, Amen. Say one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory be to the Father…
