Have any of you ever prayed the Mother Teresa Emergency Novena consisting of the Memorare prayer nine times in a row for an intention? If you did so, could you tell me if you prayed it by yourself, or with one or more people and what the results of the novena were. If you prayed it with more than one person, how many people prayed it with you? (The novena was named after Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, who received striking favours through this novena). I would also like to know if you prayed a variation of this novena and the results of that.
This is the Memorare prayer:
Remember O most loving Virgin Mary that never was it known in any age that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession was left unaided, inspired by this confidence, therefore I fly to thee O Virgin of Virgins my Mother, to you do I come, before you I stand sinful and sorrowful, do not O Mother of the Word Incarnate despise my prayers but in thy mercy graciously hear and answer them. Amen.

I prayed this novena several days in a row for my mother-in-law who was in ICU with sepsis. Sepsis has a 60% mortality rate and I believe that the Blessed Mother’s intercession through this prayer is what saved my mother-in-law’s life.

That is a wonderful answer to prayer. Thank you for sharing it with everyone.

A few years ago my husband and I rented a cabin by a lake and were enjoying the evening when someone came to our door stating that he had reserved it. We told him there must be a mistake, but the next day, the park police came to check our reservation papers. It seemed we had not completed the reservation online correctly. Since we had friends coming to join us, I was very worried that we would be asked to leave and then I remembered the “emergency novena.” I actually must have prayed the Memorare a million times – that’s what it seemed like. But another empty cabin was found and we were allowed to stay. It sure was a miracle to us! The Blessed Mother is a refuge in times of trouble. Pray the rosary too!

Another wonderful favour granted through the Mother Theresa Emergency novena.
