Cardinal Burke has called for a nine month novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe starting on March 12th, in response to the “crisis of our age.”
His call to prayerful action has been made to all the faithful, but especially to those of us in the Americas. The nine month novena will culminate with a consecration to Our Lady of Guadalupe on her feast day,
December 12th, 2024.
Rather than add commentary, I suggest that you watch the video link below and hear it in his own words. You will also find the link to his site where you can sign up for his monthly newsletter as a part of joining this community of prayer. The text of the daily prayer is also included below for your convenience.
We at Guadalupe Missions will be praying this novena and we hope that you’ll join too!
In Christ through Mary,

Prayer
OF THE NINE-MONTH NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE
To be prayed daily throughout the nine-month novena from March 12 to December 12, 2024.
O Virgin Mother of God, we fly to your protection and beg your intercession against the darkness and sin which ever more envelop the world and menace the Church. Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, gave you to us as our mother as He died on the Cross for our salvation. So too, in 1531, when darkness and sin beset us, He sent you, as Our Lady of Guadalupe, on Tepeyac to lead us to Him Who alone is our light and our salvation.
Through your apparitions on Tepeyac and your abiding presence with us on the miraculous mantle of your messenger, Saint Juan Diego, millions of souls converted to faith in your Divine Son. Through this novena and our consecration to you, we humbly implore your intercession for our daily conversion of life to Him and the conversion of millions more who do not yet believe in Him. In our homes and in our nation, lead us to Him Who alone wins the victory over sin and darkness in us and in the world.
Unite our hearts to your Immaculate Heart so that they may find their true and lasting home in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Ever guide us along the pilgrimage of life to our eternal home with Him. So may our hearts, one with yours, always trust in God’s promise of salvation, in His never-failing mercy toward all who turn to Him with a humble and contrite heart. Through this novena and our consecration to you, O Virgin of Guadalupe, lead all souls in America and throughout the world to your Divine Son in Whose name we pray. Amen.
Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke
