Day 2: A Novena for Homeschool Mothers

Day Two: My Vocation as Wife

Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, You have instituted marriage in this earthly paradise and have, in the New Law elevated it to the dignity of a Sacrament, attaching to it many graces. Grant to [insert husband’s name] and me the grace to live lives of holiness and in so sacred a state and, by the practice of Christian virtues, to act always as is becoming a Christian couple. As your holy priest joined our hands at the altar, so may we journey through life with one heart and one soul, tasting its pleasures with moderation, enduring its sorrows with resignation and, at all times, mutually assisting and consoling each other. May true and holy fear strengthen us to restrain the low desires of the flesh, and to serve You uprightly with pure hearts and eyes and lips, in mutual esteem and forbearance.

Anoint me with your Holy Grace that I may attain the particular virtues and wisdom to fulfill my vocation as [insert husband’s name]’s wife in imitation of your own most holy spouse, the Blessed Virgin Mary. Grant that the children born of our union may be pure of heart and well disposed in mind, and that they may gladly walk in the way of Your Commandments. Teach us to be faithful images of the Holy Family of Nazareth, of Joseph, the blessed foster-father, and of Mary, the most devout and blessed Mother of the Child Jesus, that we may be made worthy to live under their protection, to die in their favor, and to be forever blessed in their society.

Receive also Almighty God these specific requests related to my marriage and my role as wife…[insert request here]…and transform me by the grace of your Holy Spirit.

Our Father….Hail Mary…Glory Be…
