Day 9: Let us pray for the conversion of all those who promote a contraceptive mentality.

Prayer for Healing

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Eternal Father and Author of Life, You are the source of all mercy and love. Open our hearts to be docile and respect your plan for human sexuality and marriage. Make our homes an image of the Holy Family and give us the courage to protect and respect life. Have mercy on us and forgive our sin of rejecting the gift of new life by using or promoting contraception. Heal our wounds and restore our health, dignity, and Your precious gift of fertility. Make us an instrument of Your love and mercy to promote a culture of life. Help us to choose life in every decision we make!

Merciful Father, we ask all this through the intercession of Our Mother the Immaculate Virgin Mary, and through Our Lord Jesus Christ, who conquered sin and death, and who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.

Our Father…, Hail Mary…, Glory Be… [Add any personal intentions…]

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.


In accord with the Code of Canon Law, I hereby grant the Nihil Obstat for the Novena Prayer “Novena for Healing from Contraception.
