Saint Martha, my saint, welcome me to your protection, as I entrust myself to your protection, and as a proof of my affection for You, I offer this light, which I will light every Tuesday during this novena.
For the happiness you had in hosting the Divine Savior of the World in your house, console me in my pains. Intercede today and always for me and my family, so that we may have the help of Almighty God, in the difficulties of our lives.
I beg you to have infinite mercy towards me, granting me the grace that I ask of you today with all my heart. (Order is made). I beg you to make me overcome the obstacles of life, as you conquered the dragon that you have under your feet. Amen Jesus.
