The Novena to the Holy Innocents, Martyrs, is a special prayer that lasts for nine days, focusing on honouring the innocent children who were killed by King Herod’s orders in Bethlehem.
It’s a time to remember their tragic deaths and to ask for their intercession for protection and help in our own lives.
People pray this Novena seeking guidance, comfort, and strength, believing in the innocence and purity of these young souls. It’s a way to connect with their innocence and seek their assistance in times of trouble.
Novena to Holy Innocents
O Holy Innocents in the name of Jesus, for whom your blood was shed, pray for exploited and abused children. O Holy Innocents who, for the sake of the Christ Child your sacrifice was offered, intercede for the captive and suffering children.
O Holy Innocents whose blood was sanctified by the precious blood of the Savior, preserve the purity and innocence of children and be their help and comfort.
Heavenly Father, I ask that you look with great mercy upon the peril of innocent children being violated in the world and deliver them from every evil.
I beg your mercy through the sacrifice of the Holy Innocents and through the sacrificial love of your beloved Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
(Say: Our Father, Three Hail Mary’s, Glory Be)
