Amen.
2.- Reflection for the first day: THE ANUNCIACION.
"Behold the handmaid of the Lord; Let it be to me according to your word" (Luke, L 38).
In this episode highlights the unconditional faith of Mary: is delivered in full to the designs of God on it. Let us say John Paul II: "By the middle of the faith was entrusted to God without reserve and devoted herself entirely to itself, as a handmaid of the Lord, to the person of his Son. And this Child -as taught by the Holy Fathers - what has been conceived in the mind before that in the breast: it is precisely by means of the faith. Precisely for this reason Elizabeth praises Mary: "happy you who have believed that would be the things that were spoken by the Lord" (Redemptoris Mater, n.or 13).
3.- Preces.
Eternal father, through your Son, born of Mary, said: Ask and ye shall receive, knock and it shall be opened unto you, listens to the prayers of thy people, which puts them in the hands of jesus Christ, thy Son, and of Mary.
– For all believers in Christ to live in line with what we believe, we pray to the Lord.
– So that, as Mary of Nazareth, to keep your Word and meditate in the silence of prayer, we pray to the Lord.
– For all christians to cultivate our faith, let us study with enthusiasm the gospels and, ultimately, know Christ better, we pray to the Lord.
– For all those who celebrate this novena, we are always ready to follow the ways of the Lord very difficult, we pray to the Lord.
4.- A final prayer.
How hard it is sometimes to fulfill your will! !That difficult we find it sometimes to marry our faith with our life, with our criteria and our way of acting! But we want to be good children of God and of the Church. That's why we ask you, Lord, that, through the intercession of Mary, Mother of your Son and the spiritual Mother of ours, we have the forces necessary to repeat with Mary: "Behold the handmaid of the Lord; Let it be to me according to your word." Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
SECOND DAY
1.- Prayer for every day.
2.- Reflection for this day: the BIRTH OF JESUS.
"Still there (in Bethlehem) are fulfilled the days of their birth, and she gave birth to her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn" (Luke 2,7). Mary is poor. That's why there's no room for her at the inn, The people do not want to jeopardize or compromise their life. Mary don't you care about your poverty, nor the sacrifices that supposed to have children outside of their natural home. What matters is your motherhood. That's why delivering your mind, your heart, your soul, your femininity, your whole being of mother-to-child God. The mother of the Son made man, the daughter of the Father, and spouse of the Holy Spirit, she feels performed as a person, as a daughter, as a wife and mother. She is the fertile soil from which a new humanity is born. She has made it possible that the Son of God should have a heart and a human face. Thank you, Mary, for being a woman! Thank you, Mary, for being a wife! Thank you, Mary, for being a Mother!
3.- Preces.
Let us pray together to the Lord Jesus christ, Son of God and Mary, who wanted to save us and give us his divine life by becoming a man and say That the full of grace, intercede for us.
– For all the migrants that the Lord will give you the grace to persevere in the christian faith: That the full of grace, intercede for us.
– For all those who have no home, no job, no home, to feel the divine assistance, and the brotherly love of men, to solve these problems: the full of grace, intercede for us.
– For the children who are abused by their parents so that they can find families and institutions that welcome them with love and advocate for their rights to life and to a decent education: That the full of grace, intercede for us.
4.- A final prayer.
Almighty father, you have chosen a woman to send your Child to the world as a Redeemer and Creator of a new humanity, give us your spirit so that, following in the footsteps of Mary of Nazareth, welcome to all your children, and to cooperate in the transformation of this world. Through jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
THIRD DAY
1.- Prayer for every day.
2.- Reflection for the day: MARIA WOMEN LIBERATED AND LIBERATING.
"Happy to have believed that would be the things that were such a part of the Seño7:..! and Mary said: my soul Magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my savior, for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden, from now on I will be called blessed by all generations. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones and has lifted up the humble ." (Luke 1: 45, and ss). Mary is blessed because she is touched by the power of God. Mary feels enlightened by the Spirit and throw to the four winds of the story a prophetic cry inspired by the psalms. When Mary proclaims that God has brought down the mighty from their thrones from their thrones and has exalted the humble, you are ahead of the preaching of his Son. Also Jesus will say in the sermon on the mount: "Blessed are the poor for theirs is the Kingdom of God." John Paul 11 tells us: "Mary is deeply imbued with the spirit of the poor of Yahweh, that in the prayer of the psalms were waiting for God his salvation, putting in all their trust. She, Mary, proclaims the coming of the "Messiah of the poor". (Redemptoris Mater, 37).
3.- Preces.
Let's lift our prayers to the Father, through his Son became man and was born of Mary, ever-Virgin:
– For the Church to follow the example of Christ, the Anointed one of God, to dedicate themselves to preach the Good news of the Gospel in a preferential way to the poor and the marginalized for any reason, we pray to the Lord.
– For all the poor and cast down into the earth to us to the spirit of Mary, to work seriously in the integral liberation, we pray to the Lord.
– By all christians, that we may lead a life testimony and, as a consequence, we can give you hard-to-install peace, justice, and universal love among all people, we pray to the Lord.
– To the Lord, due to the intersection of Mary of the Head, send us many holy vocations to the priesthood and religious life, we pray to the Lord.
4.- A final prayer.
Father, full of goodness, of whom comes life, we bless you, because you have hidden the mysteries of your Kingdom to the wise and the powerful of this world, and hast revealed them to babes; vouchsafe now to hear our prayers, which we put in the hands of Mary, the Mother of your Son, who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.
FOURTH DAY.
1.- Prayer for every day.
2.- Reflection for the day: THE WEDDING at CANA.
"Three days later there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, in which stood the mother of Jesus. He was also invited to the wedding Jesus with his disciples. and as the missing wine, Mary said to her son: they have No wine. Jesus answered: what To you and me what are we doing? Has not yet my time. The mother said to the servants: "Do whatever He tells you. Just the butler liked the water made wine (without knowing where it was, though they knew the servants who had drawn the water) he called the bridegroom and said to him, All serve first the best wine and when you have drunk enough, the worst. Thou hast kept the good wine until now. So, in Cana of Galilee, Jesus gave beginning to their miracles, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him" (John, 2, 11). "On this page of the gospel of John we find as the first hint of the truth about Mary's maternal solicitude. This truth, has found its expression in the teaching of the council"... "The maternal mission of Mary toward men in no way obscures or diminishes this unique mediation of Christ, but rather shows its effectiveness" (LG. 60; MR, 22). With these words we want to say the Pope that Mary intercedes with her Son, the only Mediator between God and men, with a motherly care of the first order. How Mary is going to be indifferent in the face of such human tragedy? She is day and night interceding for us who groan and cry in this valley of tears.
3.- Preces.
Let us pray together to the Lord Jesus, who has determined to grant us all his graces through the intercession of Mary, Mother of grace:
– For all christian couples to remain faithful to their covenant of marriage, we pray to the Lord.
– For all of the workers for that by looking at the example of the holy family learn to sanctify their work, we pray to the Lord.
– For all those who say they are devotees of the Virgin of the Head, for which they are willing to listen to the Lord and do what He tells you, we pray to the Lord.
– For all of us to learn with Mary to help the needy and serve with fidelity to the gospel of Christ, we pray to the Lord.
4.- A final prayer.
Holy father, you grant us the great gift of your Son, become for us the bread of life and drink of salvation, help us through the intercession of the Virgin Mary to get the grace to be always faithful to your love. Through jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
FIFTH DAY.
1.- Prayer for every day.
2.- Reflection for this day: JOSEPH and MARY LOOKING AT baby JESUS.
"Thinking (or their parents) who was in the caravan, did a day's journey, and sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances; but not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem to look for it. At the end of three days they found him in the temple sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking asking them"... (Lk.2, 44 ff.). Mary as a good and caring mother, take away, less to his dear son. Does not remain insensitive in their little house of Nazareth. Starts up immediately. All the sacrifices are given for good so that you can back to find the Child of her womb. What an example so admirable for many mothers who are unaware completely of their children and do not care about the least of their education. Do you desvives you as well for your children? Do you worry you as much of Jesus as Mary? Do Sales yourself to be reconciled with God and his Church? Where do you find God? Do at work? What house? How the church? How in the love given and true?
3.- Preces.
Let us pray to the Lord, the Father of our Lord jesus Christ, who wants all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth:
– For all those who are far from Christ and his Church, so that encouraged by the example of the christians, to return to the parental home, we pray to the Lord.
– For all mothers of the world, that following the example of Mary, consecrated in body and soul to their children and give them a human and christian education worthy, we pray to the Lord.
– For all the children of the world., for putting eyes on Jesus of Nazareth, to grow up healthy in age, wisdom and grace before God and men, we pray to the Lord.
– For children who are orphaned, poor and abandoned to find the people and institutions that devote themselves selflessly to them, we pray to the Lord.
– For all of us to, if we have the misfortune to move away by means of the sin of Christ and of his Church, let us make an effort to reconcile with God, we pray to the Lord.
4.- A final prayer.
Merciful father, you've wanted to be your Son-made-man in the Way, the Truth and the Life for all mortals, grant us do more and better things of your Kingdom. You who live and reign in the unity of the Holy Spirit with your Child for the centuries of centuries. Amen.
SIXTH DAY.
1.- Prayer for every day.
2.- Reflection for the day: JESUS ON THE CROSS.
"Jesus, seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved, that was there (along the cross), he said to the mother: Muje1; behold, your son. Then he said to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home" (John, 19,25). "The union of Mary with her son in the work of redemption reaches its culmination on calvary, where Christ offered himself, and where Mary was at the cross suffering deeply with his only-begotten and partnering with spirits native to their sacrifice, clinging lovingly to the immolation of the Victim, for she brought forth and offered herself to the Eternal Father" (Marialis Cultus, 20).

– For all christians to learn how to take Mary in their hearts, in their homes and in their temples, pray to the Lord.
4.- A final prayer.
Father of life: You don't want the death of your children. You don't enjoy with the destruction of the sinner. On the contrary, you are a patient, compassionate, and merciful god as a holy mother. Grant us through thy Son, and through the intercession of his mother with the title of our Lady of the Head, the grace of perseverance to the end, and a good death in your arms and in the Church, our mother.

DAY SEVENTH.
1.- Prayer for every day.
2.- Reflection for this day: PREPARING TO RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Mary is prepared by using the prayer to receive the force, the baptism of fire of the Holy Spirit. But you are not alone. It is with the Church represented in the apostles. Waiting for the great day of the fulfillment of the promises, when you spill poured out the Spirit upon all flesh. Pentecost is not only a historical fact isolated. It's a mystery constantly. Daily, we discover the presence of the Holy Spirit in the Church. Daily we realize that Mary encourages us to walk, to move forward in the pilgrimage of our faith. The presence of Mary is charismatic and friendly. It is not as a leader but as a Mother who encourages and reminds us constantly of the heroic deeds of Christ and his last words: "I am with you all days even to the consummation of the ages"... many believers from their faith and in popular religiosity have experienced the action of Mary: religious institutes, charismatic communities, entire families.

4.- A final prayer.
Your Spirit, Father, continues to decline over your Church and over the whole world.

2.- Reflection for the day: THE MAGNIFICAT OF MARY.
"And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord, and exults with joy in the God of my Salvado1; because he has regarded the humility of his handmaid; for this reason, all generations will call me blessed",... (LK. 1, 46 ss). "The words used by Mary in the threshold of the home of Elizabeth, writes John Paul 11 - constitute an inspired prophecy of faith in that the response to the word of revelation is expressed with the spiritual elevation and poetic of his whole being to God. In these words (the Magnificat)... the glimpse of the experience of Mary, the ecstasy of his heart. Shines a ray of the mystery of God, the glory of his ineffable holiness, eternal love, as a gift, irrevocable, enters in the history of man (Mary) is aware that she made the promise made to the fathers, and, above all, in favor of Abraham and to his seed for ever" (R.

2.- Reflection for the day: MARIA SHINES IN the FIRMAMENT OF THE CHURCH.
"Who is this that sticks out like the dawn, fair as the moon and clear as the sun, terrible as a squad to flags flying?.. (Song of Songs, 6,9). That a woman as beautiful as the moon, radiant as the sun is the Church in its definitive state, that is to say, it is the Church triumphant of their enemies: sin, death, satan. It is the Church fully redeemed, that rests in the Father's home and gives glory to the spotless Lamb who shed his blood for our redemption. And that woman is Mary, fully redeemed, immaculate and holy, without blemish of sin, full of grace, assumed body and soul into heaven and incorporated by his Son, the Queen and Mother of mercy. This woman, the glory of Jerusalem, the joy of Israel, and the pride of our race is the hope of the human race, according to the words of Paul VI: "TO contemporaries, frequently tormented by the anguish and hope, discounted by its smallness and shaken by aspirations countless, with the mood of the turbulent and divided the heart and the mind before the riddle of death, oppressed by loneliness and longing for with ardor communication with others, deeply disturbed by the hassle and the nausea: these men, the Virgin, referred to in his history of the gospel and in the reality which she already possesses in the city of God, it offers a clear vision and a word reassuring: the victory of hope over anguish, of joy and beauty over boredom and the nausea, the prospects eternal over the temporal, of life over death" (MC, 57) Mary of Nazareth, which has been known as us, the pain, the loneliness, doubt, the incomprensió the and is now enjoying in the house of the father with his Son, it "glows in the community of the elect as the model of virtues" (LG. 65), is our Advocate, Aid and Succor. For all of these prerogatives is our hope. Is what we say in the Hail holy queen: "hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy; our life, our sweetness, our hope; God Save you".

Save los Monteros – Jaime de Foxa
"Hail, Virgin of the Head, queen and mother of mercy, from the sunny slopes of the Jándula atalaya you are one of the summits uncomfortable.
Life, sweetness, and our hope, in the greatness of your altar serrano, which closed in columns of rocks enmotadas the Rocks of the Tamujar and Rosalejo, on the blue altarpieces of the sierra Madrona.

To thee we sigh, the Patron saint of the gates and stains, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears, that at thy feet we divide for your patronage in these valleys of the Estena and Bémbezar, of the Bullaque and Minnow; the Jándula and the Guadiana, on the map of Spain mosaics are of our humble offering.
Ea, pues, Señora, abogada nuestra, from your high Sanctuary, laureate and military, bless those soils that your look simple, sweet and always closed, since the harsh blackness of The Alarcones and The Contadero, until the sunny smile of Valdelagrana and the Socor, scribble female of your blessing generous.
Come back to us those, your merciful eyes, so that the power of your protection to be extended to the distant groves of Hornachuelos and of the Sierra de San Pedro; the untamed mountains of Ciudad Real and Toledo, to the snows of the Pyrenees and Cantabria, where some men of good will, worshipping the whole of Creation, in Thee worship to the most high and cute creatures.
And after this exile, Holy Virgin of Andújar, show us Jesus, the blessed fruit of thy womb.
Oh, the merciful! Oh, pious! Oh, sweet Virgin Mary! Protects all who love the solitude in which you are mantle and the fresh air that is a crown of light in your Sanctuary.
Pray for us, Holy Mother of God, that we may be worthy of reaching your mercedes in the service of a chivalrous rule of bad weather that has already led to Eustachian the Roman, German, welsh and Humberto of Aquitaine, by the path that leads to enjoy the promises of Our Lord jesus Christ, Amen."

Magnificat
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my savior; because he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden.
From now on will call me blessed all generations, for the Mighty one has done great things for me-holy is his name, and his mercy is faithful from generation to generation.
He shewed strength with his arm: dispersed the arrogant of heart, it breaks down the throne to the powerful and raises up the lowly, the hungry filled with good things; and the rich he has sent empty away.
Helps his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, the mercy promised to our forefathers, to Abraham and to his posterity for ever.
Under your protection
Under thy protection we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God:
Despise not our supplications in the needs,
more libranos always from all dangers.
Oh glorious and blessed Virgin!
Blessed be your purity
Blessed be your purity, and forever be,
As a God, it recreates, in so great beauty
A ti, celestial princesa, Virgen sagrada María,
I offer you this day, that soul, heart and life,
Look at me with compassion, don't leave me, Mother mine.
