September 7th Novena 
In Honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Revealed to Venerable Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824), (a Catholic nun who suffered the pains of the stigmata), and who achieved a high level of sanctity during her holy and fruitful life.

The Blessed Virgin Mary Speaks 
to Venerable Anne Catherine Emmerich:

    I saw the Blessed Virgin on the eve of her nativity. She said to me: "Whoever says this evening," (Sept. 7th) "nine times the Hail Mary lovingly and devoutly to honor the nine months spent in my mother's womb as also my birth, and continues the same devotion for nine consecutive days, daily gives to the angels nine flowers for a bouquet. This bouquet they bear to Heaven and offer to the Most Holy Trinity to obtain some favor for the one that prays."
