Novena to our lady of Pompeii

By FR. PADRE THORNTON

The devotion to Our Lady of Pompeii is a testament to how divine grace can transform both places and people. In the late nineteenth century, the ancient ruins of Pompeii were still a desolate valley shadowed by Mount Vesuvius. Amid that bleak setting, Blessed Bartolo Longo-a former skeptic and lapsed Catholic-experienced a dramatic conversion. Inspired by the Rosary and a call to serve the poor, he dedicated his life to Mary and to spreading devotion to her Son through this simple yet powerful prayer.Bartolo encountered a worn and nearly discarded painting of the Madonna of the Rosary, depicting Mary presenting the Rosary to Saint Dominic and Saint Catherine of Siena. Recognizing its spiritual significance, he placed the image in a modest chapel in Pompeii in 1875. Miraculous healings and answered prayers quickly followed. Pilgrims flocked to the site, donations poured in, and within a few years the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii rose from the once-barren landscape.Today the shrine stands as an international center of Marian devotion. Countless visitors still pray the Rosary before the miraculous image, continuing the legacy of faith and charity that Bartolo began. This novena draws from that same well of grace, inviting you to walk a nine-day journey of prayer, trust, and renewal.
