Rosary - 27 days - in thanksgiving (3 novenas) whether or not the prayer has been answered

In Petition:

"Sweetest Virgin Mary, Mother of God and my Mother, please accept this irresistible novena which i offer up to you for the intentions i plead. i place before you all the intentions, needs, and desires of my heart and soul. i beg of thee to pray for my intentions (in particular...) i trust in your intercession and know our prayers will win for me what i so desire. amen."

(after each decade)

Sorrowful Mysteries

"Sweetest Jesus crucified behold Your sorrowful Mother prays for me. can you despise her prayers, she who suffered so much for love of You? on behalf of her tears, on behalf of her most motherly and loving heart pierced by a sword of grief, hear her prayers on my behalf. My Jesus, i know it is impossible for You to despise this most loving Mother's prayers. amen"

Joyful Mysteries

"Jesus please hear the prayers of Your most holy Mother for my intentions, she whose womb You dwelled in and sanctified. i know her Immaculate soul is most pleasing to You, she who was blessed above all creatures as to be freed from all stain of sin since the moment of her conception. please do not despise the many sighs from her Immaculate Heart, she who loved You more than any other creature. amen"

Glorious Mysteries

"Jesus, King and God, You loved Your Mother so much that You most willingly assumed her body and soul into Heaven. now that she is beside You in Heaven, pleading our every cause, will You despise her prayers? her love for You is most pure, and You have always been her only Treasure. will You despise the prayer of this Loving Queen, You Yourself crowned? amen"

in thanksgiving

"Mary i thank you so much for the graces you have given me and for these intentions of mine whi you have prayed to be granted. i offer up this irresistible novena in thanksgiving for all that you have given me. i love you so much and i place upon your head a crown of roses. may every "Hail Mary" be like a sweet song in thanksgiving offered up to You and Jesus. amen"
