Novena · Day 6 of 9
Santa Muerte novena: day 6
This is the sixth day of the Santa Muerte novena, dedicated to protection. Many people turn to Santa Muerte because they feel unprotected: on the street, at work or in their own home. The sixth day is for asking for her mantle over yourself and your family, and also for the good sense not to go looking for danger.
Order for day 6
- Light your candle and keep a moment of silence.

1. Opening prayer
Most Holy Death, White Girl, here I am before you.
I light this candle as a sign that I come with an open heart.
I bring you nothing but what I am: my weariness, my doubts and my faith.
You who make no difference between the rich and the poor,
you who wait for everyone with the same patience,
receive me during these nine days of prayer.
May every night I spend before you leave me a little more at peace.
So be it.
Santa Muerte novena, day 6: protection
2. Prayer for the sixth day
Most Holy Death, cover me with your mantle.
Watch over my steps when I leave home and when I return.
Protect my family from accidents, bad company and bad intentions.
Let envy not come through my door,
and let any harm wished on me find no place to stay.
And give me the good sense not to go looking for danger.
3. Your request
Say in your own words what you want to ask for or give thanks for. You don't need to say it out loud.
4. Closing prayer
Most Holy Death, thank you for listening to me one more night.
I leave in your hands what I have asked of you, knowing that your time is not mine.
Watch over those I love, those who are far away and those who have already passed.
When my hour comes, may you find me at peace and with nothing left unsettled.
Until tomorrow, my Lady.
So be it.
