Novena to Our Lady of Good Success is launched in defence of marriage

For my Catholic and Orthodox visitors, in particular here's an important message from Kevin Rowles:
"Dear Friends ... Regarding the Government’s proposal to introduce legislation for same-sex marriage. It seems that the threat grows. [See my post today reporting on the government's publication of the bill tomorrow]. The second reading of the government's Marriage (Same Sex Couples) bill will be on February 5th. Prayer is needed. Don’t forget that the Feast of the Purification on Feb 2nd is also the Feast of Our Lady of Good Success (a devotion with full ecclesiastical approval) – please try to make the novena in preparation, from Thurs 24th Jan to 1st Feb and include the same-sex marriage threat intention in the novena, or make the novena specifically for that intention. Our Lady of Good Success promised particular graces and helps for those who invoke Her under this title, in these times. Regarding the threat to the Sacrament of Marriage in our times, Our Lady said:- “The sacrament of Matrimony, which symbolizes the union of Christ with the Church, will be thoroughly attacked and profaned. Masonry, then reigning, will implement iniquitous laws aimed at extinguishing this sacrament.”
