| Novena to Our Lady
of Perpetual Help |
O
Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may ever invoke your
powerful name, the protection of the living and the salvation of
the dying. Purest Mary, let your name henceforth be ever on my
lips. Delay not, Blessed Lady, to rescue me whenever I call on
you. In my temptations, in my needs, I will never cease to call on
you, ever repeating your sacred name, Mary, Mary. What a
consolation, what sweetness, what confidence fills my soul when I
utter your sacred name or only think of you! I thank the Lord for
having given you so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name. But I
will not be content with merely uttering your name. Let my love
for you prompt me ever to hail you Mother of Perpetual Help.
Mother of Perpetual Help, pray for me and grant me the favor I
confidently ask of you...(indicate petition). Hail, Mary...

| Novena to Pope St.
Pius X |
Glorious
Pope of the Eucharist, St. Pius X, you sought to restore all
things in Christ. Obtain for me a true love of Jesus so that I may
live only for him. Help me to acquire a lively fervor and a
sincere will to strive for sanctity of life, and that I may avail
myself of the riches of the Holy Eucharist in sacrifice and
sacrament. By your love for Mary, Mother and Queen of all, inflame
my heart with tender devotion to her. Blessed model of the
priesthood, obtain for us holy, dedicated priests, and increase
vocations to the religious life. Dispel confusion and hatred and
anxiety, and incline our hearts to peace and concord, so that all
nations will place themselves under the sweet reign of Christ.

| Novena to St.
Anthony to Find a Lost Article |
St.
Anthony, perfect imitator of Jesus, who received from God the
special power of restoring lost things, grant that I may find...(name lost article) which has been lost. At least restore to me
peace and tranquility of mind, the loss of which has afflicted me
even more than my material loss. To this favor I ask another of
you: that I may always remain in possession of the true good that
is God. Let me rather lose all things than lose God, my supreme
good. Let me never suffer the loss of my greatest treasure,
eternal life with God. Amen.

union with those of Jesus and Mary, grant me the grace for which I
ask... And you, my powerful intercessor, St. Gerard, always so

| Novena to St.
Peregrine (Patron of Cancer Sufferers) |
Glorious
wonder-worker, St. Peregrine, you answered the divine call with a
ready spirit, and forsook all the comforts of a life of ease and
all the empty honors of the world to dedicate yourself to God in
the Order of His Holy Mother. You labored manfully for the
salvation of souls. In union with Jesus crucified, you endured
painful sufferings with such patience as to deserve to be healed
miraculously of an incurable cancer in your leg by a touch of His
divine hand. Obtain for me the grace to answer every call of God
and to fulfill His will in all the events of life. Enkindle in my
heart a consuming zeal for the salvation of all men. Deliver me
from the infirmities that afflict my body, especially... Obtain
for me also a perfect resignation to the sufferings it may please
God to send me, so that, imitating our crucified Savior and His
sorrowful Mother, I may merit eternal glory in heaven. St.
Peregrine, pray for me and for all who invoke your aid.

| Novena to the Holy
Spirit (Friday After Ascension to Vigil of Pentecost) |
O
Holy Spirit, O my God, I adore Thee, and acknowledge, here in Thy
divine presence, that I am nothing and can do nothing without
Thee. Come, great Paraclete, Thou father of the poor, Thou
comforter the best, fulfil the promise of our blessed Savior, Who
would not leave us orphans, and come into the mind and the heart
of Thy poor, unworthy creature, as Thou didst descend on the
sacred day of Pentecost on the holy Mother of Jesus and on His
first disciples. Grant that I may participate in those gifts which
Thou didst communicate to them so wonderfully, and with so much
mercy and generosity. Take from my heart whatever is not pleasing
to Thee, and make of it a worthy dwelling-place for Thyself.
Illumine my mind, that I may see and understand the things that
are for my eternal good. Inflame my heart with pure love of Thee,
that I may be cleansed from the dross of all inordinate
attachments, and that my whole life may be hidden with Jesus in
God. Strengthen my will, that I may be made conformable to Thy
divine will, and be guided by Thy holy inspirations. Aid me by Thy
grace to practice the divine lessons of humility, poverty,
obedience, and contempt of the world, which Jesus taught us in His
mortal life. Oh, rend the heavens, and come down, consoling
Spirit! that inspired and encouraged by Thee, I may faithfully
comply with the duties of my state, carry my daily cross most
patiently, and endeavor to accomplish the divine will with the
utmost perfection. Spirit of love! Spirit of purity! Spirit of
peace! Sanctify my soul more and more, and give me that heavenly
peace which the world cannot give. Bless our Holy Father the Pope,
bless the Church, bless our bishops, our priests, all Religious
Orders, and all the faithful, that they may be filled with the
spirit of Christ and labor earnestly for the spread of His
kingdom. O Holy Spirit, Thou Giver of every good and perfect gift,
grant me, I beseech Thee, the intentions of this novena. May Thy
will be done in me and through me. Mayest Thou be praised and
glorified forevermore! Amen.

| St. Joseph Novena
(Said 3/11-3/19) |
O
St. Joseph whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt
before the Throne of God, I place in you all my interests and
desires. O St. Joseph, assist me by your powerful intercession and
obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings through
Jesus Christ, Our Lord; so that having engaged here below your
heavenly power I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most
loving of Fathers. O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you
and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach while He
reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine
Head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying
breath. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for us. Amen.
