1⃣ NOVENA TO ST. ALOYSIUS GONZAGA

DAY 2 - JUNE 13

Lord, we thank You for giving us St. Aloysius Gonzaga as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the openness to Your will that he showed in discerning his vocation. St. Aloysius Gonzaga, your felt drawn to missionary work from the time you were very young. You were inspired by the work of Jesuit missionaries, so you you began to discern how God was calling you to serve Him. Please bring my petitions before God Whom you longed to serve!

(State your intentions here…)

You visited religious orders and began teaching catechism classes, as you sought God's will for your life. You soon determined that your vocation was to serve God in the Jesuit religious order. Pray for me, that I may be open to God's will in my life. Pray that I may always be open to whatever path He might call me to. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

St. Aloysius Gonzaga: Pray for us!

2⃣ NOVENA TO ST. THOMAS MORE

DAY 1 - JUNE 13

REFLECTION: PRUDENCE AND COURAGE

Lord God, we honor the memory of our Saint, Saint Thomas More.

In his earthly life, he was a model of prudence. He never thrust himself rashly into any serious undertaking; instead, he tested the strength of his powers and waited on God's will in prayer and penance, then boldly carried it out without hesitation.

We ask that you grant to us, through his prayers and intercession, the virtues of prudence, and courage. We also ask that, through his powerful intercession, we may obtain the favors we seek in this novena:

(State your intentions here…)

But if what we ask is not for the glory of God and the good of our souls, grant us, we pray, what is more conducive to both. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

St. Thomas More: Pray for us!
