1⃣ NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY

DAY 9 - OCTOBER 6

O Mary Immaculate, Mother of the Babe of Bethlehem, light in our poor dull hearts, a tiny spark of the spirit of childlike innocence. Three tiny ones in Fatima drew from our loving Lord, the favor of your saving presence here on earth. How often you have shown your great regard for the sinlessness of youth! Can we show you, Mother Mary, that we really understand, in any better way than by a fervent prayer for all the little children everywhere? Keep them, O sinless Mother, in their happy innocence. Protect their homes. Preserve the schools wherein they learn, and let them not be harmed by godless teaching. Direct their play and little chores that they may grow in wisdom, age and grace. Inspire their parents everywhere with a Godly fear and love of His Commandments.

Grant that through the prayers of little ones, we may soon enjoy the peace and unity that you have foretold. I ask this favor that I so earnestly seek, (mention your request) in this novena, for the greater glory of God, for your own honor, and for the good of all people. May the Blessed Trinity hasten the day when the world will be restored in thought and word and deed, through the name of Jesus Christ, Thy Son, and to the honor of thine own great Immaculate Heart. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

Our Lady of the Rosary, we beg to share in the triumph of thy Immaculate Heart throughout the world.
Our Lady of the Rosary: Pray for us!

2⃣ NOVENA TO ST. TERESA OF AVILA

DAY 1 - OCTOBER 6

WE THANK CHRIST FOR THE GIFT OF FAITH, ONE OF THE THREE THEOLOGICAL VIRTUES, AND FOR THE GIFT OF DEVOTION TO THE EUCHARIST, AND WE ASK HIM TO INCREASE THOSE GIFTS IN OUR SOULS, AS HE DID FOR SAINT TERESA.

PRAYER: O most amiable Lord Jesus Christ! We thank Thee for the great gift of faith and of devotion to the Holy Sacrament, which Thou didst grant to Thy beloved Teresa; we pray Thee, by Thy merits and by those of Thy faithful spouse, to grant us the gift of a lively faith, and of a fervent devotion toward the most Holy Sacrament of the altar; where Thou, O infinite Majesty! hast obliged Thyself to abide with us even to the end of the world, and wherein Thou didst so lovingly give Thy whole Self to us. (Note: In the first verse of the prayer, the phrase "Thy faithful spouse" refers to the Church, the Bride of Christ, through whose agency we have access to the Eucharist, in both adoration and Holy Communion).

(State your intentions here...)

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

V. St. Teresa, pray for us.
R. That we may become worthy of the promises of Jesus Christ.

LET US PRAY: Graciously hear us, O God of our salvation! that as we rejoice in the commemoration of the blessed virgin Teresa, so we may be nourished by her heavenly doctrine, and draw from thence the fervor of a tender devotion; through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever. Amen.
