1⃣ NOVENA TO ST. ALOYSIUS GONZAGA
DAY 4 - JUNE 15
Lord, we thank You for giving us St. Aloysius Gonzaga as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the love of You that led him to renounce his worldly inheritance and follow You. St. Aloysius Gonzaga, you were born into a family of wealthy means. Your parents expected you to take up a worldly profession, but you persevered in your desire to serve God in a religious vocation. Please persevere in bringing my petitions before God!
(State your intentions here…)
You had to choose between your inheritance and your religious vocation. Despite the pressures of your family, you chose to serve God in the path He was calling you to. Pray for me, that I may always choose to serve God, no matter the cost. Pray that I may never allow worldly influence to lead me away from God. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
St. Aloysius Gonzaga: Pray for us!

2⃣ CORPUS CHRISTI NOVENA
DAY 3 - JUNE 15
Most holy body and blood of Christ, You are the greatest gift from God and we praise you greatly.
Most Holy and Almighty God, we thank you and praise you for giving us the most precious body and blood of Your only son, Jesus Christ. Through the institution of the Sacrament of Holy Communion we are able to nourish our bodies and souls. We thank you for having made Yourself our food and for uniting us with You in this beautiful Sacrament.
In receiving the body and blood of Jesus, we live in You and through You. We praise you for offering Yourself as a continual sacrifice to Your Eternal Father for our salvation. Although we are not worthy to receive You, You sacrifice Yourself for us daily. And so, we request your most Holy intercession:
(State your intentions here…)
If it is Your holy Will, please grant our requests.
PRAYER: Dear Lord Jesus, You made the ultimate sacrifice so that You could wash away the sins of the whole world. You have left us the great gift of your body and blood through the Holy Eucharist. We thank you and praise you every day for renewing in the daily sacrifice the actual sacrifice of the cross offered on Calvary, in which you gave divine justice and love for all of us sinners. Amen.
Glory be…

3⃣ NOVENA TO ST. THOMAS MORE
DAY 3 - JUNE 15
REFLECTION: INDUSTRY AND PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE
Lord God, we honor the memory of our Saint, Saint Thomas More.
In his earthly life, he was a model of industriousness.
He threw himself wholeheartedly into everything he did, and he found enjoyment even in the most serious things.
We ask that you grant to us, through his prayers and intercession, the virtues of industry, and the pursuit of excellence.
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!

4⃣ NOVENA TO ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST
DAY 1 - JUNE 15
O Glorious, St. John the Baptist, greatest prophet among those born of woman, although thou was sanctified in thy mother's womb and didst lead a most innocent life, nevertheless it was thy will to retire into the wilderness, there to devote thyself to the practice of austerity and penance; obtain for us of thy Lord the grace to be wholly detached, at least in our hearts, from earthly goods, and to practice Christian mortification with interior recollection and with the spirit of holy prayer. Amen.
O glorious St. John the Baptist, through the love thou does bear to Jesus Christ, and for the glory of His Name,
Hear our prayers and obtain our petitions...
(State your intentions here…)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be...
St. John the Baptist, precursor of Christ: Pray for us!
St. John the Baptist, glorious forerunner of the Sun of Justice: Pray for us!
