1⃣ NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF FATIMA

DAY 5 - MAY 8

Mary, at Fatima you told us: "Do penance." At this time, it may seem an especially galling task; we would rather point out how grievously we have been wronged by others. It may seem that your Son's proverb has been turned on its head – the plank is in our brother's eye, the speck in our own. Yet still we must turn our scrutiny upon ourselves. Having been deeply hurt, we recognize that we have also hurt others, and we seek all the more readily to mend what we have broken.

Mary, help me find the humility to seek forgiveness for my sins and make amends for my wrongful actions. Help me to open my heart to the healing touch of Jesus.

PRAYER: Most Holy Virgin, who has deigned to come to Fatima to reveal to the three little shepherds the treasures of graces hidden in the recitation of the Rosary, inspire our hearts with a sincere love of this devotion, so that by meditating on the mysteries of our redemption that are recalled in it, we may gather the fruits and obtain the conversion of sinners, the conversion of Russia, and this favour that I so earnestly seek, (State your intentions here…) which I ask of you in this novena, for the greater glory of God, for your own honour, and for the good of all people. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be…

Our Lady of Fatima: Pray for us!

2⃣ NOVENA TO ST. DYMPHNA

DAY 3 - MAY 8

FOR CHARITY

God of love, Thou art the most perfect Being, and Creator of all that is good and beautiful. Through the intercession of St. Dymphna, who in her youth loved Thee above all creatures and for Thy sake loved her neighbor as herself, as the image and likeness of Thee, as the price of the Blood of Jesus and as co-heir of heaven, be pleased to help us by Thy powerful grace, that we may faithfully fulfill the two great commandments of charity not only in word, but in action and in truth, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be...

St. Dymphna: Pray for us!

3⃣ NOVENA FOR THE ASCENSION

DAY 1 - MAY 8

REFLECTION: Jesus appeared to his Apostles and other disciples for forty days after he rose from the dead. He instructed them on many things as he prepared them to lead his Church in the years to come. He told them joyful news about the coming of the Holy Spirit, and that the Holy Spirit would come to them after his Ascension into heaven.

PRAYER: Jesus, please help us to always remain close to You, and we particularly ask You today to help us and all people to grow in holy joy! Help us to devote our lives more fully to You each day. Give us the grace to remain in Your friendship until we die. And I especially ask in this novena for,

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be…

Lord, hear our prayers! Amen.
