1⃣ NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF FATIMA
DAY 7 - MAY 10
Mary, through the power of God you performed a miracle at Fatima and made the sun dance. Jesus told us that, even with faith the size of a mustard seed, we can move mountains. This is hard to believe – yet every day, we all have opportunities to make a great difference in the world. We can open closed hearts with our love. This may seem a small and undramatic kind of miracle, but it is the kind most needed today.
Mary, I pray that I might follow your example, and allow myself to be one through whom God works in the world. Though the work may be so small and simple as to seem insignificant, help me to trust in God's greater plan. May I be always, like you, willing to answer God's call.
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!

FOR PRUDENCE
O God, ruler of the universe, Thou didst allow St. Dymphna to discover a helpful means of avoiding the evil intentions of her father. Through the merits of Thy holy servant, be pleased to grant that we may become, according to the words of Jesus, simple as doves and wise as serpents, so that through prudent advice and sound judgment we may recognize what we must do to achieve the great work of our salvation, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be...
St. Dymphna: Pray for us!

3⃣ NOVENA FOR THE ASCENSION
DAY 3 - MAY 10
REFLECTION: During the forty days after Jesus' Resurrection when he appeared to his Apostles, he told them that he would be with them always. As he prepared them for his Ascension into heaven, he instructed them and helped them to understand that they could hope to spend eternity in heaven with him.
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 the virtue of hope! Help us to grow in love for You each day of our lives. Give us the grace to look forward to the hope of spending eternity with You in heaven. And I especially ask in this novena for,

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be…
Lord, hear our prayers! Amen.
