1⃣ NOVENA TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
DAY 8 - MAY 22
SELF-CONTROL
Let us bow down in humility at the power and grandeur of the Holy Spirit. Let us worship the Holy Trinity and give glory today to the Paraclete, our Advocate.
Oh Holy Spirit, by thy power, Christ was raised from the dead to save us all. By thy grace, miracles are performed in Jesus' name. By thy love, we are protected from evil. And so, we ask with humility and a beggar's heart for thy gift of Self-Control within us.
Thy Martyrs had the overwhelming self-control to go joyfully to a painful death without shrinking from the opportunity to join thee in heaven. Give us this self-control to have command over our emotions and desires that we may serve thee more fully. Amen.

PRAYER: Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of thy faithful and kindle in them the fire of thy love. Send forth thy Spirit and they shall be created, and thou shall renew the face of the earth.
O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of thy faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise, and ever rejoice in His consolation, through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

O Mary, Thou hast always been the special guide and protectress of Saint Peter's successor, the Bishop of Rome. Keep our present Holy Father in Thy loving care. Defend him from all harm; and give him all those gifts he needs to be the faithful shepherd of Thy Son's flock.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be…

Mary, Help of Christians: Pray for us!

3⃣ NOVENA TO ST. PHILIP NERI
DAY 6 - MAY 22
PHILIP'S CHEERFULNESS
Philip, my glorious Advocate, who didst ever follow the precepts and example of the Apostle St. Paul in rejoicing always in all things, gain for me the grace of perfect resignation to God's will, of indifference to matters of this world, and a constant sight of Heaven; so that I may never be disappointed at the Divine providences, never desponding, never sad, never fretful; that my countenance may always be open and cheerful, and my words kind and pleasant, as becomes those who, in whatever state of life they are, have the greatest of all goods, the favour of God and the prospect of eternal bliss. Amen.
(State your intentions here…)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be...
PRAYER: O glorious St. Philip, who wast so favored by God with the gift of consoling and assisting thy spiritual children at the hour of death, be also my advocate and father when I shall find myself at that dreadful moment. Obtain for me that at that hour the devil may not conquer me, nor temptation overcome me, nor fear itself revile me; but that, strengthened by a lively faith, a fervent hope and, a sincere charity, I may sustain with patience and perseverance that supreme struggle, and that, full of confidence in the mercy of the Lord, and in the infinite merits of Jesus Christ and the protection of the Most Blessed Mary, I may deserve to die the death of the just, and be united with thee and all the saints in the blessed home of Paradise, to praise and enjoy the Lord forever. Amen.
St. Philip Neri: Pray for us!

4⃣ NOVENA TO THE MOST HOLY TRINITY
DAY 1 - MAY 22
GOD THE FATHER
Our Father who art in heaven
MEDITATION: In the New Testament, Jesus spoke about the Father and to the Father 170 times (to Mary His Mother only three times.) From the beginning of His ministry, Jesus would say: "I was sent by the Father," "Your God and my God," "the Father and I are one." "I do only the things told by my Father," "Father, not my will but Yours be done," etc.
ADORER'S PRAYER
(Taught by the Angel of God to the three children at Fatima)
O my God, I believe, I adore, I hope, I love Thee! I ask pardon for those who do not believe, nor adore, nor hope, nor love Thee.
O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly! I offer Thee the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, Present in all the Tabernacles of the world, for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference committed against Thee in which He Himself is offended. Amen.
DIVINE PRAISES TO THE MOST HOLY TRINITY
Blessed be God in His Majesty
Blessed be The Most Holy Trinity
