1⃣ NOVENA TO ST. MARIA GORETTI

DAY 7 - JULY 3

O St. Maria Goretti, beautiful model of Christian suffering, pray for me.

You carried your cross so courageously while you suffered through surgery without anesthesia. You thirsted and were not able to be given water, and you accepted that cross because you loved our Lord.

Pray for me, St. Maria Goretti, that I will become better at carrying my cross.

Pray that I will not complain about my cross, and that I will remember to offer it up to our Lord, for I know that He does not waste any ounce of suffering given to Him. Amen.

Please also pray for (state your intentions here…)

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

St. Maria Goretti: Pray for us!

2⃣ NOVENA TO ST. BENEDICT

DAY 2 - JULY 3

St. Benedict, you attracted followers to whom you gave a rule known for its moderation. You, St. Benedict, became a father to many monasteries and monks through this rule where you emphasized that the monastery is for people who want to change their bad habits into good. Make us aware of our bad habits and inspire us not to be comfortable with them. Our bad habits, dear saint, will keep us away from Jesus and engrained in us the power of sin. O dear St. Benedict, help us that we may work for the transformation of our bad habits. Amen.

PRAYER: Glorious St. Benedict who taught us the way to perfection by the practice of mortification, humility, obedience, prayer, silence, and detachment from the world, I kneel at your feet and humbly beg you to take my present needs under your special protection (here make your request). Recommend it to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and lay it before the throne of Jesus. Cease not to intercede for me until my request is granted. Above all, obtain for me the grace to meet God face to face with you, Mary, and all the angels and saints to praise him through all eternity. O most powerful St. Benedict, do not let me lose my soul, but obtain for me the grace of winning my way to heaven and there worship and enjoy the Most Holy and Adorable Trinity forever and ever. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

Intercede for us, O holy father Saint Benedict.

That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

LET US PRAY: O God, Who hast called us from the vanity of the world, and Who dost incite us to the reward of a heavenly vocation under the guidance of the holy patriarch and founder, Saint Benedict, inspire and purify our hearts and pour forth on us Thy grace, whereby we may persevere in Thee. Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
