1⃣ NOVENA TO ST. VINCENT FERRER

DAY 9 - APRIL 4

FOR THE DESIRE OF HEAVEN

O St. Vincent Ferrer, during the time you were on earth, you used to repeat in your dejected hours, “One will rest in the other life.” It is done, you are in eternal peace, and eternal happiness. I desire to follow you one day. Until then, I hear you saying to me: “You should work and fight as long as you are in the world.” Teach me then to work for the salvation of my soul, to spread the good news and good example and to do good towards those around me in order that I will receive the happiness of the Elect with you. Holy Priest of St. Dominic, I have confidence in your intercession. Pray for me during this novena especially for..

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

PRAYER: O my protector, St. Vincent Ferrer, as the eternal God has deposited in you an inexhaustible treasure of grace and of supernatural virtues, hear my earnest petition, and help me with your intercession, more powerful now even than when you were on earth. Hence with blind confidence do I cast myself at your feet, there to place my requests for all those in whom I am concerned but more particularly for (special favour). O glorious saint, let not my confidence in you be deceived. Present for me, to the Divine Majesty, your suppliant prayers and watch over my soul. Should sorrow and trials increase, so also will my rejoicing increase, and may my patience grow with each day, that I may thus save my soul. Amen.

St. Vincent Ferrer: Pray for us!

2⃣ NOVENA TO ST. GEMMA GALGANI

DAY 3 - APRIL 4

Oh most Divine Lord, we humbly prostrate ourselves before Thy Infinite Majesty, and we adore Thee and dedicate to Thy glory the devout prayers which we now present to Thee, as an act of devotion to your servant, St. Gemma Galgani, whose intercession we are now imploring.

O most loving virgin St. Gemma, with a fervent love for Jesus you suffered immensely for the conversion of sinners as a victim for sin, and you loved others intensely out of love for God. Do not forget us then, who remain here on earth, and look down with kindness on those of us who implore thee in the confident hope of receiving this favor through thy loving intercession..

(State your intentions here…)

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

PRAYER: O God, Who fashioned thy servant Saint Gemma into a likeness of Thy Crucified Son, grant us through her intercession the favor that we humbly request, and through the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Thy Son, may we be united with You for all eternity. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

St. Gemma Galgani: Pray for us!
