1⃣ NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF GOOD COUNSEL
DAY 3 - APRIL 19
Mary, our Mother, you have always been concerned with the affairs of the world and of each person throughout history. Your counsel to us extends back to your earthly life when you spoke of your Son, commanding us: “Do whatever He tells you”. Our Lady of Good Counsel, today, I ask for your intercession for a world in need of your guidance and for counsel in my own life.
(State your intentions here…)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
PRAYER: Blessed Mary, Star of the Sea, guide us now as you have guided pilgrims in years past. Be our constant beacon, a blazing light in this dark night, and lead us home to dwell with your Son forever and ever. Amen.
For guidance for our city's leaders, pray for us.
For counsel for those who are homeless, pray for us.
For an increase in love, trust, and devotion to your Immaculate Heart that leads us to Jesus, pray for us.

2⃣ DIVINE MERCY NOVENA
DAY 2 - APRIL 19
INTENTION
Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them as through channels My mercy flows out upon mankind.
NOVENA PRAYERS
Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service, that they may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company of chosen ones in Your vineyard–upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen.
Pray the "DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET".

3⃣ NOVENA TO ST. LOUIS DE MONTFORT
DAY 1 - APRIL 19
St. Louis de Montfort, you consecrated yourself to Jesus through Mary in your earthly life and are even more fully devoted to them now in Heaven. I ask that you present my petitions before our most blessed Mother, who will in turn place them at the feet of her Son.
(State your intentions here…)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
St. Louis de Montfort, two of the ten principal virtues that Mary exemplified were deep humility and constant self-denial. Please intercede on my behalf that I may grow in humility and self-denial, seeing myself through God's eyes, that I may offer myself more fully to Christ working through me. Amen.
St. Louis de Montfort: Pray for us!
