1⃣ NOVENA TO ST. DOMINIC SAVIO
DAY 8 - MAY 4
FOR RECONCILIATION AND HEALING - "I AM NOT ALONE"
Dear Lord, send into our hearts a ray of light, love, sorrow, that we may know, confess the sins we have committed against You. Heal the wounds and hurts which divide us with others. Renew our minds and hearts. May we find in the sacrament of reconciliation an experience of worship in spirit and in truth, healing acceptance and transforming love.
Saint Dominic Savio, you who participated in the Sacrament of Reconciliation frequently and found in it healing and a way of holiness, helps us to go to Confession often and to resist temptation. Obtain for us the favors we ask for and implore through you powerful intercession. Amen.
(State your intentions here…)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
PRAYER: Dear Saint Dominic, you spent your short life totally for love of Jesus and His Mother. Help us today to realize the importance of God in our lives. You became a saint through fervent participation in the sacraments; enlighten parents and children to the importance of frequent confession and Holy Communion. At a young age you meditated on the sorrowful Passion of Our Lord. Obtain for us the grace of a fervent desire to suffer for love of Him.
We desperately need your intercession to protect us from the snares of the world. Watch over us and lead us on the narrow road to Heaven. Ask God to give us the grace to sanctify our daily duties by performing them perfectly out of love for Him. Remind us of the necessity of practicing virtue especially in times of trial. Amen.
St. Dominic Savio, you who preserved your Baptismal innocence of heart, pray for us!

2⃣ NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF FATIMA
DAY 1 - MAY 4
Mary, you appeared to the children of Fatima to deliver an urgent message about our troubled world. Soon after, the entire world was at war, resulting in terrible sorrow and destruction. Today, as violence has erupted again, in distant lands and even in our own home, the prayers and sacrifice you pleaded for are needed as much as ever. Some parts of the world are torn by fighting disguised as religious zeal, and even our own neighborhoods are divided by racial tension. Charity begins at home; if we fail to love the neighbor at our doorstep, how will we spread the Gospel of love beyond?
Mary, today I hear your words and I call upon your Son to come to our aid and end the suffering that we cause one another. I pray for an end to all wars throughout the world. Help us, Jesus, to sow love in the place of hatred.
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!
