1⃣ NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF FATIMA
DAY 3 - MAY 6
The children of Fatima heard your plea to pray. Today, we also need to pray, especially for peace in the world. We have been reminded most painfully of how uncertain life is, and how fragile. Yet rather than despair, we are moved to grow closer to God, so as to know the comfort of His presence in this world and in the next. For the kingdom comes like a thief in the night; truly we know not the hour nor the day.
Show me, Mary, how to pray always. Help me to speak to God as to a trusted friend, sharing my truest feelings. Guide me, also, in my efforts to reach that perfect inner silence, so that I may listen for what God has to tell me. Throughout my busy and distracting days, help me to keep my mind and my heart centered on God.
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!

2⃣ NOVENA TO ST. DYMPHNA
DAY 1 - MAY 6
FOR FAITH
O God, Source of our salvation, in the midst of a pagan people, Thou didst enlighten St. Dymphna by the light of the true faith, which she professed under the guidance of her holy confessor, Gerebran, with such constance that she suffered martyrdom. Through the intercession of these two saints, we beg Thee to strengthen the faith which Thou hast given us, so that by wisely subjecting our souls to Thy Supreme Authority, and by faithfully conforming our lives according to our faith, we may honor Thee with our whole heart and soul until the hour of our death, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
(State your intentions here...)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be...
St. Dymphna: Pray for us!
