1⃣ NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF FATIMA
DAY 4 - MAY 7
At Fatima, Mary, you called on us to make sacrifices. The great needs of our suffering brothers and sisters in our country and around the world ask of us sacrifices today. Many have answered these requests with gifts of money and supplies. Many others have chosen to serve something greater than themselves, far from the comfort of home. Let us all be willing to give what we can; let us all seek to think less of ourselves than of those who have less.
Whisper a reminder in my ear each morning, Mary, to offer all my day's actions, thoughts, and words, all my gifts of time and treasure, to God. As I make this offering, I call to mind all the people affected by my actions each day. I ask God today to help me to be motivated by love and compassion in all that I do.
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 2 - MAY 7
FOR HOPE
Almighty and infinitely good God, Thou hast promised eternal salvation to those who obey Thy commandments and make zealous use of Thy graces. Through the intercession of St. Dymphna, who fled from the danger of sin by leaving the palace of her father, and who, eager to gain eternal salvation, fled to Belgium to live in poverty, we beg Thee to grant that we also, who are striving for eternal happiness, may overcome all obstacles in the way of virtue and may attain eternal salvation. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
(State your intentions here...)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be...
St. Dymphna: Pray for us!
