1⃣ NOVENA TO THE HOLY SPIRIT

DAY 8 - JUNE 6

SELF-CONTROL

Let us bow down in humility at the power and grandeur of the Holy Spirit. Let us worship the Holy Trinity and give glory today to the Paraclete, our Advocate.

Oh Holy Spirit, by thy power, Christ was raised from the dead to save us all. By thy grace, miracles are performed in Jesus' name. By thy love, we are protected from evil. And so, we ask with humility and a beggar's heart for thy gift of Self-Control within us.

Thy Martyrs had the overwhelming self-control to go joyfully to a painful death without shrinking from the opportunity to join thee in heaven. Give us this self-control to have command over our emotions and desires that we may serve thee more fully. Amen.

PRAYER: Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of thy faithful and kindle in them the fire of thy love. Send forth thy Spirit and they shall be created, and thou shall renew the face of the earth.

O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of thy faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise, and ever rejoice in His consolation, through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

2⃣ 13 DAYS NOVENA TO ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA

DAY 7 - JUNE 6

Anthony, through your teaching and preaching you bore witness to the loving presence of God in all of creation. Now that you have come into the fullness of the kingdom, pray for us that our lives might also proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ to all humanity.

PRAYER: Almighty, Eternal God, you have given your people St. Anthony as an outstanding preacher and intercessor in times of need. Grant that with his help we may follow in the example of Christian living and experience your support in all adversities. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

St. Anthony, “Lover of the Eucharist,” help us find true devotion in the presence of Christ in the Eucharist by accepting his invitation to feed his people. {pause} We are companions of St. Anthony, Lover of the Eucharist: may we recognize Jesus “in the breaking of the bread” and in all people, we pray:

(State your intentions here…)

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

O good St. Anthony, Lover of the Eucharist, pray for us. Amen.

BRIEF STORY OF ST. ANTHONY'S LIFE

ST. ANTHONY AND THE EUCHARISTIC MIRACLE WITH THE DONKEY

Though foreign and sickly, St. Anthony soon came to be recognized by the friars as a brilliant theologian and powerful preacher. He was assigned to preach throughout Italy and southern France. At Rimini he was heckled by a heretic who denied the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.

St. Anthony challenged the heretic to let his donkey choose between a file of sumptuous animal fodder or the Eucharist. As St. Anthony held the Blessed Sacrament, the donkey approached and knelt in adoration.

St. Anthony of Padua: Pray for us!

3⃣ 9 DAYS NOVENA TO ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA

DAY 3 - JUNE 6

O purest St. Anthony, who through thine Angelic virtue was made worthy to be caressed by the Divine Child Jesus, to hold Him in thy arms and press Him to thy heart. I entreat thee to cast a benevolent glance upon me. O glorious St. Anthony, born under the protection of Mary Immaculate, on the Feast of her Assumption into Heaven, and consecrated to her and now so powerful an intercessor in Heaven, I beseech thee to obtain for me the favor I ask in this novena  (State your intention). O great wonder-worker, intercede for me that God may grant my request.

O wonderful St. Anthony, glorious on account of the fame of your miracles, and through the condescension of Jesus in coming in the form of a little child to rest in your arms, obtain for me of His bounty the grace which I ardently desire from the depths of my heart .

(State your intention)

You who were so compassionate toward miserable sinners, regard not the unworthiness of those who pray to you, but the glory of God that it may once again be magnified by the granting of the particular request (State your intention) which I now ask for with persevering earnestness. Amen.

One Our Father, One Hail Mary, and Glory Be to the Father, in honor of Saint Anthony.

Saint Anthony, pray for us!

4⃣ NOVENA TO THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

DAY 1 - JUNE 6

GOD THE FATHER

Our Father who art in heaven

MEDITATION: In the New Testament, Jesus spoke about the Father and to the Father 170 times (to Mary His Mother only three times.) From the beginning of His ministry, Jesus would say: "I was sent by the Father," "Your God and my God," "the Father and I are one." "I do only the things told by my Father," "Father, not my will but Yours be done," etc.

ADORER'S PRAYER

(Taught by the Angel of God to the three children at Fatima)

O my God, I believe, I adore, I hope, I love Thee! I ask pardon for those who do not believe, nor adore, nor hope, nor love Thee.

O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly! I offer Thee the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, Present in all the Tabernacles of the world, for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference committed against Thee in which He Himself is offended. Amen.

DIVINE PRAISES TO THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

Blessed be God in His Majesty
Blessed be The Most Holy Trinity

Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us.
