2⃣ 9 DAYS NOVENA TO ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA
DAY 9 - JUNE 12
Saint Anthony, servant of Mary, glory of the Church, pray for our Holy Father, our bishops, our priests, our Religious Orders, that, through their pious zeal and apostolic labors, all may be united in faith and give greater glory to God. St. Anthony, helper of all who invoke thee, pray for me and intercede for me before the throne of Almighty God that I be granted the favor I so earnestly seek in this novena (State your intention).
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!

3⃣ NOVENA TO THE MOST HOLY TRINITY
DAY 7 - JUNE 12
GOD THE PROVIDER (FATHER)
“Give us this day our daily bread”
MEDITATION: “So do not start worrying: Where will my food come from? Or my drink? Or my clothes? These are the things the pagans are always concerned about. Your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things. Instead be concerned about everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what He required of you and He will provide You with all those other things. So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the trouble each day brings.” (Mt. 6, 31-34)
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 the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete
Blessed be the Almighty and Eternal God
Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us.

4⃣ NOVENA TO ST. ALOYSIUS GONZAGA
DAY 1 - JUNE 12
Lord, we thank You for giving us St. Aloysius Gonzaga as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the love of You that he showed throughout his life, beginning in his youth. St. Aloysius Gonzaga, you began your journey to holiness when you were very young. As you were recovering from an illness, you turned your attention to prayer and study of the saints. From then on, you grew in devotion to God. Please bring my petitions before the throne of God!
(State your intentions here…)
You were committed to chastity, and you longed to serve God as a missionary. Though you were still young, you did all you could to prepare yourself for a life of service to God. Pray for me, that I may always seek to serve God in my life. Pray that I may do all I can to serve God in whatever ways He calls me to. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
St. Aloysius Gonzaga: Pray for us!
