2⃣ NOVENA TO THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

DAY 5 - JUNE 11

GOD THE ANOINTED SAVIOR (JESUS)

MEDITATION

“Don't be afraid Mary, God has been gracious to you. You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High God.' Mary said to the angel, ‘ I am a virgin, how then can this be?' The angel answered: ‘The Holy Spirit will come on you, and God's power will rest upon you. For this reason, the holy Child will be called the Son of God.” (Lk. 1, 30-35)

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.
