3⃣ NOVENA IN HONOUR OF OUR LADY OF VELANKANNI (GOOD HEALTH)
DAY 3 - SEPTEMBER 1
Hail Mother of our love! You are our model of holy life. Renouncing all earthly affection, you consecrated yourself to God and spent your days in prayer in His Temple. But we who have been consecrated through baptism have not been faithful to our baptismal promise. Often we have failed and became unfaithful children. We have sought after the worldly amusements: We have offended our Divine Redeemer by our sins. Immaculate Mother who brought the Divine Mercy to us sinners, we regret for all our sins and beg through you for God's mercy and pardon. Stretch out your loving arms towards us, that we may drink the living water of Christ within your embrace. Amen.
(State your intentions here...)
I desire by this novena, which I now offer in your honour, to prove the lively confidence I have in your intercession. Accept it, I beseech you, in honour of that supernatural love and joy, with which your Immaculate Heart was replenished during the abode of your divine Son in your womb, in veneration of which, I offer you the sentiments of my heart. Amen.
Pray the three Hail Marys...
Our Lady of Velankanni, pray for us.

4⃣ NOVENA TO ST. NICHOLAS OF TOLENTINO
DAY 1 - SEPTEMBER 1
O good Jesus, mystically present upon our altars, renewing the oblation of Calvary for the sake of our salvation, we kneel in silence before thee, as Mary and John and Thy Blessed Mother knelt in the silence of that awful moment when the Angel of Dead spread his wings around the cross. We come to plead with Thee while our thoughts follow Thee down from Calvary to the prisons where the Holy Souls waited through the years of Thy coming.
We plead, dear Jesus, for the release of the poor souls now detained in the prisons of purgatory. We plead through the memory of that moment when Thy agonizing Heart ceased to beat on the cross. We plead through the merits of the angels that serve Thee, through the merits of the Saints who surround Thee, through the merits of Saint Nicholas of Tolentino, the efficacy of whose great charity towards the poor souls is our encouragement to approach Thy Divine Bounty.
In Thy compassion and mercy for those whom Thou hast redeemed, deign, once again, through the intercession of Saint Nicholas, to open the gates of purgatory that the heavens may see the passing of multitudes to eternal happiness.
Glory be …
Eternal Rest…
PRAYER
Grant, we beseech Thee, O Almighty God, that Thy Church, which is made illustrious with the glory of the prodigies and miracles of Saint Nicholas, Thy Blessed confessor, may, by his merits and intercession enjoy perpetual unity and peace.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be…
St. Nicholas, Patron of the Holy Souls, pray for us.
