3⃣ NOVENA IN HONOUR OF OUR LADY OF VELANKANNI (GOOD HEALTH)
DAY 4 - SEPTEMBER 2
O Mother of Health, we are proud of you, being the Mother of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We praise you in great joy of our heart. We meditate with devotion on the glad tidings, the Angel Gabriel brought to you. Hail Mary, full of Grace! You have been raised to the dignity of the Mother of God by your submission. The God of grace assumed our human nature and lived in your blessed womb. You are blessed among women. We pray to you that we may bear in us our loving God and be filled with His grace. Help us that we may be humble and chaste to resemble you, and be enriched with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We ardently desire to be united with our God through the fruitful reception of the Sacraments. O Our Heavenly Mother, we call you Blessed and entreat you to bless us all with your loving arms, which embraced our Divine Master. 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 2 - SEPTEMBER 2
Remember, O gentle and compassionate Lord, the mercy that stirred Thy heart when the cry of misery and sorrow came to Thine ears in Israel, how Thine eyes searched the rocks for the poor lepers who called out to Thee, how Thou didst reach out Thy hand to the daughter of Jairus, and the widow's son of Naim, how tears came to Thine eyes at the tomb of Lazarus. Look down upon the land of sufferings, where souls that love Thee await for the touch of Thy healing mercy. Through the merits of Thine own great sufferings which appeased the Eternal Justice, reach out Thy Hand once more in its infinite power to save and relieve the Holy Souls in their sufferings. O Lord, hear our prayers, unworthy though they be. We unite with the prayers of Thy holy servant, St. Nicholas of Tolentino, in the grotto of San Angelo, with the prayers which he offered to Thee though the silent hours of the night, with the prayer with which he bless Thine infinite goodness and mercy for Thy miraculous aid in his ministry. Hear our prayers for those who cannot plead for themselves, and grant to the poor souls in purgatory happiness and rest.
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.
