3⃣ NOVENA IN HONOUR OF OUR LADY OF VELANKANNI (GOOD HEALTH)
DAY 6 - SEPTEMBER 4
O Immaculate Mother, who can ever describe your renowned fame? The God of heaven came to this earth through you. Bearing Jesus in you, you gave Him your whole self to form His human body. Virgin Mother of God, we praise you and pay our homage to you. You, who reside in Heaven with your Divine Son, are our sweetness; you, who radiate the light of the Eternal Light, are our guide; we pray you to teach us to love your Divine Son more and more. We acknowledge Him to be our King and you to be our Queen. He is our Mediator between the Heavenly Father and human race; you are the Mediatrix between our Lord and us, poor sinners. Jesus is the Way and you are its Entrance. O Fair Flower of the race of David, through you our Creator became our Redeemer, the God of all present was carried in your blessed womb, the God who feeds all was fed by you. Most Noble Mother, all generations call you blessed. We pray you to show your motherly love towards us, your poor children and to lead us to Eternal Salvation. 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 4 - SEPTEMBER 4
O ever blessed and adorable God, we remember how Thou didst permit Thy servant Saint Nicholas of Tolentino, to see a multitude of the poor sufferers expiating their sins in purgatory, how the vision overwhelmed him with grief, and how his heart pour out its gratitude to Thee, when Thou didst accept the penances and prayers which He offered Thee in union with the infinite merits of the Holy Sacrifice. On the seventh day of his continual appeal to Thy mercy, Thou didst open wide the gates of purgatory and paradise, permitting his eyes to behold the great multitudes that were passing to their eternal rest with Thee. Vouchsafe now, O Lord, to show forth the wonders of Thy mercy. Grant, through the devotion of the Septenarium of the Saint, that the faithful departed may pass, this day, from the plains of darkness and suffering to the light of the Beatific Vision of heaven.
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.
