1⃣ NOVENA TO ST. TERESA OF AVILA

DAY 6 - OCTOBER 11

Pray for us, that we may be able to pray during times of grief.

PRAYER

O most loving Heavenly Father! We thank you for the great gift you gave us through your beloved St. Teresa of Avila, virgin and doctor of the Church. Her life was a great example of prayer, sacrifice and faith in You. We humbly pray for her most holy intercession…

(State your intentions here...)

St. Teresa, we know that you are a powerful intercessor because of your close relationship to the Holy Mother and Jesus through prayer. Open wide the doors to the interior castle of our hearts and souls so that we may know how to pray!

CLOSING PRAYER

St. Teresa of Avila, you are an example of prayerful holiness that we will try to follow. You are in heaven praising God. With your seat of honor, please beg God to bring me to eternal rest with you.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

Saint Teresa of Avila, pray for us! Amen.

2⃣ NOVENA TO ST. MARGARET MARY ALACOQUE

DAY 5 - OCTOBER 11

REFLECTION

I think He intends to try you like gold in the crucible, so as to number you amongst His most faithful servants. Therefore you must lovingly embrace all occasions of suffering, considering them as precious tokens of His love. To suffer in silence and without complaint is what He asks of you.

--- St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

PRAYER

Saint Margaret Mary, thou who wast made a partaker of the divine treasures of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, obtain for us, we beseech thee, from this adorable Heart, the graces we need so sorely.

(State your intentions here...)

We ask these favors of thee with unbounded confidence. May the divine Heart of Jesus be pleased to bestow them upon us through thy intercession, so that once again He may be loved and glorified through thee. Amen.

Pray for us, O St. Margaret Mary
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

3⃣ NOVENA TO ST. GERARD MAJELLA

DAY 5 - OCTOBER 11

Saint Gerard, model of holy obedience, who through your life did heroically submit your judgment to those who represent Jesus Christ to you, therefore sanctifying your lowliest actions, obtain for me from God cheerful submission to His Holy Will and the virtue of perfect obedience, that I may be made conformable to Jesus, my Model, who was obedient even to death.

Hail Mary...

Pray for us, O Saint Gerard
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

PRAYER

Almighty and Everlasting God, who did draw to Yourself Saint Gerard, even from his tenderest years, making him conformable to the Image of Your Crucified Son, grant we beseech You, that imitating his example, we may be made like unto the same Divine Image, through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
