1⃣ NOVENA TO ST. POPE JOHN PAUL II
DAY 8 - OCTOBER 20
“People are made for happiness. Rightly, then, you thirst for happiness. Christ has the answer to this desire of yours. But He asks you to trust Him. True joy is a victory, something which cannot be obtained without a long and difficult struggle. Christ holds the secret of this victory.” Dear St. John Paul II, once again, you in simple words tell us that God is our victorious Savior; nothing is more important than life with Him.
PRAYER
Merciful God, accept our thanksgiving for the gift of St. John Paul II's apostolic life and mission and through his intercession, please, GRANT US THIS PETITION (mention your petition). Grant us also to grow in love for you and proclaim boldly the love of Christ to all people, through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
O Blessed Trinity, we thank you for having graced the Church with St. John Paul II and for allowing the tenderness of your Fatherly care, the glory of the Cross of Christ, and the splendor of the Spirit of love to shine through him. Trusting fully in Your infinite mercy, and in the maternal intercession of Mary, he has given us a living example of Jesus the Good Shepherd, and has shown us that holiness is the necessary measure of ordinary Christian life and is the way of achieving eternal communion with You. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
St. John Paul II, pray for us.

2⃣ NOVENA TO ST. JUDE
DAY 2 - OCTOBER 20
Most holy St. Jude – apostle, martyr and friend of Jesus, today I ask that you pray for me and my intentions!
(State your intentions here...)
You are the patron of the impossible. Pray for me and my intentions! O St. Jude, pray that God's grace and mercy will cover my intentions. Pray for the impossible if it is God's will.
Pray that I may have the grace to accept God's holy will even if it is painful and difficult for me.
St. Jude, pray that I may have your zeal to preach the Gospel.
O St. Jude, pray for me that I may grow in faith, hope and love and in the grace of Jesus Christ. Pray for these intentions, but most of all pray that I may join you in heaven with God for all eternity. Amen.
St. Jude, pray for us.
