1⃣ NOVENA TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
DAY 9 - MAY 22
GOODNESS
Let us bow down in humility at the power and grandeur of the Holy Spirit. Let us worship the Holy Trinity and give glory today to the Paraclete, our Advocate.
Oh Holy Spirit, by thy power, Christ was raised from the dead to save us all. By thy grace, miracles are performed in Jesus' name. By thy love, we are protected from evil. And so, we ask with humility and a beggar's heart for thy gift of Goodness within us.
We want to be like thy Saints in heaven. Holy Spirit, renew us by thy power with thy Goodness that we may bring the Good News to the world. Amen.

PRAYER: Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of thy faithful and kindle in them the fire of thy love. Send forth thy Spirit and they shall be created, and thou shall renew the face of the earth.
O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of thy faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise, and ever rejoice in His consolation, through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

2⃣ NOVENA TO THE MOST HOLY TRINITY
DAY 2 - MAY 22
GOD THE SON (JESUS)
"This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased"
MEDITATION: At the Baptism of Jesus and Transfiguration, the Father's words were heard: “This is My beloved Son in whom I am well-pleased, listen to Him”: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not die but have eternal life.”; “So that all who will honor the Son in the same way as they honor the Father. Who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.” (Jn. 5,23)
ADORER'S PRAYER
(Taught by the Angel of God to the three children at Fatima)
O my God, I believe, I adore, I hope, I love Thee! I ask pardon for those who do not believe, nor adore, nor hope, nor love Thee.
O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly! I offer Thee the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, Present in all the Tabernacles of the world, for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference committed against Thee in which He Himself is offended. Amen.
DIVINE PRAISES TO THE MOST HOLY TRINITY
Blessed be the Most Holy Trinity, the Undivided Unity
Blessed be the Most Merciful Trinity
Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us.

3⃣ NOVENA TO MARY HELP OF CHRISTIANS
DAY 8 - MAY 22
O Mary, the wonderful way Thou hast helped Saint John Bosco's work to grow and spread, shows that Thou havest a great love for the young. As Thou watched over the Child Jesus at Nazareth, so now watch over all young people, especially those most in need, and help them to grow daily in love of Thy Son.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be…
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, place deep in our hearts the love of Mary, our help and the help of all Christians. May we fight vigorously for the faith here on earth, and may we one day praise Thy victories in Heaven. Grant this in the name of Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Our Lord. Amen.
Mary, Help of Christians: Pray for us!

4⃣ NOVENA TO ST. PHILIP NERI
DAY 6 - MAY 22
PHILIP'S CHEERFULNESS
Philip, my glorious Advocate, who didst ever follow the precepts and example of the Apostle St. Paul in rejoicing always in all things, gain for me the grace of perfect resignation to God's will, of indifference to matters of this world, and a constant sight of Heaven; so that I may never be disappointed at the Divine providences, never desponding, never sad, never fretful; that my countenance may always be open and cheerful, and my words kind and pleasant, as becomes those who, in whatever state of life they are, have the greatest of all goods, the favour of God and the prospect of eternal bliss. Amen.
(State your intentions here…)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be...
PRAYER: O glorious St. Philip, who wast so favored by God with the gift of consoling and assisting thy spiritual children at the hour of death, be also my advocate and father when I shall find myself at that dreadful moment. Obtain for me that at that hour the devil may not conquer me, nor temptation overcome me, nor fear itself revile me; but that, strengthened by a lively faith, a fervent hope and, a sincere charity, I may sustain with patience and perseverance that supreme struggle, and that, full of confidence in the mercy of the Lord, and in the infinite merits of Jesus Christ and the protection of the Most Blessed Mary, I may deserve to die the death of the just, and be united with thee and all the saints in the blessed home of Paradise, to praise and enjoy the Lord forever. Amen.
St. Philip Neri: Pray for us!
