1⃣ CORPUS CHRISTI NOVENA
DAY 5 - JUNE 14
Most holy body and blood of Christ, may we receive the grace of perseverance in Your love.
Most Holy and Almighty God, we thank you and praise you for giving us the most precious body and blood of Your only son, Jesus Christ. Through the institution of the Sacrament of Holy Communion we are able to nourish our bodies and souls. We thank you for having made Yourself our food and for uniting us with You in this beautiful Sacrament.
In receiving the body and blood of Jesus, we live in You and through You. We praise you for offering Yourself as a continual sacrifice to Your Eternal Father for our salvation. Although we are not worthy to receive You, You sacrifice Yourself for us daily. And so, we request your most Holy intercession:

If it is Your holy Will, please grant our requests.
PRAYER: Dear Lord Jesus, You made the ultimate sacrifice so that You could wash away the sins of the whole world. You have left us the great gift of your body and blood through the Holy Eucharist. We thank you and praise you every day for renewing in the daily sacrifice the actual sacrifice of the cross offered on Calvary, in which you gave divine justice and love for all of us sinners. Amen.
Glory be…

2⃣ NOVENA TO ST. THOMAS MORE
DAY 2 - JUNE 14
REFLECTION: DILIGENCE AND PERSISTENCE
Lord God, we honor the memory of our Saint, Saint Thomas More.
In his earthly life, he was a model of diligence.
He shunned procrastination, applied himself with fervor to his studies, and spared no effort in achieving mastery in any skill.
We ask that you grant to us, through his prayers and intercession, the virtues of diligence and persistence.
We also ask that, through his powerful intercession, we may obtain the favors we seek in this novena:

But if what we ask is not for the glory of God and the good of our souls, grant us, we pray, what is more conducive to both. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
St. Thomas More: Pray for us!

3⃣ NOVENA TO ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST
DAY 1 - JUNE 14
O Glorious, St. John the Baptist, greatest prophet among those born of woman, although thou was sanctified in thy mother's womb and didst lead a most innocent life, nevertheless it was thy will to retire into the wilderness, there to devote thyself to the practice of austerity and penance; obtain for us of thy Lord the grace to be wholly detached, at least in our hearts, from earthly goods, and to practice Christian mortification with interior recollection and with the spirit of holy prayer. Amen.
O glorious St. John the Baptist, through the love thou does bear to Jesus Christ, and for the glory of His Name,
Hear our prayers and obtain our petitions...
(State your intentions here…)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be...
St. John the Baptist, precursor of Christ: Pray for us!
St. John the Baptist, glorious forerunner of the Sun of Justice: Pray for us!
