1⃣ CORPUS CHRISTI NOVENA
DAY 6 - JUNE 15
Most holy body and blood of Christ, may we always remember your sorrowful Passion and sacrifice for us.
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:
(State your intentions here…)
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 3 - JUNE 15
REFLECTION: INDUSTRY AND PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE
Lord God, we honor the memory of our Saint, Saint Thomas More.
In his earthly life, he was a model of industriousness.
He threw himself wholeheartedly into everything he did, and he found enjoyment even in the most serious things.
We ask that you grant to us, through his prayers and intercession, the virtues of industry, and the pursuit of excellence.
We also ask that, through his powerful intercession, we may obtain the favors we seek in this novena:
(State your intentions here…)
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 2 - JUNE 15
O Most Zealous Apostle, who, without working any miracle on others, but solely by the example of thy life of penance and the power of thy word, didst draw after thee the multitudes, in order to dispose them to receive the Messiah worthily and to listen to His heavenly doctrine; grant that it may be given unto us, by means of the example of a holy life and the exercise of every good work, to bring many souls to God, but above all those souls that are enveloped in the darkness of error and ignorance and are led astray by vice. 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, minister of baptism to Jesus: Pray for us!
St. John the Baptist, burning and shining lamp of the world: Pray for us!

4⃣ NOVENA TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS
DAY 1 - JUNE 15
WHAT DO YOU DESIRE?
Jesus addresses the same question to you at the beginning of this novena
‘What do you want?' St. Augustine said that all our desires are really a longing for God in disguise; where there is real desire, there is prayer. So, be at peace in your desire, you are already praying!
TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I come to you at the start of this novena with a muddle of desires. Give me courage, to listen to what you want to say to me about these desires and give me the strength to accept your loving desires for me and for my loved ones. Amen.
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, the needs of your people open your heart in love for each of us. You care for us when we are lost, sympathize with us in loneliness, and comfort us in mourning; you are closest to us where we are weakest. You love us most when we love ourselves least; you forgive us most when we forgive ourselves least; and you call us to spread your love in whatever way we can.
Lord Jesus, your heart is moved with compassion when we are suffering, when we need your help, and when we pray for each other. I ask you to listen to my prayer during this Novena, and grant what I ask.
(State your intentions here…)
If what I ask is not for my own good and the good of others, grant me what is best, that I may build up your kingdom of love in our world. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.
