1⃣ NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF FATIMA
DAY 9 - MAY 12
Mary, your apparition at Fatima was an extraordinary event. Most of us will never experience an apparition. But we know that Christ lives in our hearts and comes to us in the Eucharist. How wonderful it is that we can receive the body and blood of your Son and be nourished by it.
Thank you, Mary, for appearing to Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta and delivering a message that is as relevant today as it was then. Thank You, God my Creator, for giving me life and so many blessings. Thank You, Jesus, for giving me Your body and blood in the Eucharist. And thank You, Holy Spirit, for dwelling in me and giving me courage. Most of all, thank You, God, for Your love.
PRAYER: Most Holy Virgin, who has deigned to come to Fatima to reveal to the three little shepherds the treasures of graces hidden in the recitation of the Rosary, inspire our hearts with a sincere love of this devotion, so that by meditating on the mysteries of our redemption that are recalled in it, we may gather the fruits and obtain the conversion of sinners, the conversion of Russia, and this favour that I so earnestly seek, (State your intentions here…) which I ask of you in this novena, for the greater glory of God, for your own honour, and for the good of all people. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be…
Our Lady of Fatima: Pray for us!

2⃣ NOVENA TO ST. DYMPHNA
DAY 7 - MAY 12
FOR FORTITUDE
O God, rewarder of those who remain firm in their good resolutions, Thou gavest St. Dymphna such a love of virtue that she had the courage to suffer privation, persecution, and even martyrdom. Through her prayers we beg Thee to grant us fortitude that we may courageously and perseveringly overcome ourselves and finally conquer the enemy of our salvation, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be…
St. Dymphna: Pray for us!

3⃣ NOVENA FOR THE ASCENSION
DAY 1 - MAY 12
REFLECTION: Jesus appeared to his Apostles and other disciples for forty days after he rose from the dead. He instructed them on many things as he prepared them to lead his Church in the years to come. He told them joyful news about the coming of the Holy Spirit, and that the Holy Spirit would come to them after his Ascension into heaven.
PRAYER: Jesus, please help us to always remain close to You, and we particularly ask You today to help us and all people to grow in holy joy! Help us to devote our lives more fully to You each day. Give us the grace to remain in Your friendship until we die. And I especially ask in this novena for,

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be…
Lord, hear our prayers! Amen.
