1⃣ NOVENA TO ST. PADRE PIO

DAY 8 - SEPTEMBER 21

Oh most pure and chaste Saint Padre Pio, during your life on earth you gave a most beautiful example of purity and love of God, and was found worthy to bear in thy flesh the marks of our Lord's Passion. Have pity on us who are so much in need of God's Mercy, and obtain for us through thy merits and intercession, the special favor which we now fervently implore (mention your request)

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

PRAYER: Oh most Holy God, we humbly prostrate ourselves before Thy Infinite Majesty, and we adore Thee and dedicate to Thy glory the devout prayers which we now present to Thee, as an act of devotion to your servant, St. Padre Pio, whose intercession we are now imploring.

May God hear and answer our prayer according to His holy will and for His greater glory. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

St. Padre Pio: Pray for us!

EQUANIMITY - REFLECTION

“Live together as having one heart and one soul so that by this union of spirit, you may be a true image of the unity of God.” (St. Vincent to Sr. Anne Hardemont 30 July 1651, no. 1389)

PRAYER: St. Vincent, man of equanimity, be with us as we learn how to balance our days with deep care and grace.

(State your intentions here...)

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

Bless us as we open ourselves to unity within the Trinity, and as we strive to be truly fruitful in our ministry to people who are poor. Amen.

St. Vincent De Paul: Pray for us!

3⃣ NOVENA TO MARY UNDOER OF KNOTS

DAY 3 - SEPTEMBER 21

Meditating Mother, Queen of heaven, in whose hands the treasures of the King are found, turn your merciful eyes upon me today. I entrust into your holy hands this knot in my life (mention your petition here...) and all the rancor and resentment it has caused in me.

Virgin Mary, Mother of fair love, Mother who never refuses to come to the aid of a child in need, Mother whose hands never cease to serve your beloved children because they are moved by the divine love and immense mercy that exist in your heart, cast your compassionate eyes upon me and see the snarl of knots that exists in my life. You know very well how desperate I am, my pain, and how I am bound by these knots. Mary, Mother to whom God entrusted the undoing of the knots in the lives of his children, I entrust into your hands the ribbon of my life. No one, not even the evil one himself, can take it away from your precious care. In your hands there is no knot that cannot be undone. Powerful Mother, by your grace and intercessory power with Your Son and My Liberator, Jesus, take into your hands today this knot.

(Mention your petition here...)

I beg you to undo it for the glory of God, once for all. You are my hope.

O my Lady, you are the only consolation God gives me, the fortification of my feeble strength, the enrichment of my destitution, and, with Christ, the freedom from my chains. Hear my plea. Keep me, guide me, protect me, o safe refuge! Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

Mary, Undoer of Knots: Pray for me!

4⃣ NOVENA TO ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL

DAY 2 - SEPTEMBER 21

OPENING PRAYER: St. Michael the Archangel, we honor you as a powerful protector of the Church and guardian of our souls. Inspire us with your humility, courage and strength that we may reject sin and perfect our love for our Heavenly Father.

In your strength and humility, slay the evil and pride in our hearts so that nothing will keep us from God.

St. Michael the Archangel, pray that we may have the grace to see the image of God in the least of our brothers and sisters.

CLOSING PRAYER: St. Michael the Archangel, you are the prince of angels but in your humility you recognized that God is God and you are but His servant. Unlike Satan, you were not overcome with pride but were steadfast in humility. Pray that we will have this same humility.

It is in the spirit of that humility that we ask for your intercession for our petitions…

(State your intentions here...)

“Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.” Amen.
