1⃣ NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
DAY 9 - DECEMBER 7
O Mother of the King of the Universe, most perfect member of the human race, "our tainted nature's solitary boast," we turn to you as mother, advocate, and mediatrix. O Holy Mary, assist us in our present necessity. By your Immaculate Conception, O Mary conceived without sin, we humbly beseech you from the bottom of our heart to intercede for us with your Divine Son and ask that we be granted the favor for which we now plead...
(State your intentions here...)
O Mary of the Immaculate Conception, Mother of Christ, you had influence with your Divine Son while upon this earth; you have the same influence now in heaven. Pray for us and obtain for us from him the granting of my petition if it be the Divine Will. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be…
PRAYER: O God, who by the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, did prepare a worthy dwelling place for Your Son, we beseech You that, as by the foreseen death of this, Your Son, You did preserve Her from all stain, so too You would permit us, purified through Her intercession, to come unto You. Through the same Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen.
Our Lady of Immaculate Conception: Pray for us!

2⃣ NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE
DAY 5 - DECEMBER 7
Virgin gentle in mercy, in Juan Diego's anxiety to bring a priest to his dying uncle, he failed to keep his appointment with you. Yet, you rewarded his filial love by restoring his uncle to health. Your compassion allowed Juan Diego to fulfill the mission you gave him, returning to the bishop with the proof the bishop sought. Teach us, Mother, to put God's holy will ahead of all created things, including our loved ones, and help remove the obstacles that prevent us from following God's will. Amen.
(State your intentions here…)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be...
PRAYER: O Immaculate Virgin, mother of the true God and mother of the Church! You, who revealed your clemency and your pity to all those who ask for your protection, hear the prayer that we address to you with filial trust, and present it to your Son Jesus, our sole Redeemer.
Mother of Mercy, teacher of hidden and silent sacrifice, to you we dedicate on this day all our being and all our love. We also dedicate to you our life, our work, our joys, our infirmities, and our sorrows.
Grant peace, justice, and prosperity to our people, for we entrust to your care all that we have and all that we are, our Lady and Mother.
We wish to be entirely yours and to walk with you along the way of complete faithfulness to Jesus Christ and his Church: hold us always in your loving hand.
Virgin of Guadalupe, Mother of the Americas, we pray to you for all the bishops, that they may lead the faithful along paths of intense Christian life, of love and humble service of God and souls. Grant to our homes the grace of loving and respecting life in its beginnings, with the same love with which you conceived in your womb the life of the Son of God.
Blessed Virgin Mary, protect our families, so that they may always be united, and bless the upbringing of our children. Thus, Most Holy Mother, with the peace of God in our conscience, with our hearts free from evil and hatred, we will be able to bring to all true joy and true peace, which come to us from your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who with God the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.
(Pope John Paul II, January 25, 1979)

3⃣ NOVENA TO ST. LUCY
DAY 4 - DECEMBER 7
TODAY WE PRAY FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST THEIR EYES DUE TO ACCIDENTS, ETC.
Dearest Saint Lucy, your name means light; by the light of faith which God bestowed upon you, increase and preserve his light in my soul, so that I may avoid evil, be zealous in the performance of good works, and abhor nothing so much as the blindness and the darkness of evil and sin.
Please obtain for me from God perfect vision for my bodily eyes and the grace to use them for God's greater honor and glory and for the salvation of souls.
St. Lucy, Virgin and Martyr, hear my prayers and obtain what I ask through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
St. Lucy intercede for the people who have lost their eyes due to accidents, etc. that the Lord's mercy may come upon them and they may be healed.
(State your intentions here…)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be...
Relying on Your goodness, O God, we humbly ask You, through the intercession of Saint Lucy, Virgin and Martyr, to give perfect vision to our eyes, to our minds, and to our hearts that our eyesight and insight may serve Your greater honor and glory.
Saint Lucy, hear our prayers and obtain for us from God all that we need and desire. Amen.
St. Lucy: Pray for us!
