1⃣ NOVENA TO INFANT JESUS OF PRAGUE

DAY 9 - JANUARY 13

How many blessings, O Little Child has Your almighty right hand poured out on those who honour You and call upon You. Bless me also, O Child Jesus, my soul, my body and my interests. Bless and help me in my necessities, and grant me what I now desire. Listen with compassion to my prayers and I will bless Your Holy Name every day.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

By Your Divine Infancy, O! Jesus, grant me the grace that I now ask (State your intentions here…) if it is according to Your will and for my true good. Do not look upon my unworthiness, but rather on my faith and show me Your infinite mercy.

V. Blessed be the name of the Lord

R. Now and forever.

PRAYER: O God, who has appointed Your only begotten Son as Saviour of the human race, and wished that He be called Jesus, grant us to be able one day, to contemplate Him face to face in Heaven whose Holy Name we venerate on earth. Amen.

Infant Jesus of Prague: Have mercy on us.

2⃣ NOVENA TO ST. SEBASTIAN

DAY 3 - JANUARY 13

FAITH, YOUR GREATEST TREASURE

O St. Sebastian, thou strong Pillar of faith, to Countless pagans thou hast shown the way to Christ; the Christians, enlightened by Thy words, gladly sacrificed earthly life and all, that they may gain all and Life Eternal. Steadfastly Thou withstoodst the emperor and didst vanquish human wisdom in defense of Christian truth. Thou didst despise the pleasures and treasures of the world to gain the everlasting joys of heaven: obtain for me the grace that I may grow ever stronger in my faith and never put my trust in the fallacious things of the world. May I also be ready to sacrifice everything rather than to be separated from Christ in eternity.

(State your intentions here…)

PRAYER: My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ see me humbly prostrate before Thee to implore Thy mercy. I am a wretched sinner who has lived hitherto in ease and wanton negligence of my Christian duties. How dangerously close have I been in the past to becoming a traitor to Thee! Pardon me, good and merciful Jesus. I will change my life: with ardent love I will adhere to Thee in future and prove myself worthy of being Thy disciple and follower of St. Sebastian. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

St. Sebastian: Pray for us!

FOR SACRED VOCATION

Almighty and ever living God, you glorified Vincent Pallotti and made him a powerful intercessor in heaven. We come before you with our petitions and place before you all our needs and cares. We declare our readiness to accept whatever you send us. Trusting in your divine providence, we cast ourselves like Vincent Pallotti in your loving arms. O God of all consolations, have compassion on all those who suffer and are in need. We beg you today through the intercession of St. Vincent Pallotti, to grant us a clear vision of our sacred vocation. Remove all anxiety from our hearts and help us to persevere in our call.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

O glorious St. Vincent, intercede for us before the Lord and obtain for us all the graces we ask for. Merciful Father, St. Vincent glorified you before men while here on earth. Now glorify him, by answering his prayers on our behalf. We make this prayer through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

St. Vincent Pallotti: Pray for us!
