1⃣ NOVENA TO ST. THOMAS AQUINAS
DAY 9 - JANUARY 27
ST. THOMAS YOU HAVE TAUGHT
SUPPOSE A PERSON ENTERING A HOUSE WERE TO FEEL HEAT ON THE PORCH, AND GOING FURTHER, WERE TO FEEL THE HEAT INCREASING, THE MORE THEY PENETRATED WITHIN. DOUBTLESS, SUCH A PERSON WOULD BELIEVE THERE WAS A FIRE IN THE HOUSE, EVEN THOUGH THEY DID NOT SEE THE FIRE THAT MUST BE CAUSING ALL THIS HEAT. A SIMILAR THING WILL HAPPEN TO ANYONE WHO CONSIDERS THIS WORLD IN DETAIL: ONE WILL OBSERVE THAT ALL THINGS ARE ARRANGED ACCORDING TO THEIR DEGREES OF BEAUTY AND EXCELLENCE, AND THAT THE NEARER THEY ARE TO GOD, THE MORE BEAUTIFUL AND BETTER THEY ARE. -Sermon on the Apostles' Creed, 13-14
PRAYER: Through the intercession of St. Thomas Aquinas, Grant me grace, O merciful God, to desire ardently all that is pleasing to Thee, to examine it prudently, to acknowledge it truthfully, and to accomplish it perfectly, for the praise and glory of Thy name. In particular, please obtain the favor I ask during this novena..
(State your intentions here…)
Grant me, O Lord my God, a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct pleasing to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of finally embracing you. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
St. Thomas Aquinas: Pray for us!

4⃣ NOVENA TO ST. BLAISE
DAY 3 - JANUARY 27
O St. Blaise, look kindly on us your devotees who at times find it difficult to experience Jesus' presence in the Eucharist. We lack faith because we want to see in order to believe. We sacrifice easily our Sunday masses for other activities. Inspire us then to renew our faith in the Eucharist and to participate in it with full mind and heart, attentive to Jesus' presence.
(State your intentions here…)
PRAYER: St. Blaise, gracious benefactor of mankind and faithful servant of God, who for the love of our Savior suffered many tortures with patience and resignation; I invoke your powerful intercession. Preserve me from all evils of body and soul. Because of your special merits, God has given you special graces to help those who suffer from ills of the throat. Relieve and preserve me from them, so that I may always be able to fulfill my duties and with the aid of God's grace, perform good works. I invoke your help as special physician of souls that I may confess my sins sincerely in the holy sacrament of penance and obtain their forgiveness. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
St. Blaise, protect us from all throat ailments.
