1⃣ NOVENA TO ST. VINCENT FERRER
DAY 5 - MARCH 31
CONFESSOR OF SOULS
O powerful preacher of God's word, you knew how important a good confession for the Christian life was. I will try to develop the habit of frequent confession, to prepare properly each time and to have always regret for my sins, so that not only the grace of final perseverance but also the sanctification of my soul will be assured. Ask this grace for me. Holy Priest of St. Dominic, I have confidence in your intercession. Pray for me during this novena especially for..
(State your intentions here…)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
PRAYER: O my protector, St. Vincent Ferrer, as the eternal God has deposited in you an inexhaustible treasure of grace and of supernatural virtues, hear my earnest petition, and help me with your intercession, more powerful now even than when you were on earth. Hence with blind confidence do I cast myself at your feet, there to place my requests for all those in whom I am concerned but more particularly for (special favour). O glorious saint, let not my confidence in you be deceived. Present for me, to the Divine Majesty, your suppliant prayers and watch over my soul. Should sorrow and trials increase, so also will my rejoicing increase, and may my patience grow with each day, that I may thus save my soul. Amen.
St. Vincent Ferrer: Pray for us!

2⃣ DIVINE MERCY NOVENA
DAY 3 - MARCH 31
INTENTION
Today bring to Me ALL DEVOUT AND FAITHFUL SOULS, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. The souls brought Me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were that drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness.
NOVENA PRAYERS
Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your mercy, You impart Your graces in great abundance to each and all. Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from It. We beg this grace of You by that most wonderous love for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the holy faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen.
Pray the "DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET".

3⃣ ANNUNCIATION NOVENA
DAY 2 - MARCH 31
THE PROMISE OF A REDEEMER
Man merited God's malediction and punishment, but Divine Mercy and Love promised a Redeemer Who would satisfy for man's sin and restore to him the destiny that he lost. "And the Lord God said to the serpent: I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed; she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel" (Gen 3: 14-15).
PRAYER: I greet you, Ever-blessed Virgin, Mother of God, Throne of Grace, miracle of Almighty Power! I greet you, Sanctuary of the Most Holy Trinity and Queen of the Universe, Mother of Mercy and refuge of sinners!
Most loving Mother, attracted by your beauty and sweetness, and by your tender compassion, I confidently turn to you, miserable as I am, and beg of you to obtain for me from your dear Son the favour I request in this novena.
(State your intentions here…)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
Obtain for me also, Queen of heaven, the most lively contrition for my many sins and the grace to imitate closely those virtues which you practiced so faithfully, especially humility, purity and obedience. Above all, I beg you to be my Mother and Protectress, to receive me into the number of your devoted children, and to guide me from your high throne of glory.
Do not reject my petitions, Mother of Mercy! Have pity on me, and do not abandon me during life or at the moment of my death. Amen.
