1⃣ DIVINE MERCY NOVENA

DAY 4 - APRIL 1

INTENTION

Today bring to Me THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD AND THOSE WHO DO NOT YET KNOW ME. I was thinking also of them during My bitter Passion, and their future zeal comforted My Heart. Immerse them in the ocean of My mercy.

NOVENA PRAYERS

Most compassionate Jesus, You are the Light of the whole world. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who do not believe in God and of those who as yet do not know You. Let the rays of Your grace enlighten them that they, too, together with us, may extol Your wonderful mercy; and do not let them escape from the abode which is Your Most Compassionate Heart.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who do not believe in You, and of those who as yet do not know You, but who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Draw them to the light of the Gospel. These souls do not know what great happiness it is to love You. Grant that they, too, may extol the generosity of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Pray the "DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET".

NOVENA TO ST. VINCENT FERRER

DAY 6 - APRIL 1

REAL PRESENCE

O holy Priest and Preacher, whose only comfort in this world was the real presence of Jesus in the tabernacle, was it not your great joy to distribute the Eucharist to the people who visited you? You refused Communion to the souls who refused to reform but to souls of goodwill, you opened wide the doors of the Eucharistic Feast. You, who each day at Holy Mass received Holy Communion with great love, give me some of your fervour. With freedom from mortal sin, obtain for me a sincere desire to profit from receiving Holy Communion. Holy Priest of St. Dominic, I have confidence in your intercession. Pray for me during this novena especially for..

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!

3⃣ ANNUNCIATION NOVENA

DAY 3 - APRIL 1

THE EXPECTATION OF THE MESSIAH

Man, under the sorrow and effects of the first misery, and the accumulation of personal sins of each succeeding generation, looked and wept and prayed for the realization of the promise. All the Jewish history and ceremonial shows the eagerness with which God's people were looking for deliverance. Isaiah says: "Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the just; let the earth be opened and bud forth a Saviour" (Is 45: 8). 'O that thou wouldst rend the heavens, and wouldst come down; the mountains would melt away at thy presence" (Is 64: 1).

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.
