1⃣ NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF FATIMA
DAY 7 - MAY 10
Mary, through the power of God you performed a miracle at Fatima and made the sun dance. Jesus told us that, even with faith the size of a mustard seed, we can move mountains. This is hard to believe – yet every day, we all have opportunities to make a great difference in the world. We can open closed hearts with our love. This may seem a small and undramatic kind of miracle, but it is the kind most needed today.
Mary, I pray that I might follow your example, and allow myself to be one through whom God works in the world. Though the work may be so small and simple as to seem insignificant, help me to trust in God's greater plan. May I be always, like you, willing to answer God's call.
PRAYER: Most Holy Virgin, who has deigned to come to Fatima to reveal to the three little shepherds the treasures of graces hidden in the recitation of the Rosary, inspire our hearts with a sincere love of this devotion, so that by meditating on the mysteries of our redemption that are recalled in it, we may gather the fruits and obtain the conversion of sinners, the conversion of Russia, and this favour that I so earnestly seek, (State your intentions here…) which I ask of you in this novena, for the greater glory of God, for your own honour, and for the good of all people. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be…
Our Lady of Fatima: Pray for us!

FOR PRUDENCE
O God, ruler of the universe, Thou didst allow St. Dymphna to discover a helpful means of avoiding the evil intentions of her father. Through the merits of Thy holy servant, be pleased to grant that we may become, according to the words of Jesus, simple as doves and wise as serpents, so that through prudent advice and sound judgment we may recognize what we must do to achieve the great work of our salvation, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be...
St. Dymphna: Pray for us!

3⃣ NOVENA FOR THE ASCENSION
DAY 8 - MAY 10
REFLECTION: Jesus spent forty days after his Resurrection appearing to his Apostles and other disciples. He instructed them in many things and gave them the opportunity to grow in friendship with him. He helped them to understand how they were to go about leading his Church through the coming years and how they were to bring more souls to him.
PRAYER: Jesus, please help us to always remain close to You, and we particularly ask You today to help all who do not know the joy of being Your followers! Help us to always do all we can to serve You worthily in our lives. Give us the grace to devote our entire lives to You. And I especially ask in this novena for,

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be…
Lord, hear our prayers! Amen.

4⃣ NOVENA TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
DAY 1 - MAY 10
CHARITY
Let us bow down in humility at the power and grandeur of the Holy Spirit. Let us worship the Holy Trinity and give glory today to the Paraclete, our Advocate.
Oh Holy Spirit, by thy power, Christ was raised from the dead to save us all. By thy grace, miracles are performed in Jesus' name. By thy love, we are protected from evil. And so, we ask with humility and a beggar's heart for thy gift of Charity within us.
The great charity of all the host of Saints is only made possible by thy power, Oh Divine Spirit. Increase in me, the virtue of charity that I may love as God loves with the selflessness of the Saints. Amen.
(State your intentions here...)
PRAYER: Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of thy faithful and kindle in them the fire of thy love. Send forth thy Spirit and they shall be created, and thou shall renew the face of the earth.
O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of thy faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise, and ever rejoice in His consolation, through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
