Walk with us, St. Josephine Bakhita, at times when we feel unable to forgive others. Help us find our way through the pain we've experienced. Help us open ourselves to transformation. Free us from that which can enslave us. Walk with us into a new place of joy.

2⃣ NOVENA TO INFANT JESUS OF PRAGUE
DAY 5 - FEBRUARY 4
I gaze upon You, O Most Sweet Redeemer, dressed in a mantle of purple. It is Your royal attire. How it speaks to me of blood! That Blood which You have shed solely on my account. Grant, O Child Jesus that I may respond to Your great sacrifice and not refuse, when You offer me some difficulty, to suffer with You and for You.
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.
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.

3⃣ NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF LOURDES
DAY 3 - FEBRUARY 4
"You are all fair, O Mary, and there is in you no stain of original sin." O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. O brilliant star of sanctity, as on that lovely day, upon a rough rock in Lourdes, you spoke to the child Bernadette and a fountain broke from the plain earth and miracles happened and the great shrine of Lourdes began. So now I beseech you to hear our fervent prayer and do, we beseech you, grant us the petition we now so earnestly seek.
(State your intentions here…)
PRAYER
O Brilliant star of purity, Mary Immaculate, Our Lady of Lourdes, glorious in your assumption, triumphant in your coronation, show unto us the mercy of the Mother of God, Virgin Mary, Queen and Mother, be our comfort, hope, strength and consolation. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
Saint Bernadette, pray for us.
