What is a Novena?
A novena is a traditional Catholic devotion of prayer lasting nine consecutive days. It is often prayed for a special intention, in preparation for a feast day, or in honor of a particular saint. Novenas are a way to grow in faith, trust God’s timing, and invite the powerful intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the saints.

MAY
St. Joseph the Worker Novena
Feast day: May 1
St. Joseph the Worker Novena – Day 1
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Heavenly Father, in the beginning You gave us the Garden with its fruit and commanded us to care for it. In doing so, You invited us into Your holy and creative work.
Your holy servant Joseph clearly reflected You by embracing the call to holy labor.
St. Joseph, Model of Workers, while humanity’s understanding of work suffered after the Fall, you were able to work as God intended—in union with Him.
At the workbench next to Christ, you brought human labor closer to the mystery of the Redemption.
Teach me how to make my daily responsibilities and tasks an offering to our Lord. Help my work—no matter how simple or mundane—reflect the marvelous gift of redemption I’ve been given through my baptism.
During the creation of the world, Our Father looked upon the work He had done and saw that it was good. Through your intercession and guidance, St. Joseph, I pray that God may look upon my work and find it just as pleasing.
I ask that you also pray for this intention close to my heart…
(Mention your petition here)
St. Joseph the Worker, pray for us!
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen!
St. Joseph the Worker Novena – Day 2
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Jesus, You redeemed the curse of Adam by working by the sweat of Your brow and devoting Yourself to the work of the Father alongside St. Joseph. Under the guidance and instruction of Your earthly father, You further developed Your humanity through work.
Give me the grace to follow the example of Your earthly Father so that through my work I may come to know You more fully.
St. Joseph, Model of Workers, remind me that my dignity is not found in how hard I work or in what I produce, but rather in my identity as a child of God. Help me ensure that my work upholds this identity rather than confuses it.
Teach me to navigate my daily work with wisdom. Let not my desire for meaningful work turn into greed or a lust for power, money, or status. Show me how to attend to each task with the diligence and love it deserves.
Allow my work to form me into a man/woman of the Lord and help me develop the virtues necessary to live a holy life.
Bring good fruit from my labors.
Pray also for the intention that I bring to you today…
(Mention your petition here)
St. Joseph the Worker, pray for us!

Jesus, son of Joseph, You entered the world through a human family—a family headed by a lowly carpenter whom You chose to work next to for years. You put Yourself under the care and tutelage of a man who modeled simple and sacrificial work for the good of all.
St. Joseph, you worked diligently to provide for the Blessed Mother and the Son of God in all of their needs. You showed us how we should work, not only for ourselves, but to serve others. Fill me with love for all peoples.
Show me, as you once showed Christ, how to lay down my life through my work so I can leave the world a better place than I found it. Help me obtain the means to provide for my family and for the Church through stable and life-giving work.
Pray that I may learn to love others more fully through my labors and pray also for the intention I now bring to you…

St. Joseph the Worker Novena – Day 4
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Heavenly Father, You gave Adam and Eve dominion over Your creation, not to control it but to work alongside it to better glorify You. From the fruit of the earth and the work of human hands, bread and wine can become the body and blood of Your Son Jesus.
Joseph, Model of Workers, you kept the commandment of our first parents—to work alongside creation to bring forth beauty.
From the wood of trees you fashioned furniture and tools that allowed others to fulfill the tasks to which God called them.
Through this work, you helped prepare Christ to lay down His life and embrace the wood of the cross.
Stir up gratitude in my heart for the marvelous gifts God has given us through His creation and teach me how to faithfully steward these gifts.
Reveal to me how I can cooperate with creation to bring beauty into the world—both at work or at home—and how I can best glorify God through each of my daily tasks.
Pray for all those who work with their hands, especially those who make our worship possible through their labors. Pray also for my special intention…

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Dearest Jesus, You tasked Your followers with the work of spreading the Good News, making disciples of all nations and bringing others into the Church. We, too, are commanded to partake in the holy work of winning souls for You.
Saint Joseph, Model of Workers, you brought your love for Christ to your work, allowing your faith to be the guiding force of your entire life, even your labor.
Today I offer you all of those in the workforce. Whether they work on site or remotely, help these laborers see themselves as servants of God and recognize their place of employment as an opportunity to evangelize.
Give all workers the courage to proclaim their faith through word and deed. Bring peace to any conflicts that might arise among those who work together. And help them shine the light of Christ your Son to everyone they encounter, until the culture is transformed for the better.
I also ask for your intercession for my special intention:

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Heavenly Father, You gave each one of us gifts and talents. Reveal to us the ways in which You want us to use these gifts to build up Your kingdom as Joseph did.
Saint Joseph, Model of Workers, you are no stranger to the anxieties caused by a lack of employment. You once faced the difficult task of providing for your family under extreme circumstances, particularly during the flight into Egypt.
You trusted the Lord to guide you where you needed to go and to bring good fruit from that challenging situation.
Today I bring to you all those in need of a job and ask for your intercession to provide for this need. I ask that you guide and assist them in their search for stable and meaningful employment and bring their search to a swift and joyful end.
Help them unite their suffering and anxiety caused by the lack of employment to the cross of your Son. Guard them against discouragement and bitterness of heart. Help them trust in the love and mercy of God as you did and remain steadfast and obedient to Him.
I also ask for your intercession in this particular need of mine:

St. Joseph the Worker Novena – Day 7
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Heavenly Father, You made man in Your image and likeness, and sending Your only Son to suffer and die for us emphasized the inherent dignity of each person. Your servant Joseph upheld this truth through his words and actions.
St. Joseph, Model of Workers, you were known as a just man. You exemplified the virtue of righteousness and modeled the ways in which we should act to be like God.
Today I ask for your prayers for those who face injustices, especially those who are denied a fair wage, safe conditions in which to work, freedom to organize, and opportunities for rest. Protect them from all harm and rejuvenate their spirit.
Open our eyes to the struggles of those exploited for their labor and open our hearts to their needs.
Embolden us to speak up on their behalf and demand that the dignity of these workers be recognized by those with the power to enact change.
I also ask you to pray for this special intention:

Amen.
Christ Jesus, You gave us a perfect example of servant leadership, as first modeled to You by Your earthly father Joseph. Pour out Your grace upon all people in positions of authority that they may learn from You how to lead well and serve others.
Saint Joseph, Model of Workers, today I offer you the leaders in the workplace—those responsible for workers—that they may also look to you as the model of Christlike leadership.
May their actions and decisions be informed by the dignity deserving of those under their care and help them recognize your Son in each person they lead.
Encourage all leaders to act with honesty, integrity, and justice in their business dealings. Teach them humility and help open their hearts and minds to the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. Help make their own heart like thine.
Please pray also for the special intention I hold in my heart…

St. Joseph the Worker Novena – Day 9
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Heavenly Father, Scripture tells us that on the seventh day of creation You rested, thereby setting the expectations for all of Your people. You gave us the Sabbath as a chance to step back from our work, to rejuvenate us, and to bring us into communion with You.
St. Joseph, Model of Workers, as a faithful man, you no doubt rested on the Sabbath in imitation of the Divine Worker. You kept God at the center of your life and especially your work.
Keep me from sacrificing myself totally on the altar of work; give me perspective and understanding that work was made for man, not man for work. Allow my work to flow from my worship of your Son and allow it to always lead me back to Him.
Teach me the meaning of holy rest, in which my soul remains active in pursuing goodness, truth, and beauty, so that I may be filled with the love of God.
Pray also for this intention:

O St. Anne, you are my spiritual grandmother. Please pray for me!
I come to you today asking that you pray for me to become more grateful.
Too many of my prayers to God are when I come to Him and ask Him for something.
Today, I ask you to help me remember to come back to Him — always, and to thank Him.
Even when He doesn’t answer my prayer in the way that I had hoped. Even when I don’t understand His plan. And even when I don’t feel very grateful.
I ask that you pray for me, St. Anne, to develop this practice of gratitude to our Lord, and that I may learn to thank Him in every circumstance and situation.

St. Monica Novena
Feast day: August 27
St. Monica Novena – Day 1
Reflection
St. Monica carried a heavy heart for many years. As a wife and mother, she faced rejection, sorrow, and long periods of unanswered prayer. But her faith did not waver. She prayed persistently, trusted deeply, and surrendered everything to God’s mercy. Her life reminds us that no soul is ever lost to God’s love.
Prayer
Dear St. Monica,
You knew the pain of watching loved ones walk away from God.
But you never gave up.
With tears and trust, you turned to the Lord again and again,
believing that His grace could reach even the hardest heart.
Please take my intention to God
with the same faith and persistence you showed in prayer:
(Mention your intention silently)
Through sorrow and struggle, you remained faithful.
Pray for me to grow in that same enduring trust—
to surrender every fear, every burden, and every hope
to the heart of Christ.
Help me to walk in holiness,
even when the path feels long and hidden.
Closing Prayer
O God, you are good and your mercy knows no end.
Increase my faith, strengthen my hope,
and fill my heart with your love.
Help me to serve you each day with joy and trust,
using all that you have given for your glory.
Amen.
St. Monica, pray for us.
St. Monica Novena – Day 2
Reflection
St. Monica’s strength came not from herself, but from her constant turning to God in prayer. She did not demand immediate answers, nor did she lose hope in delay. Her life invites us to enter into that same quiet trust—to believe that God is working even when we cannot see it.
Prayer
Dear St. Monica,
You trusted in God’s plan, even when it unfolded slowly and painfully.
You stayed close to Him in prayer,
believing that no prayer goes unheard.
I ask you to bring my intention before the Lord today:
(Mention your intention silently)
Help me to grow in patient faith,
to pray without giving up,
and to trust that God is at work in ways I may not yet understand.
Give me the courage to keep hoping and the strength to keep praying,
especially when answers seem far away.
Teach me to place everything into God’s hands,
just as you did.
Closing Prayer
Lord God, you are always faithful.
In times of waiting, give me peace.
In times of sorrow, give me strength.
May I seek you above all things,
and use each day to draw closer to your will.
Amen.
St. Monica, pray for us.
St. Monica Novena – Day 3

St. Monica’s faith was not passive. She lived her prayers through her actions—by remaining kind when misunderstood, faithful when ignored, and hopeful when others had given up. Her example teaches that perseverance is not only about waiting, but about loving well in the waiting.
Prayer
Dear St. Monica,
Your life was marked by quiet strength and gentle perseverance.
You remained steady in faith,
even when the world around you gave you every reason to let go.
Please present my prayer to God today:
(Mention your intention silently)
Ask Him to fill me with the grace to persevere in love,
especially when the journey feels slow or uncertain.

no small prayer,
and no hidden sacrifice is ever wasted in God’s hands.
Let my heart rest in His will,
and let my life be a witness of enduring hope.

Lord, you know the burdens I carry.
Teach me to remain faithful in prayer,
even when I grow tired or discouraged.

and strengthen my heart to trust your perfect timing.

St. Monica Novena – Day 4
Reflection
St. Monica’s love was patient, not controlling. She did not force change in her loved ones—she entrusted them to God. Her perseverance was shaped by humility, surrender, and the quiet confidence that God could work in hearts in His own way and time.
Prayer
Dear St. Monica,
You longed for the conversion of those you loved,
yet you did not try to force their hearts.
You prayed, trusted, and surrendered them to God’s care.
Help me to do the same today.
I offer this intention into your hands:
(Mention your intention silently)
Teach me to release control,
to surrender those I love into the heart of Christ.
Help me resist fear and anxiety,
and instead grow in peace and patience,
trusting that God knows their path far better than I do.
Let my prayers rise each day with love, not desperation,
and may they be joined to your own in faith.

Heavenly Father,
You see every heart and know every story.

to pray without ceasing,
and to rest in the knowledge that your grace is always at work.
Amen.

St. Monica Novena – Day 5
Reflection
St. Monica understood that real conversion is the work of God, not the result of pressure or persuasion. Her role was to pray, to love, and to remain faithful—even when nothing seemed to change. She teaches us that our prayers have power when they are rooted in trust and offered with humility.
Prayer
Dear St. Monica,
Your prayers were persistent but never forceful.
You loved deeply, but you let God be the one to move hearts.
You remind us that the most powerful prayers
are the ones that rise from surrender and trust.
Today, I entrust this intention to your care:
(Mention your intention silently)
Help me to let go of fear,
to stop grasping for control,
and to rest in the knowledge that God is always near.
Teach me how to be faithful in prayer,
even when I see no signs, no changes, and no answers yet.
Give me the grace to walk by faith, not by sight.
Closing Prayer
Lord, I believe in your goodness, even when I feel uncertain.
Strengthen my heart with your peace,
renew my hope daily,
and help me to persevere in love and prayer.
You are always working—help me never to forget that.
Amen.
St. Monica, pray for us.
St. Monica Novena – Day 6
Reflection
St. Monica’s strength came from prayer, but also from her deep relationship with God. She did not treat prayer as a last resort, but as a constant lifeline. Even when tears filled her days, her faith gave her peace. Her example reminds us that the fruit of prayer is not just in the outcome—but in the nearness of God we experience along the way.
Prayer
Dear St. Monica,
Your heart was broken many times,
but you never let go of the One who held you.
You turned to God in sorrow, in silence, and in tears—
and He strengthened you day by day.
Please pray for me as I offer this intention:
(Mention your intention silently)
Help me to stay close to God,
not only in my need but in my love.
When I feel discouraged, remind me that I am never alone.
When I grow weary, ask God to renew my strength.
Teach me to live with peace in my heart,
even as I wait in hope.

and help me find rest in your presence.

just as St. Monica was faithful.
Amen.
St. Monica, pray for us.
St. Monica Novena – Day 7
Reflection
St. Monica waited for years—not days, not weeks, but long, quiet years of faithful prayer. Her story reminds us that God’s timing is not our own, but it is always perfect. While waiting can be painful, it is never wasted when united with God. In the hidden places of silence and surrender, He is preparing something greater than we can imagine.
Prayer
Dear St. Monica,
You waited with patience and trusted with courage.
Even when nothing seemed to change,
you believed that God was still at work.
You did not let delay become despair.
Please pray for me today as I bring this intention before the Lord:
(Mention your intention silently)
Help me to wait with faith,
to surrender my timeline,
and to believe that God’s plans are better than my own.
When I grow restless or discouraged,
remind me that His grace is never late.
Teach me to wait well—
with peace, with hope, and with unwavering trust.
Closing Prayer
Lord, in the waiting, help me to grow.
In the silence, help me to listen.
May my heart remain steady in faith
and joyful in hope,
knowing that your love never fails.
Amen.
St. Monica, pray for us.
St. Monica Novena – Day 8
Reflection
St. Monica’s faith was rooted in love—not only for her family, but for God above all. Her prayers were not just requests; they were acts of love and trust. Her devotion teaches us that prayer is not about controlling outcomes but about surrendering everything into the hands of a loving Father.
Prayer
Dear St. Monica,
Your love was steadfast,
not because your life was easy,
but because your heart remained anchored in God.
You trusted His goodness even when the road was long
and the answers unclear.
Today I place this intention before the Lord,
asking you to pray with me and for me:
(Mention your intention silently)
Help me to pray with love,
not fear.
Help me to hope with confidence,
not anxiety.
Teach me to love those I pray for as you did—
gently, patiently, and without giving up.
May my prayers become acts of trust,
offered not just with my lips, but with my whole heart.
Closing Prayer
Loving Father,
You are always near, even when I feel far from you.
Teach me to pray with a heart rooted in love.
Purify my desires,
strengthen my hope,
and help me to become more like you in how I wait and how I love.
Amen.
St. Monica, pray for us.
St. Monica Novena – Day 9
Reflection
St. Monica’s prayers were finally answered—but not before years of struggle, tears, and patient hope. Her faith bore fruit in God’s perfect time. Her life is a witness that no prayer is wasted, and no soul is beyond the reach of grace. As this novena comes to a close, we are reminded to keep praying, keep loving, and never give up on the work God is doing—seen or unseen.
Prayer
Dear St. Monica,
You saw the fruit of your long years of prayer,
not because of your strength,
but because of your faith in God’s mercy.
You teach us to hold on—not with desperation,
but with peace.
Not with fear,
but with trust.
Today, on this final day of the novena,
I lift up this intention one more time:
(Mention your intention silently)
I entrust this prayer fully to the heart of God,
believing that He hears, He cares,
and He will act in His perfect time.
Help me to remain faithful,
even when I don’t see the outcome.
May I live in peace, knowing that grace is always at work.
Closing Prayer
God of mercy,
thank you for hearing every prayer of my heart.
Give me the grace to keep walking in faith,
to trust your plan,
and to pray always with love,
as St. Monica did.
Amen.
St. Monica, pray for us.

Opening Prayer:
(Pray each day before the daily intention)
O Jesus, who filled St. Faustina with profound veneration for Your boundless Mercy, grant me through her intercession and example the grace to grow in childlike trust in You and to show mercy toward others. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Daily Intention (Day 1):
Today, let us pray for the grace to trust Jesus in all circumstances, as St. Faustina did — even in suffering, darkness, and uncertainty. May her example inspire hearts weighed down by fear or doubt to place their confidence in Divine Mercy.
Prayer to St. Faustina:
St. Faustina, you trusted Jesus even when everything seemed lost and confusing. Teach us to trust as you did — with humility, surrender, and love. Intercede for us, that our hearts may be free from fear and full of peace, knowing that Jesus is with us in all things. Help us to say with you: “Jesus, I trust in You.”
Closing Prayer (from the Diary of St. Faustina):
“O My Jesus, I want to live in the present moment, to live as if this were the last day of my life. I want to use every moment scrupulously for the greater glory of God. I want to live with the purest of intentions and do everything out of love for You.” (Diary, 1183)
Jesus, I trust in You.
(Optional: Conclude with the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.)

Prayer to St. Faustina:
St. Faustina, you were the Apostle of Mercy, always ready to forgive, to console, and to intercede for souls. Teach us to live mercy in simple acts of kindness, in offering forgiveness freely, and in praying for those most in need of God’s love. Obtain for us the grace to be merciful, just as our Heavenly Father is merciful.
Closing Prayer (from the Diary of St. Faustina):
“Help me, O Lord, that my heart may be merciful… May Your mercy, O Lord, rest upon me.” (Diary, 163)

Prayer to St. Faustina:
St. Faustina, you found strength, peace, and consolation in the Eucharist. Your soul lived in adoration before the tabernacle, drawing grace for yourself and the whole world. Pray for us, that we may never take this great Gift for granted, and that we may hunger for Jesus in Holy Communion more deeply each day.
Closing Prayer (from the Diary of St. Faustina):
“O Living Host, my only strength, fountain of love and mercy, embrace the whole world and fortify faint souls.” (Diary, 223)

Prayer to St. Faustina:
St. Faustina, your life was marked by hidden suffering, yet you bore every trial with trust and surrender. You offered your pain for the salvation of souls and the conversion of sinners. Teach us to suffer with purpose, in union with Jesus, and to never waste a moment of pain.
May we learn, like you, that suffering borne with love becomes a powerful prayer.
Closing Prayer (from the Diary of St. Faustina):

Prayer to St. Faustina:
St. Faustina, you burned with love for souls and grieved deeply over those who did not know God’s mercy.

Pray for us, that our hearts may be moved to intercede for others and that we may never grow weary of praying for conversion.
Closing Prayer (from the Diary of St. Faustina):

Prayer to St. Faustina:
St. Faustina, you lived hidden in the convent, performing small tasks with great love. You did not seek attention or praise but desired only to please Jesus. Teach us to follow your example—to embrace the hidden life, to serve quietly, and to accept correction humbly. Help us see that humility is the foundation of holiness.

St. Faustina, you turned to Mary in times of struggle and joy, calling upon her protection and help. You trusted her guidance and imitated her virtues. Teach us to love Our Lady as you did, to seek her intercession with confidence, and to rely on her motherly care in every need.
Closing Prayer (from the Diary of St. Faustina):
“O sweet Mother of God, I model my life on You; You are for me the bright dawn; in You I lose myself enraptured.” (Diary, 1232)

Prayer to St. Faustina:
St. Faustina, your love for the Church was deep and sincere. You offered prayers and sacrifices for priests and religious, knowing the importance of their mission. Intercede for our priests, that they may be faithful, holy, and courageous. Pray that the Church may be united in truth and love, and be a beacon of mercy to the world.

Prayer to St. Faustina:
St. Faustina, you gave your life so the world would know the infinite mercy of God. Through your Diary and your witness, countless souls have come to trust in Jesus.

Please bring my petitions before God Whom you served!
You longed to devote yourself entirely to God and even consecrated your virginity to Him. You ultimately chose to give up your life for the Faith.
Pray for me, that I may live my life with as much devotion to God as you did. Pray that I may be eager to serve God in whatever ways He calls me to.
Please also pray for (mention your intentions here).

Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us St. Lucy as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the devotion to You she showed in choosing to consecrate her virginity to You.
St. Lucy, you decided to consecrate your virginity to God at a young age. Though your mother wanted you to marry and arranged a marriage for you, you continued to hold fast to your desire to serve God wholeheartedly.
Please bring my petitions before God Whom you served so wholeheartedly!
You were determined to keep your vow of virginity, so you prayed that your mother’s heart might be changed. God answered your prayers, and you were able to remain a virgin.
Pray for me, that I may always be eager to devote myself wholly to God. Pray that I may never waver in my desire to serve God.

But you wished instead to serve God as a consecrated virgin, and you did all you could to ensure you would be able to do this.
Please do all you can to bring my petitions before God!
You prayed that your mother’s heart might be changed, and God brought about a miracle of healing. You were able to remain a consecrated virgin for the rest of your life.
Pray for me, that I may serve God with as much devotion as you did. Pray that I may never allow obstacles to deter me from carrying out God’s will.

St. Lucy, your mother wanted you to marry and arranged a marriage for you. You wanted to remain a consecrated virgin, so you asked God to hear your prayers and to change your mother’s heart.
Please ask God to hear my prayers!
You prayed at the tomb of St. Agatha and asked her to intercede for you. She appeared to you in a dream and said that your mother would be healed. When your mother was healed as St.
Agatha foretold, your mother agreed to allow you to remain a consecrated virgin.
Pray for me, that I may turn to God with as much confidence as you did. Pray that I may grow in my faith and trust in God.

St. Lucy, your prayers helped change your mother’s heart on the matter of your consecrated virginity. But the bridegroom whom you rejected was very angry and inflicted revenge on you.

Divine Mercy Novena
Observance date: Good Friday → Divine Mercy Sunday
Divine Mercy Novena – Day 1
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
"Today bring to Me ALL MANKIND, ESPECIALLY ALL SINNERS, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. In this way you will console Me in the bitter grief into which the loss of souls plunges Me."
Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins but upon our trust which we place in Your infinite goodness.
Receive us all into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by Your love which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy for ever and ever.
Amen.
Divine Mercy Novena – Day 2
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
"Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me strength to endure My bitter Passion.
Through them as through channels My mercy flows out upon mankind."
Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service, that they may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company of chosen ones in Your vineyard--upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end.
Amen.
Divine Mercy Novena – Day 3
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
"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."
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 wondrous 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.
Divine Mercy Novena – Day 4
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
"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."
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.
Divine Mercy Novena – Day 5
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
"Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM MY CHURCH, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. During My bitter Passion they tore at My Body and Heart, that is, My Church. As they return to unity with the Church, My wounds heal and in this way they alleviate My Passion."
Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You.
Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Church.
Draw them by Your light into the unity of the Church, and do not let them escape from the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart; but bring it about that they, too, come to glorify the generosity of Your mercy.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Son's Church, who have squandered Your blessings and misused Your graces by obstinately persisting in their errors. Do not look upon their errors, but upon the love of Your own Son and upon His bitter Passion, which He underwent for their sake, since they, too, are enclosed in His Most Compassionate Heart. Bring it about that they also may glorify Your great mercy for endless ages.
Amen.
Divine Mercy Novena – Day 6
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
"Today bring to Me THE MEEK AND HUMBLE SOULS AND THE SOULS OF LITTLE CHILDREN, and immerse them in My mercy.
These souls most closely resemble My Heart. They strengthened Me during My bitter agony. I saw them as earthly Angels, who will keep vigil at My altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the humble soul is capable of receiving My grace. I favor humble souls with My confidence."
Most Merciful Jesus, You yourself have said, "Learn from Me for I am meek and humble of heart." Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart all meek and humble souls and the souls of little children. These souls send all heaven into ecstasy and they are the heavenly Father's favorites.
They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the throne of God;
God Himself takes delight in their fragrance. These souls have a permanent abode in Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, and they unceasingly sing out a hymn of love and mercy.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek souls, upon humble souls, and upon little children who are enfolded in the abode which is the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls bear the closest resemblance to Your Son.
Their fragrance rises from the earth and reaches Your very throne. Father of mercy and of all goodness, I beg You by the love You bear these souls and by the delight You take in them: Bless the whole world, that all souls together may sing out the praises of Your mercy for endless ages.
Amen.
Divine Mercy Novena – Day 7
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
"Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ESPECIALLY VENERATE AND GLORIFY MY MERCY, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls sorrowed most over my Passion and entered most deeply into My spirit. They are living images of My Compassionate Heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death."
Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your mercy.
These souls are mighty with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward, confident of Your mercy; and united to You, O Jesus, they carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of deeds of mercy, and their hearts, overflowing with joy, sing a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High! I beg You O God:
Show them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be accomplished in them the promise of Jesus, who said to them that during their life, but especially at the hour of death, the souls who will venerate this fathomless mercy of His, He, Himself, will defend as His glory.
Amen.
Divine Mercy Novena – Day 8
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
"Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ARE DETAINED IN PURGATORY, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice."
Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet, who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of Purgatory, that there, too, the power of Your mercy may be celebrated.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded: Manifest Your mercy to the souls who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way but only through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion.
Amen.
Divine Mercy Novena – Day 9
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
"Today bring to Me SOULS WHO HAVE BECOME LUKEWARM, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. These souls wound My Heart most painfully. My soul suffered the most dreadful loathing in the Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I cried out: 'Father, take this cup away from Me, if it be Your will.' For them, the last hope of salvation is to run to My mercy."
Most compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring lukewarm souls into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart. In this fire of Your pure love, let these tepid souls, who, like corpses, filled You with such deep loathing, be once again set aflame. O Most Compassionate Jesus, exercise the omnipotence of Your mercy and draw them into the very ardor of Your love, and bestow upon them the gift of holy love, for nothing is beyond Your power.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls who are nonetheless enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg You by the bitter Passion of Your Son and by His three-hour agony on the Cross: Let them, too, glorify the abyss of Your mercy.
Amen.

Infant Jesus, King of Heaven and Earth, may we not take your humanity, the Incarnation of God, for granted. Help us to have a deeper and more profound understanding of what you did for us by becoming one of us.
Amen.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
