Novena to St. Rita O holy protectress of those who are in greatest need, O you who shine as a star of hope in the midst of darkness, blessed St. Rita, bright mirror of God’s grace, in patience and fortitude you are a model of all the states in life. I unite my will with the will of God through the merits of my Savior, Jesus Christ, and in particular through his patient wearing of the crown of thorns, which with tender devotion you daily contemplated. Through the merits of the holy Virgin Mary and your own graces and virtues, I ask you to obtain my earnest petition, provided it be for the greater glory of God and my own sanctification. Guide and purify my intention, O holy protectress and advocate, so that I may obtain pardon for all my sins and the grace to persevere daily, as you did in walking with courage, generosity and fidelity down the path of life. (Mention your request) Saint Rita, advocate of the impossible, pray for us. Saint Rita, advocate of the helpless, pray for us. ~ Say this novena nine times in a row for nine days in a row ~ |
Novena to St. Jude St. Jude, glorious Apostle, faithful
servant and friend of Jesus, you are forgotten by many. But the Church
honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases, of
things despaired of. Pray for us who am so miserable, make use, I
implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you to bring visible
and speedy help where we almost despair of help. Come to my assistance in
this great need that I may receive the consolation and succor of heaven in
all our necessities, tribulations and sufferings, particularly - (here make
your request) and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout
all eternity. |

Novena to the Sacred Heart May the most Sacred Heart of Jesus be adorned and loved, in all tabernacles, until the end of time. Amen. May the most Sacred Heart of Jesus be praised and glorified now and forever. Amen. St. Jude, pray for us and hear our prayers. Amen.
Blessed be the Scared Heart of Jesus. Say one Our Father and one Hail Mary |
Novena to St. Joseph O St. Joseph whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the Throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires. O St. Joseph do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, Our Lord; so that having engaged here below your Heavenly power I may offer my Thanksgiving and Homage to the most Loving of Fathers. O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press him in my name and kiss His fine Head for me, and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls, pray for us. Amen. |
Novena To Saint Martha St. Martha I resort to your protection and help. In my faith I offer this light which I burn each Tuesday. O kind and gentle Martha who had our Saviour as a guest in your home, take my petition to the foot of His Throne and intercede for me in my distress. Good and gentle Martha, I place my trust in you. (Say 3 Our Fathers, 3 Hail Marys, and 3 Glory Be's. For 9 consecutive Tuesday's.) ~Say this prayer and Light a candle and let it burn out - do not blow it out. This generous Saint promises to grant all petitions. You should promise to make a copy of this novena and leave it in church to spread devotion to this Saint. |
