INTRODUCTION

NOVENAS have long been a favorite form of prayer - doubtless because they are such an effective means of obtaining help in life's many needs. How many who have turned to prayer have found help in situations that would otherwise have been hopeless! The success of novenas may be due in large part to the persistence in carrying out for nine days in succession (or even longer). Our Lord's admnishes: "Ask and you shall receive; seek and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you!"
This collection of FAVORITE NOVENAS is designed to meet every need. The date of the saint's feast is given in each case, but novenas may be made at any time of the year.
The best novena, of course, is always linked with attendance of Holy Mass and the reception of Holy Communion and a good life. And just one word of caution: let your petitions be subject to the holy will of God, for only he knows whether the favor you ask for will ready be to your advantage. So leave the decision with him, and he will grant what is best for you.

Novena to Our Lady of Lourdes


Prayer
Be blessed, O most pure Virgin, for having vouchsafed to manifest your shining with life, sweetness and beauty, in the Grotto of Lourdes, saying to the child, St. Bernadette: "I am the Immaculate Conception." A thousand times we congratulate you upon your Immaculate Conception. And now, O ever Immaculate Virgin, Mother of mercy, Health of the sick, Refuge of sinners, Comforter of the afflicted, you know our wants, our troubles, our sufferings deign to cast upon us a look of mercy.

By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes, you were pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary, whence you dispense your favors, and already many have obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and physical. We come, therefore, with the most unbounded confidence to implore your maternal intercession. Obtain for us, O loving Mother, the granting of our request.
(state your request)
Through gratitude for your favors, we will endeavor to imitate your virtues, that we may one day share your glory.
Our Lady of Lourdes, Mother of Christ, you had influence with your divine son while upon earth. You have the same influence now in Heaven. Pray for us; obtain for us from your Divine Son our special requests if it be the Divine Will. Amen.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.

Saint Bernadette, pray for us.

Novena of Confidence to the Sacred Heart




O Lord Jesus Christ,
To your most Sacred Heart,
I confide this/these intention:

(mention your intention )

Only look upon me, And then do
What your Sacred Heart inspires.

Let your Sacred Heart decide
I count on it, I trust in it
I throw myself on Your mercy,
Lord Jesus!
You will not fail me.

Sacred Heart of Jesus,
I trust in You.
Sacred Heart of Jesus,
I believe in Your love for me.
Sacred Heart of Jesus,
Your Kingdom come.
O Sacred Heart of Jesus,
I have asked you for many favors,
But I earnestly implore this one.
Take it.

Place it in Your open, broken Heart;
And, when the Eternal Father looks upon It,
Covered with Your Precious Blood,
He will not refuse it.

It will be no longer my prayer,
But Yours, O Jesus.
O Sacred Heart of Jesus,
I place all my trust in You.

Let me not be disappointed.

Amen.
