Classic and Popular Novenas
Favorite novenas for all time
To the Holy Spirit
O Holy Spirit, Third Person of the Blessed Trinity! Spirit of Truth, Love
and Holiness, proceeding from the Father and the Son, and equal to Them
in all things! I adore Thee and love Thee with all my heart. Teach me to
know and to seek God, by whom and for whom I was created. Fill my heart
with holy fear and love of God. Grant me compunction and patience, and
suffer me not to fall into sin. Give me an increase of Faith, Hope and
Charity, and bring forth in my soul all the virtues proper to my state
of life. Give me the four Cardinal Virtues, Thy seven Gifts and Thy
twelve Fruits. Make me a faithful follower of Jesus and an obedient child
of the Church. Give me the grace to keep the Commandments and to receive
the Sacraments worthily. Raise me to perfection in the state of life
to which Thou hast called me, and lead me through a happy death, to
everlasting life. Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Grant me also, O
Holy Spirit, Thou who art the giver of all good gifts, the special
favour for which I ask (name it), if it be for Thy greater
honor and glory and the good of my soul.
Glory be to the Father (3 times)
Novena of Confidence to the Sacred Heart
O Lord Jesus Christ, to Thy Most Sacred Heart, I confide this intention
(here mention your request). Only look upon me, then do what Thy
Sacred Heart inspires. Let Thy Sacred Heart decide...I count on It...
I trust in It...I throw myself on Its mercy. Sacred Heart of Jesus,
I trust in Thee. Sacred Heart of Jesus, I believe in Thy love for me.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, Thy kingdom come. O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I
have asked Thee for many favors, but I earnestly implore this one.
Take it, place it in Thy open, broken Heart; and when the Eternal
Father looks upon it, covered with Thy Precious Blood, He will not
refuse it. It will be no longer my prayer, but Thine, O Jesus, O
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in Thee. Let me not be
disappointed. Amen.
Novena in Urgent Need to the Infant Jesus of Prague
To be said at the same time for nine consecutive hours or for nine days
O Jesus, who hast said, "Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find,
knock and it shall be opened to you," through the intercession of Mary, Thy
most holy Mother, I knock, I seek, I ask that my prayer be granted.
Mention your request
O Jesus, who hast said, "All that you ask of the Father in My Name, He will
grant you," through the intercession of Mary, Thy most holy Mother, I humbly
and urgently ask Thy Father in Thy Name that my prayer be granted.
Mention your request
O Jesus, who hast said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My word
shall not pass," through the intercession of Mary, Thy most holy Mother,
I feel confident that my prayer will be granted.
Mention your request
To Our Lady of Perpetual Help
O Mother of Perpetual Help! grant that I may ever invoke your most
powerful name, which is the safeguard of the living and the salvation
of the dying. O purest Mary! O sweetest Mary! let your name henceforth
be ever on my lips. Delay not, O Blessed Lady, to succour me whenever I
call on you. In all my temptations, in all my needs, I will never cease
to call on you ever repeating your sacred name. Mary, Mary. Oh, what a
consolation, what sweetness, what confidence, what emotion fills my
soul when I utter your sacred name, or even only think of you! I thank
the Lord for having given you, for my good, so sweet, so powerful, so
lovely a name. But I will not be content with merely uttering your
name. Let my love for you prompt me ever to hail you Mother of
Perpetual Help. Mother of Perpetual Help, pray for me and grant me
the favour I confidently ask of you. Hail Mary (3 times)
To Our Lady of Lourdes
O Ever Immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy, Health of the Sick, Refuge
of Sinners, Comfortress of the Afflicted, you know my wants, my troubles,
my sufferings; deign to cast upon me a look of mercy. By appearing in
the grotto of Lourdes you were pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary
whence you dispense your favours, and where many sufferers have obtained
the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal. I come,
therefore, with unbounded confidence to implore your maternal intercession.
Obtain O loving Mother, the grant of my request. I will endeavour to
imitate your virtues, that I may one day share your glory and bless you
in eternity. Amen.
Prayer to One's Patron or to Any Saint
O Glorious Saint N. (my beloved Patron), you served God
in humility and confidence on earth and are now in the enjoyment of His
beatific Vision in heaven because you persevered till death and gained
the crown of eternal life. Remember now the dangers that surround me in
the vale of tears, and intercede for me in my needs and troubles
(especially...)
To St. Anthony of Padua, the Wonder Worker
In Any Need
St. Anthony, glorious for your miracles and for the condescension of Jesus
in coming as a little child to repose in your arms, obtain for me from His
bounty the grace which I ardently desire. You who were so compassionate
towards sinners, regard not my unworthiness, but the glory of God, that it
may be magnified by you in connection with the particular request which I
now earnestly present to you. (Name it). As a pledge of my
gratitude, I beg you to accept my promise to live more faithfully in
accordance with the teachings of the Church, and to be devoted to the
service of the poor whom you ever loved and still love so greatly. Bless
this my resolution, that I may be faithful to it even until death. St.
Anthony, consoler of all the afflicted, pray for me. St. Anthony, helper
of all who invoke you, pray for me. St. Anthony, whom the Infant Jesus
so much loved and honoured, pray for me.
To Find A Lost Article
St. Anthony, perfect imitator of Jesus, who received from God the special
power of restoring lost things, grant that I may find...which has
been lost, if such be the will of God; or at least restore to me peace
and tranquillity of mind, the loss of which has afflicted me even more
than my material loss. To this favour I beg you to add another; that I
may always remain in possession of the true good that is God. May I
rather lose all things than to lose God, my supreme Good, or suffer
the loss of my greatest treasure, my immortal soul.
To St. Gerard
For An Expectant Mother
Great St. Gerard, beloved servant of Jesus Christ, perfect imitator of our
meek and humble Savior, and devoted child of the Mother of God, enkindle
within my heart one spark of that heavenly fire of charity which glowed
in yours and made you a seraph of love. O glorious St. Gerard, because
like your Divine Master, you bore without murmur or complaint the calumnies
of wicked men when falsely accused of crime, you have been raised up by
God as the patron and protector of expectant mothers. Preserve me in the
dangers of motherhood and shield the child I now bear, that it may be
brought safely to the light of day and receive the sacrament of baptism.
Hail Mary (3 times)
To St. Peregrine, The "Cancer Saint"
Glorious Wonder-Worker, St. Peregrine, you answered the divine call with
a ready spirit, and forsook all the comforts of the world to dedicate
yourself to God in the Order of His most Holy Mother. You laboured manfully
for the salvation of souls; and in union with Jesus Crucified you endured
the most painful sufferings with such patience as to deserve to be healed
miraculously of an incurable cancer in your leg by a touch of His divine
hand. Obtain for me the grace to answer every call of God and to fulfill
His will in all the events of life. Enkindle in my heart a consuming zeal
for the salvation of souls; deliver me from the infirmities that afflict
my body (especially...). Obtain for me also perfect resignation
to the sufferings it may please God to send me, so that, imitating our
Crucified Savior and His Sorrowful Mother, I may merit eternal glory
in heaven. Amen.
