Novena to St Anthony of Padua

.
O white lily of purity, sublime example of poverty, true mirror of humility, resplendent star of sanctity. O glorious St Anthony, who enjoyed the sweet privilege of receiving into your arms the Infant Jesus, I beseech you to take me under your powerful protection. May you, in whom you the power of working miracles shines forth among the other gifts of God, have pity upon me and come to my aid in this my great need.

(Mention your intentions here). 

Cleanse my heart from every disorderly affection, obtain for me a true contrition for my sins and a great love of God and of my neighbour, that serving God faithfully in this life, I may come to praise, enjoy and bless Him eternally with you in Paradise. Amen 

Recite one Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.

Some pray a Novena to St. Anthony on thirteen consecutive Tuesdays, in accordance with the instructions of Pope Leo XIII, or on all Tuesdays.

Novena to St Jude

.
Holy Saint Jude, Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles, near kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage in time of need. I have recourse to you from the depths of my heart and humbly beg you, to whom God has given such great power, to come to my assistance. Help me in my present and urgent petition. In return I promise to make your name known and cause you to be invoked. Saint Jude pray for us and all who invoke your aid. Amen. 

Say an Our Father, Hail Mary, and a Glory Be. 

Keep your promise to St. Jude and make his name known publicly after receiving the favour for which you prayed..

Novena to Saint Joseph

.

O glorious descendant of the kings of Judah, inheritor of the virtues of all the patriarchs, just and happy St. Joseph, listen to my prayer. You are my glorious protector and shall ever be, after Jesus and Mary, the object of my most profound veneration and confidence. You are the most hidden Saint, and are particularly the patron of those who serve God with the greatest purity and fervour. In union with all those who have ever been most devoted to you I now dedicate myself to your service, beseeching you, for the sake of Jesus Christ, who vouchsafed to love and obey you as a son, to become a father to me, and to obtain for me the filial respect, confidence and love of a child towards you. 

O powerful advocate of all Christians, whose intercession, as St. Theresa assures us, has never been found to fail, deign to intercede for me now, and to implore for me the particular intention of this Novena. 

(Mention your intentions here)

Say one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be. 

Present me, O great Saint, to the adorable Trinity, with Whom you had so glorious and so intimate a correspondence. Obtain that I may never efface by sin the Sacred Image, according to the likeness of which I was created. Beg for me that my divine Redeemer would enkindle in my heart and in all hearts, the fire of His Love, and infuse therein the virtues of His adorable infancy: his purity, simplicity, obedience, and humility. 

Obtain for me likewise a lively devotion to your virgin spouse, and protect me so powerfully in life and death, that I may have the happiness of dying as you did, in the friendship of my Creator, and under the immediate protection of the Mother of God. Amen.

Novena to Saint Dymphna

.

Lord God, who has graciously chosen Saint Dymphna to be the patroness of those afflicted with mental and nervous disorders, and has caused her to be an inspiration and a symbol of charity to the thousands who invoke her intercession, grant through the prayers of this pure, youthful martyr, relief and consolation to all who suffer from these disturbances, and especially to those for whom we now pray. 

(Here mention those for whom you wish to pray.) 

We beg You to accept and grant the prayers of Saint Dymphna on our behalf. Grant to those we have particularly recommended patience in their sufferings and resignation to Your Divine Will. Fill them with hope and, if it is according to Your Divine Plan, bestow upon them the cure they so earnestly desire. Grant this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
