O Jesus, through the
Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of
this day for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for my sins, for the
intentions of all my relatives and friends, and in particular for the intentions
of the Holy Father. Amen.
Good morning, dear Jesus,
this day is for you. We offer you all that we think, say, and do. Amen.
Saint Michael, the
Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and
snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do
thou, oh prince of the Heavenly host, cast into hell satan, and all the evil
spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that any one
who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was
left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of
virgins my Mother; to thee do I come, before thee I kneel, sinful and sorrowful;
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy
clemency hear and answer me.
Amen.
Lord Jesus
Christ, Son of the Father, send now Your Spirit over the earth. Let the
Holy Spirit live in the hearts of all nations, that they may be preserved
from degeneration, disaster and war. May the Lady of All Nations, who
once was Mary, be our Advocate. Amen.
Angel of God,
my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here, ever this day, be
at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.
PREPARATORY PRAYER
Almighty and Eternal God! With lively faith and
reverently worshiping Thy Divine Majesty, I prostrate myself before Thee
and invoke with filial trust Thy supreme bounty and mercy. Illumine the
darkness of my intellect with a ray of Thy heavenly light and inflame my
heart with the fire of Thy divine love, that I may contemplate the great
virtues and merits of the saint in whose honor I make this novena, and
following his example imitate, like him, the life of Thy divine Son.
Moreover, I beseech Thee to grant graciously, through the merits and
intercession of this powerful Helper, the petition which through him I
humbly place before Thee, devoutly saving, "Thy will be done on earth as
it is in heaven." Vouchsafe graciously to hear it, if it redounds to Thy
greater glory and to the salvation of my soul. Amen.
Prayer in honor of St. Blaise
O GOD, deliver us through the intercession of Thy holy
bishop and martyr Blase, from all evil of soul and body, especially from
all ills of the throat; and grant us the grace to make a good confession
in the confident hope of obtaining Thy pardon, and ever to praise with
worthy lips Thy most holy name. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Invocation of St. Blaise
St. BLASE, gracious benefactor of mankind and faithful
servant of God, who for the love of our Savior did suffer so many tortures
with patience and resignation; I invoke thy powerful intercession.
Preserve me from all evils of soul and body. Because of thy great merits
God endowed thee with the special grace to help those that suffer from
ills of the throat; relieve and preserve me from them, so that I may
always be able to fulfill my duties, and with the aid of God's grace
perform good works. I invoke thy help as special physician of souls, that
I may confess my sins sincerely in the holy sacrament of Penance and
obtain their forgiveness. I recommend to thy merciful intercession also
those who unfortunately concealed a sin in confession. Obtain for them the
grace to accuse themselves sincerely and contritely of the sin they
concealed, of the sacrilegious confessions and communions they made, and
of all the sins they committed since then, so that they may receive
pardon, the grace of God, and the remission of the eternal punishment.
Amen.

(patroness of addiction & disappointing children)
Blessed
Lord, Saint Monica was the mother of Saint Augustine and for many years prayed,
cried, and did penances for her son. As a result, he became a Doctor of the
Church and one of Her greatest theologians. She is the patron saint of
alcoholics and other addictions, and children who disappoint their parents, so I
ask her to pray for all those I know who are taking a long time finding a true
relationship with You, especially those trapped by addictions. I also ask her to
pray for all parents. Lord, give them signs of hope. And I offer up my
sufferings as penances on behalf of those who most need Your forgiveness.
Saint Monica,
pray for us. Amen.

Almighty and
Everlasting God, preserver of souls, who dost correct those whom Thou dost love,
and for their betterment dost tenderly chastise those whom Thou dost receive, we
call upon Thee, O Lord, to grant Thy healing, that the soul of Thy servant, at
the hour of its departure from the body, may by the hands of Thy holy Angels be
presented without spot unto Thee. Amen.

O eternal God and
Ruler of all creation, You have allowed me to reach this hour. Forgive the sins
I have committed this day by word, deed or thought. Purify me, O Lord, from
every spiritual and physical stain. Grant that I may rise from this sleep to
glorify You by my deeds throughout my entire lifetime, and that I be victorious
over every spiritual and physical enemy. Deliver me, O Lord, from all vain
thoughts and from evil desires, for yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the
glory, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and ever, and forever. Amen.

O my God, I firmly believe that you are one God in three divine Persons,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; I believe that your divine Son became man and died
for our sins, and that he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe
these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because you
revealed them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived.

Omnipotent and eternal
God, the everlasting Salvation of those who believe, hear us on behalf of Thy
sick servant, N., for whom we beg the aid of Thy pitying mercy, that, with his
bodily health restored, he may give thanks to Thee in Thy church. Through Christ
our Lord. Amen.

Holy Spirit, be with me
today. Be my teacher, my guide, my counselor, my friend. Fill me
with your
gifts, especially the gifts of wisdom, discernment, knowledge, understanding,
compassion,
love, and awe in God's presence. In all that I think, say, and do, let it
be in accordance
with your most holy and perfect will. I ask this in Jesus' name.
AMEN.

merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer.

In Loving Memory
Almighty God, through
the death of your Son on the cross, you have overcome death for us. Through his
burial and resurrection from the dead you have made the grave a holy place and
restored us to eternal life. We pray for those who died believing in Jesus and
are buried with him in the hope of rising again. God of the living and the dead,
may those who faithfully believed in you on earth praise you for ever in the joy
of heaven. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
