Novena to most Precious Blood of Jesus our Lord and Redeemer ( June 22 to June 30 )



Most Precious Blood of life eternal! price and ransom of the whole universe! drink and bath of the soul! ever pleading the cause of man before the throne of heavenly Mercy; I adore Thee most profoundly:
I would, if I were able, make Thee some compensation for the outrages and wrongs Thou dost ever suffer from men, and especially from those who in their rashness dare to blaspheme Thee.
Who will not bless this Blood of value infinite?
who does not feel himself inflamed with the love of Jesus, who shed it all for us?
What should I be but for this Blood, which hath redeemed me?
And who drew it out of the veins of my Lord, even unto the last drop?
It was Love. O immense Love, which gave to us this saving Balsam!
O Balsam beyond all price, streaming forth from the Fount of immeasurable Love!
Give to all hearts, all tongues, power to praise, celebrate, and thank Thee, now and ever, and throughout all eternity. Amen.

Redemisti nos, Domine, in Sanguine tuo / Then hast redeemed us, O Lord, with Thy Blood.
Et fecisti nos Deo nostro regnum/ And hast made us a kingdom to our God.

Oremus.
Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, qui Unigenitum Filium tuum mundi Redemptorem constituisti, ac ejus Sanguine placari voluisti: concede nobis, quaesumus, salutis nostrae pretium ita venerari, atque praesentis vitae malis ejus virtute defendi in terris, ut fructu perpetuo laetemur in coelis. Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate,Amen.

Let us pray.
Almighty and Everlasting God, who hast appointed Thine only-begotten Son the Savior of the world, and hast willed to be appeased with His Blood; grant us, we beseech Thee, so to venerate this most Precious Blood, the price of our salvation, and so to be defended by its power upon earth from the evils of this present life, that in Heaven we may enjoy its everlasting fruits. Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the Unity of God the Holy Ghost,  one God forever and ever. Amen.

Novena to Saints Peter and Paul ( June 20 - 28)



Holy Apostles, Saints Peter and Paul, I choose thee this day and forever to be my special patrons and advocates.
 Thou, O Blessed Saint Peter, Prince of the Apostles because thou art the Rock upon which Almighty God has built His Holy Church.
Thou, O Blessed Saint Paul, because thou were chosen by God as a vessel of election and preacher of truth to the whole world.

Obtain for me, I humbly pray thee, lively faith, firm hope and burning charity; complete detachment from myself, contempt of the world, patience in adversity, humility in prosperity, attention in prayer, purity of diligence in fulfilling the duties of my state in life, constancy in my resolutions, resignation to the Will of God and perseverance in the Grace of God even unto death so that by means of thy intercession and thy glorious merits I may overcome the devil and be made worthy of the promises of Christ, enjoy His presence and love Him forever with thee in time and eternity +Amen

Our Father..Hail Mary..Glory Be

Novena to our Lady of Perpetual Help ( June 18 - 26)


See at Thy feet, blessed and Holy Mother of Perpetual Help,
a poor sinner who has recourse to Thee
and confides in Thee.

O Mother of Mercy, have pity on me!
I hear Thee being called the refuge
and the hope of sinners;
be my refuge and my hope.

Help me, for the love of Jesus Christ;
stretch forth Thy hand to a poor fallen creature
who recommends himself (herself) to Thee,
and who devotes himself (herself) to Thy service forever.
I bless and thank Almighty God,
who in His mercy had given me this confidence in Thee,
which I hold to be a pledge of my eternal salvation.

Holy Mary, tender Mother, help me.
Mother of Perpetual Help,
never allow me to lose my God. Amen.

Our Father..Hail Mary..Glory Be ( three times)

Oh Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may ever invoke Thy most powerful Name, which is the safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying. O Purest Mary, O Sweetest Mary, let Thy Name henceforth be ever on my lips.

Delay not, O Blessed Lady, to help me whenever I call on Thee, for, in all my temptations, in all my needs, I shall never cease to call on Thee, ever repeating Thy sacred Name, Mary, Mary.

Oh what consolation, what sweetness, what confidence, what emotion fill my soul when I utter Thy sacred Name, or even only think of Thee. I thank God for having given Thee, for my good, so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a Name.

But I will not be content with merely uttering Thy Name; let my hope for Thee prompt me ever to hail Thee, Mother of Perpetual Help. Amen
