A POTENT NOVENA IN TIME OF DISTRESS TO THE DIVINE INFANT OF PRAGUE




The following prayers are to be recited every hour for 9 consecutive hours in one day:
 
O Divine Infant of Prague, dearest Jesus, You Who so lovingly said: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you," have mercy on me now, and through the intercession of our most holy Mother, I humbly ask You to grant me the grace I need.

(Name your petition.)

O Divine Infant of Prague, dearest Jesus, You Who so compassionately taught: "If you believe, all things are possible to him who believes," have pity on me now, I do believe; help me. Increase my weak faith and through the Blessed Mother’s intercession, I humbly ask You to answer my request.

(Name your petition.)

O Divine Infant of Prague, dearest Jesus, You Who once benignly said to the apostles: "If you have faith even like a mustard seed, You will say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea,’ And it will obey you,” hear my suppliant prayer, I humbly beseech You, and through the intercession of Mary most holy, I feel certain that my prayer will be answered.

(Name your petition.)

Because this novena is prayed for those in distress or in grave emergencies, it should be completed in one day. Pray the novena nine times during the day, at the same time every hour, for nine consecutive hours.

SAINT MICHAEL NOVENA

The Saint Michael Novena is prayed for nine consecutive days.


Saint Michael the Archangel, loyal champion of God and His Catholic people, I turn to thee with confidence and seek thy powerful intercession.

For the love of God, Who hast made thee so glorious in grace and power, and for the love of the Mother of Jesus, the Queen of the Angels, be pleased to hear my prayer.

You know the value of my soul in the eyes of God.

May no stain of evil ever disfigure its beauty.

Help me to conquer the evil spirit who tempts me.

I desire to imitate thy loyalty to God and Holy Mother Church and thy great love for God and men. And since thou art God s messenger for the care of His people, I entrust to thee this special request:

(Here mention your request.)

Saint Michael, since thou art, by the will of the Creator, the powerful intercessor of Christians, I have great confidence in thy prayers.

I earnestly trust that if it is God's holy will, my petition will be granted.

Pray for me, Saint Michael, and also for those I love.

Protect us in all dangers of body and soul.

Help us in our daily needs.

Through thy powerful intercession, may we live a holy life, die a happy death and reach Heaven where we may praise and love God with thee forever.

Amen.
