Novena to the Holy Face of Jesus

The Novena to the Holy Face of Jesus is a nine-day prayer devotion honoring the sacred countenance of Our Lord as it appeared during His Passion. This devotion originated through revelations given to Sister Marie of St. Peter (1816–1848), a Discalced Carmelite nun in Tours, France, who reported that Jesus desired reparation for blasphemy and the profanation of Sundays. Through this novena, the faithful contemplate Christ’s suffering with love, make reparation for sin, and seek pardon and mercy through the merits of His Passion.

O Most Holy and afflicted Virgin, Queen of Martyrs!
Who stood beneath the cross, witnessing the agony of your dying Son,
look down with a mother’s tenderness and pity on us,
as we kneel before you to venerate your Dolors
and place our requests, with filial confidence,

Through the merits of His most sacred Passion and Death,
together with your sufferings at the foot of the cross,
and through the united efficacy of both,
obtain the favor which we humbly ask.

To whom shall we go in our wants and miseries if not to you. O Mother of Mercy, who having so deeply drunk of the chalice of your Son, graciously alleviate the sufferings of those who still sigh in this land of exile. Amen.

Novena to Santo Niño

The “Novena to Santo Niño” honors the Holy Child Jesus, a beloved devotion that holds a special place in Catholic tradition, particularly in the Philippines and throughout Latin America, where it has inspired deep faith and countless miracles for over 500 years.

The most famous image of the Santo Niño is the Santo Niño de Cebú, a dark-skinned figure of the Child Jesus holding a globe and raising His hand in blessing. This statue was given by Ferdinand Magellan to Queen Juana of Cebu upon her baptism in 1521, making it the oldest Christian relic in the Philippines. Miraculously preserved through fire and war, the Santo Niño de Cebú remains enshrined in the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño in Cebu City.

The Feast of Santo Niño is celebrated on the third Sunday of January, drawing millions of devoted pilgrims to honor the Holy Child. Through this devotion, the faithful are reminded of Christ’s humility in becoming a child, His tender love for humanity, and His invitation to approach Him with childlike trust and simplicity.

The Santo Niño is venerated as a powerful intercessor for families, children, the sick, and all who seek the gentle mercy of Our Lord. Many faithful have experienced healings, protection, and answered prayers through devotion to the Holy Child.

Novena to Santo Niño

Novena Video

O Señor Santo Niño, You are our king and our God, we worship You. You are our strong defender, we turn to You. You are the patron of Cebu, the Philippines, and the world, we come to You.

You have made extraordinary wonders through Your miraculous image in those chosen islands, remember us. Look down at this poor soul that comes to You for help.

Lead us with Your wisdom; discipline us with Your truth; console us with Your tenderness, protect us with Your might.

We consecrate today our thoughts of You, only with You shall they be occupied; our words, only of You shall they speak; our sufferings, that we may endure them for Your sake.

We beg You Señor Santo Niño, illumine our understanding, kindle our will, cleanse our body, sanctify our soul. We wish what You wish, because You wish, as You wish, as long as You wish.

Grant us, Señor Santo Niño, that we may feel love toward You, be strict toward ourselves, be zealous toward our fellowmen, and rightly despise the things of the world. Help us to overcome sensuality with strict discipline, avariciousness with generosity, anger with gentleness, indolence with zealous industry. Make us wise in counsel, courageous in danger, patient in adversity, humble in prosperity.

Teach us, dear Santo Niño, how worthless is the world, how sublime is heaven, how brief is time, how long is eternity.

Grant us, lastly, that we may remember You, adore You, love You and serve You here on earth; that we may be happy with You forever and ever in heaven. Amen.

Novena to Our Lady of Hope

The “Novena to Our Lady of Hope” is a powerful nine-day prayer devotion that invites us to turn to the Blessed Virgin Mary in times of spiritual darkness, discouragement, and distress. This beautiful novena acknowledges our human weaknesses, sins, and fears while simultaneously calling upon Mary’s maternal intercession and her powerful advocacy before the throne of her Divine Son, Jesus Christ.

The title of Our Lady of Hope honors the Blessed Virgin Mary under a title associated with her 1871 apparition at Pontmain, France. As war threatened the region, Mary appeared in the night sky to several children, displaying the message: “But pray, my children. God will hear you in time. My Son allows Himself to be touched.” Within days, the war ended and the village was spared. This devotion reminds us that even in our darkest moments, Mary intercedes for her children, pointing us always toward her Son.

O Mary, my Mother, I kneel before you with heavy heart. The burden of my sins oppresses me. The knowledge of my weakness discourages me. I am beset by fears and temptations of every sort. Yet I am so attached to the things of this world that instead of longing for Heaven I am filled with dread at the thought of death.

O Mother of Mercy, have pity on me in my distress. You are all-powerful with your Divine Son. He can refuse no request of your Immaculate Heart. Show yourself a true Mother to me by being my advocate before His throne. O Refuge of Sinners and Hope of the Hopeless, to whom shall I turn if not you?

Obtain for me, then, O Mother of Hope, the grace of true sorrow for my sins, the gift of perfect resignation to God’s Holy Will, and the courage to take up my cross and follow Jesus. Beg of His Sacred Heart the special favor that I ask in this novena.

[Mention your petitions now]

But above all I pray, O dearest Mother, that through your most powerful intercession my heart may be filled with Holy Hope, so that in life’s darkest hour I may never fail to trust in God my Savior, but by walking in the way of His commandments I may merit to be united with Him, and with you in the eternal joys of Heaven. Amen.

Mary, our Hope, have pity on us.
Hope of the Hopeless, pray for us.

Day 4

Fourth Day – Meditation [Pray video for Day 4]
The pain that afflicts these Holy Souls most, the spouses of Jesus, is the thought of having, during life, by their sins, displeased God, Whom they so ardently love. Some penitents have felt so much pain and sorrow in thinking of their offenses, that they died of grief. The Souls in Purgatory understand far better than we do the claim that God has to our love; they love Him with all their strength. Hence, at the thought of having offended Him during life, they experience pain that surpasses all other pain.

Fourth Day – Prayer
O my God! because Thou art infinite goodness, I am sorry with my whole heart for having offended Thee. I would rather die than ever offend Thee again. Give me holy perseverance; have pity on me, and have pity on those Holy Souls that burn in the cleansing fire and who love Thee with all their hearts.

Sixth Day – Meditation [Prayer video for Day 6]
The Holy Souls are, indeed, comforted by the recollection of the Passion of Jesus Christ, and the Holy Sacrament of the Altar, since they know they are saved by the Passion of Jesus Christ, and have received, and still receive, so much consolation from Holy Masses and Holy Communions. Nevertheless, they are greatly pained by the recollection of their ingratitude for these two great gifts of the love of Jesus Christ.

Sixth Day – Prayer
O my Divine Redeemer, Thou didst die for me on the Cross and hast so often united Thyself with me in Holy Communion, and I have repaid Thee only with ingratitude. Now, however, I love Thee above all things, O supreme God; and I am more grieved at my offenses against Thee than at any other evil. I would rather die than offend Thee again. Grant me the grace of holy perseverance. Have compassion on me, and, at the same time, on the Holy Souls suffering in Purgatory.

O God, Father of Mercy, satisfy this, their ardent desire! Send them Thy holy Angel to announce to them that Thou, their Father, art now reconciled with them through the suffering and death of Jesus, and that the moment of their deliverance has arrived. O Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession.

Eighth Day – Meditation [Prayer video for Day 8]
Another bitter sorrow of these Souls is caused by their reflection that God had bestowed upon them so many graces not granted to others, and that they compelled Him, by their sins, to condemn them to these sufferings. they had deserved Hell, but were pardoned and saved only by the mercy of God.

Eighth Day – Prayer
O my God! I also am one of these ungrateful beings, having received so many graces, and yet despised Thy love; and deserve to be cast by Thee into Hell. But Thy infinite goodness has spared me until now. Therefore, I now love Thee above all things, and I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee. Grant me the grace of holy perseverance. Have compassion on me, and, at the same time, on the Holy Souls suffering in Purgatory. O Mary, Mother of God, come to their assistance with thy powerful intercession.

Great are all the sufferings of the Holy Souls in Purgatory: the fire, the grief, the darkness; the uncertainty of the time of their deliverance from prison. but the greatest of all these sorrows is this: that these Holy Souls are separated from their Divine Spouse, and deprived of His Beatific Vision.

I am deeply sorry for having offended Thee. Grant me the grace of holy perseverance, and do not permit that I should ever again fall into sin.

O great St. Philomena, glorious Virgin and Martyr, wonder-worker of our age, I return most fervent thanks to God for the miraculous gifts bestowed on thee, and beseech thee to impart to me a share in the graces and blessings of which thou hast been the channel to so many souls.

Through thy patience under multiplied sufferings, obtain for me a submissive acceptance of all the afflictions it may please God to send me and as thou didst miraculously escape unhurt from the waters of the Tiber, into which thou wert cast by order of thy persecutor, so may I pass through the waters of tribulation without detriment to my soul.

O great Saint, whose triumph we celebrate on earth, intercede for me, that I may one day behold the crown of glory bestowed on thee in Heaven, and eternally bless Him who so liberally rewards for all eternity the sufferings endured for His love during this short life. Amen.

The 54-Day Rosary Novena: When Doctors Gave Up, Mary Stepped In

When a young Italian woman lay dying in 1884, abandoned by the most celebrated physicians of her time, something extraordinary happened that would change Catholic devotional life forever. What began as a desperate family’s last resort became a powerful spiritual practice that has touched hundreds of thousands of lives across nearly 150 years.

listen as you read

Nearly two months of prayer. Fifty-four consecutive days of turning to the Rosary with unwavering dedication. To many, this might seem daunting, even impossible in our fast-paced world. Yet for over 140 years, Catholics worldwide have discovered something extraordinary happens when they commit to this intensive devotion to Our Lady of Pompeii.

The Miraculous Origins

The 54-Day Rosary Novena traces its origins to a powerful apparition of Our Lady of Pompeii to a young Italian woman named Fortuna Agrelli in 1884. For thirteen months, Fortuna had endured dreadful sufferings from an incurable illness. The most celebrated physicians had given up hope, declaring her case hopeless.

On February 16, 1884, the afflicted girl and her family began a novena of Rosaries, desperately seeking Our Lady’s intercession. Their faithful prayers were answered in the most extraordinary way when the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Fortuna on March 3, 1884.

In this miraculous apparition, Mary sat upon a high throne, profusely decorated with flowers, holding the Divine Child on her lap and a Rosary in her hand. Both the Virgin Mother and the holy Infant were clothed in gold-embroidered garments. They were accompanied by St. Dominic and St. Catherine of Siena, and the beauty of Our Lady was described as marvelous beyond words.

When Fortuna called upon Mary as “Queen of the Holy Rosary,” Our Lady responded with words that would echo through the centuries: “Child, thou has invoked me by various titles and hast always obtained favors from me. Now, since thou hast called me by that title so pleasing to me, ‘Queen of the Holy Rosary,’ I can no longer refuse the favor thou dost petition; for this name is most precious and dear to me.”

Our Lady then instructed Fortuna to make three novenas in petition. Later, the Queen of the Holy Rosary appeared again and revealed the complete structure of this powerful devotion: “Whoever desires to obtain favors from me should make three novenas of the prayers of the Rosary, and three novenas in thanksgiving.”

Obedient to Our Lady’s instruction, Fortuna and her family completed the six novenas, and the young girl was restored to perfect health, her family showered with many blessings.

Extraordinary Graces and Testimonies

Throughout the decades since its revelation, countless testimonies have emerged from those who have completed the 54-Day Rosary Novena. These accounts speak not only of answered prayers and material favors but, more importantly, of profound spiritual growth, increased faith, and deeper peace.

Many report that the most significant grace received was not the original intention they prayed for, but rather a transformation of heart, a deeper relationship with God, or the grace to accept His will with peace and joy. Others have experienced remarkable healings, both physical and spiritual, resolution of family difficulties, vocational clarity, and financial provisions.

The devotion has become particularly known for impossible cases or situations that appear hopeless, with Our Lady of Pompeii often invoked as the “Madonna of Impossible Cases” due to the remarkable interventions attributed to this novena.

Preparing for the Journey

Embarking on a 54-Day Rosary Novena requires genuine commitment and preparation. This is not a casual prayer practice but a serious spiritual undertaking that demands consistency and dedication.

Before beginning, it’s essential to clearly formulate your intention. This should be something significant that you genuinely desire God’s intervention upon, whether it concerns health, family, vocation, spiritual growth, or any other legitimate need.

It’s also important to approach the devotion with the right mindset. While we pray with confidence in God’s power and Mary’s intercession, we must also be prepared to accept whatever outcome God provides, trusting that His answer—whether yes, no, or wait—is always given in love.

Keeping a prayer journal during the 54 days can be particularly beneficial. Recording thoughts, insights, and any signs of God’s action can provide encouragement during difficult days and serve as a testimony to God’s faithfulness upon completion.

A Testament to Faith

For those feeling called to undertake this profound spiritual journey, the 54-Day Rosary Novena offers an opportunity for deep growth in faith, hope, and love. Like Fortuna Agrelli in 1884, we too can experience the extraordinary graces that Our Lady of Pompeii promised to all who complete this devotion with sincere hearts.

Whether you approach this novena seeking healing, guidance, provision, or simply a deeper relationship with God, you can be confident that Mary will present your prayers to her Divine Son under her beloved title of Queen of the Holy Rosary, and that God will respond according to His perfect love and wisdom.

May Our Lady of Pompeii, Queen of the Holy Rosary, guide you on this transformative journey of faith and shower you with the abundant graces she has promised to all who persevere in this beautiful devotion. God bless.

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Jesus, Crucified, have mercy on me.
