The “Novena to the Holy Name of Jesus” is a nine-day devotion honoring the sacred name of our Lord—first announced by the Angel Gabriel to Mary before His conception (Luke 1:31), then revealed to St. Joseph by an angel in a dream (Matthew 1:21), and formally bestowed at His circumcision (Luke 2:21).
This powerful novena emphasizes Jesus’s role as Savior, drawing on the profound significance of His name, which means “God saves.” Through meditation on Christ’s holy name, the novena invokes special graces and includes a petition to Mary, who first received this sacred name from the Angel Gabriel.
O Merciful Jesus, Who didst in Thy early infancy commence Thy office of Savior by shedding Thy Precious Blood, and assuming for us that Name which is above all names; we thank Thee for such early proofs of Thine infinite love.
We venerate Thy sacred Name, in union with the profound respect of the Angel who first announced it to the earth, and unite our affections to the sentiments of tender devotion which the adorable name of Jesus has in all ages enkindled in the hearts of Thy Saints.
Animated with a firm faith in Thy unerring word, and penetrated with confidence in Thy mercy, we now most humbly remind Thee of the promise Thou hast made, that where two or three should assemble in Thy Name, Thou Thyself wouldst be in the midst of them.-
Come, then, into the midst of us, most amiable Jesus, for it is in Thy sacred Name we are here assembled; come into our hearts, that we may be governed by Thy holy spirit; mercifully grant us, through that adorable Name, which is the joy of Heaven, the terror of Hell, the consolation of the afflicted, and the solid ground of our unlimited confidence, all the petitions we make in this novena.
[Mention your petitions here]
Oh! blessed Mother of our Redeemer! Who didst participate so sensibly in the sufferings of thy dear Son when He shed His Sacred Blood and assumed for us the Name of Jesus, obtain for us, through that adorable Name, the favors we petition in this novena.
Beg also, that the most ardent love may imprint on our hearts that sacred Name, that it may be always in our minds and frequently on our lips; that it may be our defense and our refuge in the temptations and trials of life, and our consolation and support in the hour of death. Amen.

The “Miraculous Medal Novena” is a cherished devotional practice that traces its origins to 1830 in Paris, France, through the mystical experiences of Saint Catherine Labouré. During a profound series of visions, the Virgin Mary appeared to St. Catherine, revealing the design for what would become known as the Miraculous Medal. Through this devotion, faithful Catholics seek Mary’s powerful intercession for various needs, whether spiritual, physical, or emotional.
V. Come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of Your love. R. Send forth Your Spirit, and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
O God, who did instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise and ever to rejoice in His consolation, through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
V. O Mary, conceived without sin, R. Pray for us who have recourse to you. (3 times)
O Lord Jesus Christ, who have vouchsafed to glorify by numberless miracles the Blessed Virgin Mary, Immaculate from the first moment of her conception, grant that all who devoutly implore her protection on earth, may eternally enjoy Your presence in heaven, who, with the Father and Holy Spirit, live and reign, God, forever and ever. Amen.
O Lord Jesus Christ, who for the accomplishment of Your greatest works, have chosen the weak things of the world, that no flesh may glory in Your sight; and who for a better and more widely diffused belief in the Immaculate Conception of Your Mother, have wished that the Miraculous Medal be manifested to St. Catherine Laboure, grant, we beseech You, that filled with like humility, we may glorify this mystery by word and work. Amen.
Memorare
Remember, O most compassionate Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your assistance, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, we fly unto you, O Virgin of Virgins, our Mother; to you we come; before you we kneel sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in your clemency hear and answer them. Amen.
Novena Prayer

[Mention the names of those you are praying for here]

Obtain for us also a spirit of prayer and self-denial that we may recover by penance what we have lost by sin and at length attain to that blessed abode where you are the Queen of angels and of men. Amen.

St. John Marie Baptist Vianney, you were born of a deeply religious mother; from her you received the Holy Faith. You learned to love God and to pray. At a young age, you were seen kneeling in the front of a statue of Mary.
Your soul was supernaturally carried toward the things on High. Despite the high cost, you answered your vocation.
Against many obstacles and contradictions, you had to fight and suffer to become the perfect priest, which you were; but your deep spirit of faith supported you in all these battles.
O Great Saint, you know the desire of my soul. I would like to serve God better. Obtain for me more courage and especially the depth of faith.
Many of my thoughts, words, and actions are useless for my sanctification and for my salvation, because this supernatural spirit does not stir up my life. Help me to be better in the future.

St. John Marie Baptist Vianney, because of your love of God, you showed great charity towards your neighbor. You could not preach on the Love of God without burning tears of love. It seemed as though you could not talk about anything else or live for anything else. Thus, you sacrificed yourself to your neighbor by consoling, absolving and sanctifying them to the limits of your strength.
Your charity inspires me to greater love of God, a love which is shown more by acts then by words. Help me to love my neighbor generously, as Christ loves them.

Bend towards me, listen to the repentant confidence for the weaknesses and miserable deeds of mine.

O Holy Priest of Ars, you knew how important was a good confession for the Christian life. It was to procure the happy fruits of millions of souls that you agreed to be in an uncomfortable confessional, which was like a prison, up to 15 to 16 hours on certain days.
I will try to develop the habit of frequent confession, to prepare properly each time, and to have always regret for my sins, so that the grace of final perseverance, and also the sanctification of my soul, will be assured. Ask this grace for me.

O Holy Priest of Ars, whose only comfort in this world was the real presence of Jesus in the tabernacle. Was it not your great joy to distribute the Eucharist to the pilgrims who visited you? You refused Communion to the souls who refused to reform; but to souls of goodwill, you opened wide the doors of the Eucharistic Feast.
You, who each day at Holy Mass received Holy Communion with great love, give me some of your fervor. With freedom from mortal sin, obtain for me a sincere desire to profit from receiving Holy Communion.

O Holy Priest of Ars, the infamous attacks of the devil which you had to suffer, and the trials which disheartened you by fatigue, would not make you give up the sublime task of converting souls. The devil came to you for many years to disturb your short rest; but you won because of mortification and prayers.
Powerful protector, you know the temptor’s desire to harm my baptized and believing soul. He would have me sin by rejecting the Holy Sacraments and the life of virtue. O good Saint of Ars, dispel from me the traces of the enemy.

O Holy Priest of Ars, a witness of your life made this magnificent praise of you: ‘We would have taken him for an angel in a mortal body.”
You so edified others: the modesty and the exquisite purity radiated from your body. With such charm and with such enthusiasm you preached to others about these beautiful virtues, which you said resembled the perfume of a vineyard in bloom.
Please, I beg you to join your entreaties to those of Mary Immaculate and Saint Philomena, in order that I guard always, as God asks me, the purity of my heart. You, who have directed so many souls towards the heights of virtue, defend me in temptations, and obtain for me the strength to conquer them.

I desire to follow you one day. Until then, I hear you saying to me: “You should work and fight as long as you are in the world.”
Teach me then to work for the salvation of my soul, to spread the good news and good example, and to do good towards those around me, in order that I will receive the happiness of the Elect with you.
