4 Traditional Catholic Novena Prayers for Impossible Cases and Cases of Emergency
Unfailing Novena to St. Joseph
It is said that this prayer to St. Joseph has never been known to fail … so long as the request is for one’s spiritual benefit or the spiritual benefit of whom we are praying. Spiritually beneficial graces are the most powerful and important graces we could receive. When we are spiritually blessed, we are holistically blessed. Pray this novena for nine consecutive mornings.
O St. Joseph,
whose protection is so great, so strong,
so prompt before the Throne of God,
I place in you all my interest and desires.
O St. Joseph,
do assist me by your powerful intercession,
and obtain for me from your divine Son
all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ,
Our Lord. So that, having engaged here below
your heavenly power, I may offer my
thanksgiving and homage to the most loving
of Fathers.
O St. Joseph,
I never weary of contemplating you,
and Jesus asleep in your arms;
I dare not approach while He repose
near your heart.
Press Him close in my name and kiss His
fine heard for me and ask Him to return
the kiss when I draw my dying breath.
St. Joseph,
patron of departing souls,
pray for me. Amen.
Irresistible Novena to St. Therese
Make an act of faith in the presence of God. Tell Him you would like to speak to St. Therese. Imagine then the presence of St. Therese come forth to you; and from your heart, tell her your innermost intentions.
To begin, the Glory Be is prayed 24 times in honor of each year that St. Therese was alive:
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 – (x24).
The Memorare of St. Therese is prayed 9 times:
Remember, O most gracious St. Therese, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought thy intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, o Virgin St. Therese, my sister,
to you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O spouse of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me – (x9).
Pray this prayer for 9 consecutive days.
Powerful Novena to St. Jude
Say this prayer once a day for 9 days, especially beginning on the 19th of October and ending on the 27th of October – the eve of the Feast of St. Jude. When the Novena is completed, you must publicly thank St. Jude for his prayers for you. This was classically done by taking out a small ad in the classified section of newspapers, but nowadays a mention on social media would do well.
To Saint Jude,
Holy Saint Jude,
Apostle and Martyr,
great in virtue and rich in miracles,
near kinsman of Jesus Christ,
faithful intercessor of all who invoke
thy special patronage in time of need.
To thee I have recourse from the depths of
my heart, and humbly beg to whom God
has given such great power to come to
my assistance.
Help me in my present and urgent petition.
In return, I promise to make thy name known
and cause thee to be invoked.
St. Jude, pray for us and all who invoke thy aid.
Amen.
Now recite an Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be three times. Keep your promise to St. Jude and make his name known.
Miraculous Novena to St. Rita of Cascia
Say once a day for 9 days, especially beginning on the 13th of May and ending on the 21st of May, the eve of the feast of St. Rita.
O holy protectress of those who art in greatest need, thou who shineth as a star of hope in the midst of darkness, blessed Saint Rita, bright mirror of God’s grace, in patience and fortitude thou art a model of all the states i life. I unite my will with the will of God through the merits of my Savior Jesus Christ, and in particular through His patient wearing of the crown of thorns, which with tender devition thou didst daily contemplate. Through the merits of the Holy Virgin Mary and thine own graces and virtues, I ask thee to obtain the pardon of all my sins and the grace to persevere daily, as thou didst in walking with courage, generosity, and fidelity down the path of life.
(mentions your intentions here …)
Saint Rita, advocate of the impossible, pray for us, Saint Rita, advocate of the helpless, pray for us.
Now recite the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be three times.
St. Joseph, St. Therese, St. Jude and Saint Rita, pray for us!
