Novena to
St. Martha
St. Martha, I resort to thy aid and protection. As proof of my affection and faith, I offer thee this light, which I shall burn every Tuesday.
Comfort me in all my difficulties and through the great favors thou didst enjoy when the Saviour was lodged in thy house, intercede for my family, that we be provided for in our necessities. I ask of thee, St. Martha, to overcome all difficulties as thou didst overcome the dragon which thou hadst at thy feet.

Prayer to Saint
Matthias the Apostle
O Glorious Saint Matthias,
in God’s design it fell upon you
to take the place of the unfortunate Judas who betrayed his Master. You were selected by the twofold sign of the uprightness of your life and the call of the Holy Spirit.
Obtain for us the grace to practice the same uprightness of life and to be called by that same Spirit to wholehearted service of the Church. Then after a life of zeal and good works let us be ushered into your company
in heaven to sing forever the praises of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Prayer to St. Maximilian Kolbe
O Lord Jesus Christ who said, “greater love than this no man has that a man lay down his life for his friends”, through the intercession of St. Maximilian Kolbe, whose life illustrated such love, we beseech You to grant us our petitions... (here mention the requests you have).
Through the Knights of the Immaculata movement, which Maximilian founded, he spread a fervent devotion to Our Lady throughout the world. He gave up his life for a total stranger and loved his persecutors, giving us an example of unselfish love for all men - a love which was inspired by true devotion to Mary.
Grant O Lord Jesus, that we too may give ourselves entirely without reserve to the love and service of our Heavenly Queen in order to better love and serve our fellowman in imitation of your humble servant, Maximilian. Amen.

And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
By the power of God, thrust into hell
Satan and all evil spirits Who wander through the world Seeking the ruin of souls. Amen

You, whose feast prepares us for Christmas, open my faith to the mystery of God made man.
You, good bishop and shepherd, help me to find my place in the Church and inspire the Church to be faithful to the gospel. O good Saint Nicholas, patron

Faithful Virgin and glorious Martyr, who workest so many miracles on behalf of the poor and the sorrowing, have pity on me. Thou knowest the multitude and diversity of my needs.

Prayer to Saint Pio of Pietrelcina
Beloved Padre Pio, Saint of Pietrelcina, today I come to add my prayer to the thousands of prayers offered to you everyday by those who love and venerate you. They ask for cures and healings, earthly and spiritual blessings, and for peace for body and mind. Because of your friendship with the Lord, He heals those you ask to be healed, and forgives those you forgive. Through your visible wounds of the Cross, which you bore for 50 years, you were chosen in our time to glorify the crucifed Jesus. Because the cross has been replaced by other symbols, please hel us to bring it back in our midst, for we acknowledge it is the only true sign of salvation. As we lovingly recall the wounds that pierced your hands, feet and side, we not only remember the blood you shed in pain, but your smile and the invisible halo of sweet smelling flowers that surrounded your presence, the perfume of sanctity. Padre Pio, the healings of the sick are the testimony that the Lord has invited you to join the holy company of saints. In your kindness, please help me with my own special request. (mention here your petition, and make the sign of the Cross)
Bless me and my loved ones. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Because you are the “medicine of God,” I humbly pray you to heal the many infirmities of my soul and the ills that afflict my body.
