Great novena to Saint Joseph 2026!

Glorious St. Joseph, Spouse of Mary, 
grant us, we beseech thee, thy paternal protection,
we beseech thee by the Heart of Jesus Christ. 
O thou, whose power extends to all of our needs, 
and can render possible for us the most impossible things, 
look with favor upon the concerns of thy children with fatherly countenance.
In the troubles and distress which afflict us, 
we confidently have recourse to thee. 
Deign to take under thy charitable charge this important and difficult matter,
cause of our worries, 
may its happy outcome be for God's glory and for the good of His devoted servants.
Amen. 


Hello and welcome to our community! Also known as the “Walk of the Incarnation,” this is a 9-month Novena where we journey with Our Lady throughout her entire pregnancy from the Feast of the Annunciation to Christmas Day. 3/25-12/25 This novena offers a unique opportunity to petition Mary with 3 of your most “impossible” requests. You will bring these same prayers to Our Lady every day for 9 months straight. These prayers will be included in each daily post so that you may find them easily. With faith and perseverance, we trust that Our Lady lovingly presents our intentions to her SonWe have divided this novena into 9 separate but cohesive parts. Each month of Mary&#039;s pregnancy is represented by one of her virtues, and a short quote/reflection will be shared daily along with the novena prayers. While the prayers remain the same each day, the short reflections/meditations change as we move from month to month. These are not a required part of the novena, but rather they are meant to serve as supplemental meditations. We invite you to read more about this novena on our website and pray along with us if you feel called! All are welcome to join at any time. For more information, please visit <a href="https://www.impossiblenovena.com/">www.impossiblenovena.com </a>“Who can worthily thank thee and adequately praise thee, O Blessed Virgin, who by thy Fiat hast saved a lost world!” - St. Augustine

Impossible Novena 2026

For each of your 3 intentions, you'll meditate and ask for the desired grace by praying "The Hail Holy Queen" followed by the "Prayer of Petition"

HAIL HOLY QUEEN x3: Hail Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve, to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Oh clement, oh loving, oh sweet Virgin Mary, Pray for us, oh holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.

PRAYER OF PETITION x3 : Virgin of the Incarnation, a thousand times we greet thee, a thousand times we praise thee for thy joy when God was incarnated in thee. Because thou art so powerful a Virgin and Mother of God, grant what we ask of thee for the love of God

MEMORARE x1: Remember, oh most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence I fly unto thee, oh Virgin of Virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. Oh, Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.

PRAY x3: Blessed and praised be the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar in Heaven, on Earth, and Everywhere. Amen.

HAIL MARY x1: 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. (Please offer this Hail Mary for the intentions of our Impossible Novena Community)

TO THE MOST BLESSED SACRAMENT (x1)
Thank you, thank you Lord for all the good that I receive from you every day.
Thank you because you pour into my soul the infinite sweetness of your mercy.
Thank you because you let me feel your forgiveness for my multiple faults.
Thank you because with it you show me that you never abandon me.
Thank you for all the joys you offer me.
Thank you for the sorrows you send me.
Thank you too, oh Lord because you preserve for my soul hope and faith.
Amen.

Meet Your Soulmate with the Novena to St. Valentine

Loving Father,
You know that the deepest desire of my heart is
to meet someone that I can share my life with.
I trust in Your loving plan for me and ask that I may soon meet
the person that you have prepared for me.
Through the power of Your Holy Spirit,
open my heart and mind so that I recognize my soulmate.
Remove any obstacles that are in the way of this happy encounter,
So that I might find a new sense of wholeness, joy and peace.
Give me the grace too, to know and accept, if you have another plan for my life.
I surrender my past, present and future into the tender heart of Your Son, Jesus,
full of confidence that You will hear and answer my prayer.
AMEN.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You.
St Valentine, pray for me.

Each year we pray a Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus for the 9 days preceding the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart.Day four will be a bit different, and we will focus on the Heart of Jesus truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, as it is the great Feast of Corpus Christi, the Body and Blood of Our Lord.Let us be confident that the Power of the Heart of Jesus can transform our hearts of stone, wounded by original sin and by our personal sins, into hearts of purity, meekness and mercy!<h2>Let us be faithful in keeping our daily novena date with Him!</h2>&#34;If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink! He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, ‘From his innermost being will flow continually rivers of living water.” - John: 7:37-38

Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

I (N.), give and consecrate to the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ, my person, my life, my actions, my pains and sufferings, so that I may be unwilling to make use of any part of my being save to honor, love, and glorify the Sacred Heart. It is my unchanging intention to be all His and to do all for love of Him. I renounce at the same time with all my heart whatever can displease Him.

I, therefore, take You, O Sacred Heart, for the only object of my love, the protector of my life, the pledge of my salvation, the remedy of my weakness and inconstancy, the atonement for the faults of my life, and the secure refuge at the hour of my death.

Be then, O Heart of goodness, my justification before God the Father, and turn away from me the punishment of His just anger. O Heart of love, I put my confidence in You, because I fear everything from my own sinfulness and weakness. I hope for all things from Your mercy and generosity.
Destroy in me all that can displease or resist Your holy Will. Let Your pure love impress You so deeply upon my heart that I may never forget You or be separated from You. May my name, by your loving kindness, be written In You, because in You I desire to place all my happiness and all my glory in living and dying in very bondage to you.

- Saint Margaret-Mary Alacoque, 1647-1690
