Become a Pilgrim of Hope with Don Bosco

Dear St. John Bosco, as we enter this Jubilee year as pilgrims of hope, help us be voices for those most needing them, especially the young and the poor. Give us the courage, strength, and fortitude to always speak up for the most vulnerable while simultaneously seeing God in everyone whom we encounter. May our young people learn how to do this and be not only “Good Christians and Honest Citizens,” but bearers of truth, light, love, faith, and hope, too.

O holy St. John Bosco, who taught us that everyone can be holy and a saint, especially the young, please pray for us and our intentions. (Pause for a moment of silence to offer private intentions for St. John Bosco's intercession) May we follow your advice to “Trust all things to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and to Mary Help of Christians” and “see what miracles are.” In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

(Recite an Our Father, a Haily Mary, and a Glory Be)

Mary Help of Christians, pray for us! St. John Bosco, pray for us!

Novena for Peace of Mind

Kneeling at your feet, sweet Mother of God and Queen of Peace, I, your loving child, confidently turn to you in my need, seeking your intercession for peace of mind and comfort to my troubled heart. (Mention your petition here.)
O listen to me, dear heavenly mother. Come to my aid and refuse me not as I cry to you. For you are my mother, and you fail no one who has recourse to you, O Consoler of the afflicted, O Queen of Peace. 
Amen.

17 days of prayer with Our Lady of Montligeon  

Our Lady of Deliverance,
Have compassion on all our departed,
Specially those who are in most need of the Lord's mercy.
Intercede for all those who have gone before us
So that God's purifying love may be fulfilled in them.
May our petition, in union with the prayer of the Church,
Secure for them the joy that surpasses all understanding,
And bring consolation as well as comfort to our afflicted brothers and sisters. 
Mother of the Church, assist us during our pilgrimage on earth, 
to better ourselves on our daily journey towards the Resurrection. 
Heal the wounds of our hearts and souls.
Make of us witnesses to the Invisible One,
Already striving toward the good that eye has not seen.
Grant us the grace to become apostles of hope 
for our brothers and sisters here on earth, 
Akin to sentinels awaiting dawn.
Refuge of sinners and Queen of all Saints,
Gather us all together one day, for the Eternal Easter,
In communion with God, Father, Son, 
and Holy Spirit.  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.
