January 2026 Novenas and Prayers

 Hello Novena pray-ers of the St Faustina Shrine/Society to the month of Jan 2026. Happy New Year!!  
The Catholic Theme for January is The Holy Name of Jesus. World Peace and

• Pope's Monthly Prayer Intention: Pope Leo XIV's prayer intention for January 2026 is for prayer with the Word of God. The intention encourages praying with Scripture as nourishment for life and a source of hope to build a more fraternal and missionary Church.
• World Day of Peace (January 1): The theme for the 59th World Day of Peace is "Peace be with you all: Toward an 'unarmed and disarming' peace". Pope Leo XIV invites humanity to reject violence and embrace authentic peace rooted in love, justice, and dialogue, not on fear or weapons.
• We always have a lot to be thankful for and to pray for. Thank you for praying with us.

1. Jan 1 On this Solemnity of the Holy Mother of God Let us pray the Memorare to the Mother of God 3 times:

Remember, O 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, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

2. This 1st Friday Jan 2 let us pray this prayer of ST Margaret to the Sacred Heart:

St. Margaret Mary explains: “We can tell him all the secrets of our hearts, disclosing our want and misery to Him who alone can remedy them, and saying, “O Friend of my heart, she(or He)  whom you love is sick. Visit and heal me, for I know well that you cannot love me and yet leave me alone in my distress.” Amen.

3. Jan 3 The Most Holy Name of Jesus: 

Prayer: God, You appointed Your only-begotten Son to be the Savior of mankind, and You commanded His Name to be called Jesus. Mercifully grant that we may enjoy the vision of Him in heaven, whose holy Name we venerate on earth. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

4. Next: Tuesday Jan 6 Healing Prayer to ST Andre Bessette:
St. Andre, I come to you in prayer for healing. You were no stranger to illness.Plagued by stomach problems, you knew suffering on a daily basis,but you never lost faith in God. Thousands of people have soughtyour healing touch as I do today. Pray that I might be restored to health
in body, soul and mind. With St. Joseph as my loving Protector,

no matter what the outcome. Amen.

6. Then also starting the Wednesday the 14th for three days 14-16 let us pray A triduum to St Anthony Abbot whose Feast Day is Jan 17. 

PRAYERS TO ST ANTHONY, ABBOT 

May we be assisted, O Lord, by the intercession of the blessed Abbot Anthony, so that those graces to which our own merits give us no claim may be granted to us through his favour. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Dear God, St Anthony the Abbot accepted your call to renounce the world and to love you above all things. He faithfully served you in the solitude of the desert by fasting, prayer, humility and good works. In the Sign of the Cross, he triumphed over the devil. Through his intercession, may we learn to love you better; with all our hearts, all our souls, all our minds, all our strength and to love our neighbours as we love ourselves. St Antony the Abbot, great and powerful saint, intercede for us also for this special request (mention your request). We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with God the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

7. Next Starting Wednesday Jan 14 - 22  Novena pray for the legal protection of unborn children. 

Dear Lord,

     May our government recognize the sanctity of every life and commit to protect the unborn. We pray mothers receive the wrap-around care and resources they need. We trust that you are on the move on behalf of each unborn child and their mothers. We commit them into Your care, Jesus through the intercession of your Blessed Mother. Amen.

8.Then Jan 16 Friday thru Jan 24 with the Feast Day of the Conversion of St Paul the Apostle on the 25th, Let us pray:

St Paul, you traveled the world, never quite knowing where the Spirit would lead you next. You journeyed in faith and accepted beatings, imprisonment, shipwreck, and ultimately execution because of your faith in Jesus Christ. Help me to accept the great adventure of leading a life faithful to the words of Jesus my Master, the Way, the Truth and the Life. May I ask myself, "Where does God want me to go today?" On the journey, may I love in the way You taught the Corinthians 91Cor.13), and be willing to endure all things for the sake of the Gospel. Pray with me, that I may heed the voice of the One who called you on the road to Damascus, and set you on the path that leads to life. Amen.

9. Then Jan 28 Feast of St Thomas Aquinas. Pray this prayer:

St Thomas Aquinas Prayer Grant me O Lord

Grant that I may know what You require me to do. Bestow upon me the power to accomplish Your will, as is necessary and fitting for the salvation of my soul. Grant to me, O Lord my God, that I may not falter in times of prosperity or adversity, so that I may not be exalted in the former, nor dejected in the latter. Amen

+++

Thank you for praying. Let us pray for all the requests sent to us and in our Divine Mercy Prayer Journals. For peace in the world and for all the sick, dying, and poor sinners. And for all your special intentions. This will add to our huge spiritual storehouse for souls so as to help satisfy Jesus' thirst for the salvation of souls

And let us pray for love of God and Neighbor. Be kind and selfless to one another.

And let us give thanks!! God is good all the time, and all the time God is good. We praise and glorify His goodness and mercy.

Jesus, I trust in You.
