August 2026 Novenas and Prayers

Welcome Novena pray-ers of the St Faustina Shrine/Society to the month of August as we celebrate the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We always have a lot to be thankful for and to pray for. Thank you again for praying with us. I hope everyone is safe and well. 

1. Saturday August 1 Let us pray these two prayers of reparation for the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Sacrifice Prayer: O My Jesus, it is for love of Thee, in reparation for the offenses committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and for the conversion of poor sinners.Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly, and I offer You the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences by which He is offended. And by the infinite merits of His most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conversion of poor sinners.

2. ‎Now Starting a Novena Sunday August 2 - 10 with the Feast Day of St Clare on Tuesday August 11. Come to the 3pm Holy Hour of Mercy at the St Faustina Shrine where we will be displaying info about the Poor Clares, especially the ones who were in Memphis. Also, we will have a first class relic of St Clare to venerate.
Let us pray:INVOCATION: O most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we praise your holy Name, and the wonders of grace you worked in your servant, St. Clare. Through her powerful intercession grant us the favors we beg in this novena, above all the grace to live and die as she did in your most holy love.
Blessed St. Clare, whose very name means light, illumine the darkness of our minds and hearts, so that we may see what God wishes us to do and perform it with a willing and joyful heart. Before your birth, a heavenly voice foretold that you would be a light illuminating the world. Be a light to us in the sorrows and anxieties of this earthly life and lead us into the eternal light of our home in heaven. Amen.    Pray for us, St. Clare, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.Let as pray as St Clare prayed: St. Clare of Assisi's last reported words were, "Blessed be You, O God, for having created me."
 

3. Aug 6 Feast of the Transfiguration:
Lord Jesus, you revealed your glory on the holy mountain to strengthen your disciples for the path ahead. Transform my heart today by the light of your presence. Help me to listen to your voice, cast away the darkness of sin, and walk faithfully toward the cross, trusting in the glory of your resurrection. Amen.
*** Remember Fatima Thursday August 13. Prayers will be sent before then.
 

4.  Friday Aug 14 Feast of St Maximillian Kolbe:

5. Saturday Aug 15 Feast of the Assumption of Mary Prayer: 
 Father in heaven, all creation rightly gives you praise, for all life and all holiness come from you. In the plan of your wisdom she who bore the Christ in her wombwas raised body and soul in glory to be with him in heaven. May we follow her example in reflecting your holiness and join in her hymn of endless love and praise.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

6. Aug 22 Feast of the Queenship of Mary:Prayer to Mary, Queen of Heaven

O Mary, Mother of God and Queen of Heaven,
we place ourselves under your holy protection.
You are our mother, our advocate, and our hope.
Help us to follow your example of faith and obedience.
Guide our hearts closer to your Son, Jesus Christ, our King.
Amen.

7. Aug 24 Let us Pray on Monday the Feast Day of St Bartholomew 
 God and loving father, you have given us the glorious Apostle Bartholomew as our beloved Patron Saint and powerful advocate in heaven. We offer you our prayers, animated by a spirit of confidence that through the efficacious intercession of Saint Bartholomew, we shall merit your unfailing help and protection and shall ever remain loyal and devoted to Divine will all the days of our life.
Teach us to cherish, proclaim, and practice the Gospel message of Christ, which Saint Bartholomew so eloquently preached and finally sealed with his heroic martyrdom. As we prepare devoutly for his solemn feast by this novena prayer, we trustingly raise our minds and hearts to you.
Refuse not, o Lord God, our humble petition but unite it with that of Apostle Bartholomew and of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of the Apostles, so that we may obtain the grace of true repentance for our Sins, of divine assistance in our spiritual and temporal wants, and of constant fidelity to all our Christian duties. This we ask through Jesus Christ, Our Lord, Amen
 

8. Aug 27 Feast of St Monica Prayer to St. Monica (For a Child)

Exemplary Mother of the great Augustine,
you perseveringly pursued your wayward son,
not with wild threats but with prayerful cries to heaven.
Intercede for all mothers in our day
so that they may learn to draw their children to God.
Teach them how to remain close to their children,
even the prodigal sons and daughters who have gone astray.
Amen.

9. Aug 28 Friday Prayer to seek God with the same passion as St. Augustine on the Feast Day of St Augustine
Renew in your Church, we pray, O Lord, that spirit with which you endowed your Bishop Saint Augustine that, filled with the same spirit,we may thirst for you, the sole fount of true wisdom, and seek you, the author of heavenly love. 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.
10. Saturday Aug 29 Feast Day of the Passion of St John the Baptist

O God, You raised up St John the Baptist to prepare a perfect person for Christ. We call upon St John’s intercession to properly prepare us with a true sense of repentance to receive Your grace and salvation.
