The Feast of Joy

When the Feast of Joy is here
May its light be o'er you gleaming
May its memories be near
To make real all your dreaming;
When the Feast itself has gone
When its Joys and you must sever
May the Peace of God live on
Bright within your heart forever.

Feast of the Holy Rosary

Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, in this tragic hour of the world's history we entrust and consecrate ourselves to your Immaculate Heart, our only refuge, our hope, our salvation. Have pity on this world, torn by the most terrible conflicts, burning with the fires of hate--victim of its own sins. May your heart be moved at the sight of so much ruin, pain and sorrow.

Mother of Mercy, Queen of Peace, pray for us and give back to a world at war a righteous peace and the justice and charity of Christ.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, may Your Kingdom come!

Immaculate Heart of Mary, refuge of sinners, intercede for us, save us, save Russia. Give us peace.

Feast day Oct 7th

Novena Prayer to the Little Flower

O Lord Who hast said "Unless you become as little children, ye shall not enter the Kingdom of heaven", grant we beseech Thee, that in loneliness and simplicity of heart we may so follow the virgin, Blessed Therese as to gain everlasting rewards; who livest and reignest with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.

Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory Be...

Remember O most gracious Little Rose Queen, your promise of never leaving any request made to you unanswered. Full of confidence of your power with the Sacred Heart of Jesus I implore your intercession on my behalf and beg of you to obtain the Rose I so ardently ask and desire.

Prayer to St John Bosco to obtain favours

O Glorious St John Bosco, full of confidence I have recourse to thine aid. Be thou my intercessor before the Throne of God; obtain for me the grace of never falling into mortal sin and of persevering in good works even until death; furthermore I beseech thee to obtain for me the grace.......... of which I so greatly stand in need; but if this would redound to the hurt of my soul, beg for me perfect resignation to the Divine Will.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...
