FLYING NOVENA

 

"My secret is quite simple - I pray!"
Saint Teresa of Calcutta

FLYING NOVENA

How to pray Mother Teresa's "Flying Novena." ...Pray the Memorare ten times.  The first nine Memorares are the novena.  The tenth is in thanksgiving.

Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,

that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,

implored your help, or sought your intercession,

was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence,

I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.

To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate,

despise not my petitions,

but in your mercy, hear and answer me.

Amen.

Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta taught, "Prayer is a conversation with God; a piece of the inner, spiritual life; the characteristic and mark of a faithful Christian's heart; a continual movement of the Holy Spirit; a work of divine healing. Prayer is an indicator of a true and faithful Christian, a powerful living witness of the Holy Spirit. Prayer is a precious work and the highest honor, to be offered to God alone. It must be done in the love of God and the joy of faith with total resignation to God's will and certain expectation of divine help.  Prayer unites people with God and brings them into the realm of the Divine." [Saint Teresa of Calcutta] 

"How often I failed in my duty to God, because I was not leaning on the strong pillar of prayer." [Saint Teresa of Avila]

BLESSED KARL OF AUSTRIA

 

 PATRON SAINT OF WORLD PEACE

Please pray for PEACE ON EARTH !

Blessed Charles of Austria
Patron Saint of World Peace

(1887 – 1922) He was Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary,  King of Croatia, King of Bohemia and the last of the monarchs belonging to the House of Habsburg-Lorraine to rule over Austria-Hungary.  

Blessed Charles was beatified by Pope Saint John Paul II on October 3, 2004.  His feast day is October 21, the date he was married to his wife, Zita, in 1911.  (Zita is now being considered for sainthood as well.)  

Pope John Paul II called him "Prince of Peace" in his beatification ceremony, and Church leaders have praised Charles for putting his Christian faith first in making political decisions, and for his role as a peacemaker during the war, especially after 1917.  After WWI he was exiled with his family and died soon after in Madeira, age 34.  At the beginning of the cause for canonization in 1972 his tomb was opened and his body was discovered to be incorrupt.

Prayer to Archangel St. Raphael 

Glorious Archangel Saint Raphael,

great prince of the heavenly court,

you are illustrious for your gifts of wisdom and grace.

You are a guide of those who journey by land or sea or air,

consoler of the afflicted, and refuge of sinners.

I beg you, assist me in all my needs

and in all the sufferings of this life,

as once you helped the young Tobias on his travels.

Because you are the medicine of God,

I humbly pray you to heal the many infirmities of my soul

and the ills that afflict my body.

I especially ask of you the favor

(mention your request here)

and the great grace of purity

to prepare me to be the temple of the Holy Spirit.

St. Raphael, of the glorious seven

who stand before the throne of Him who lives and reigns,

Angel of health, the Lord has filled your hand

with balm from heaven to soothe or cure our pains.

Heal or cure the victim of disease

and guide our steps when doubtful of our ways.. Amen

ST CLARE, ST ISIDORE, ST CARLO ACUTIS

 

Saint Isidore of Seville
Patron Saint of the Internet

Saint Clare of Assisi
Patron Saint of Television

Saint Carlo Acutis
"Patron Saint of the Internet"
(1991 – 2006)

Please pray for the responsible use of the Internet and AI !

There is no officially appointed patron saint of Artificial Intelligence (AI), but many look to Saint Isidore of Seville as the patron saint of the internet and technology, due to his massive encyclopedia of knowledge which is seen as a precursor to the internet. Another contender is Saint Carlo Acutis, a young computer programmer and blogger who died in 2006 and is known for his interest in the internet and building religious websites. Some also propose a prayer for guidance on AI, inspired by Saint Clare of Assisi, to ensure responsible AI development and use.
