A message from Pope John Paul II
"Many problems darken the horizon of our time. We need but think of the urgent need to work for peace, to base relationships between peoples on solid premises of justice and solidarity, and to defend human life from conception to its natural end.

And what should we say of the thousand inconsistencies of a ‘globalized’ world where the weakest, the most powerless and the poorest appear to have so little hope!

It is in this world that Christian hope must shine forth! For this reason too, the Lord wished to remain with us in the Eucharist, making his presence in meal and sacrifice, the promise of a humanity renewed by his love."

Infant of Prague 1-Day Novena

(This Novena is to be said at the same time every hour for
9 consecutive hours in 1 Day!)


O Jesus, Who hast said, "ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock, and it shall be opened to you"; through the intercession of Mary, Thy most Holy Mother, I knock, I seek, I ask that my prayer be granted.
(Make your Request)

O Jesus, Who hast said. "all that you ask of the Father in My Name, He will grant you"; through the intercession of Mary Thy Most Holy Mother, I humbly and urgently ask Thy Father in Thy Name that my prayer be granted.
(Make your Request)

O Jesus, Who hast said "Heaven and Earth shall pass away but my word shall not pass," through the intercession of Mary, Thy Most Holy Mother, I feel confident that my prayer will be granted.
(Make your Request)

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil; may God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the divine power, thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
