Coming before the Creator in His fullness, submitting ourselves to His Mercy is fitting. While we make ourselves a sacrifice for His Desires, He hears us and will respond, perhaps not in the way we imagine, but He responds.
By the fullness of our self-offering, we become His Servant and are united to Christ… through the Holy Spirit.
This is a Novena for our own self-conversion into His Servant.
Daily:
+ Our Help is in the Name of the Lord,
Who made Heaven and earth.
I confess to Almighty God,
to the blessed Mary Ever-Virgin,
to the blessed Michael the Archangel,
to the blessed John the Baptist,
to the holy Apostles Peter and Paul,
to all the Saints,
and to you, brothers and sisters:
for I have sinned exceedingly in thought, in word, and in deed:
Striking your breast three times, say:
through my fault,
through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
Then continue:
therefore I ask the blessed Mary ever Virgin,
the blessed Michael the Archangel,
the blessed John the Baptist,
the holy Apostles Peter and Paul,
all the Saints, and you, brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.
Amen.
Our Father, who art in Heaven,
hallowed be thy Name;
thy Kingdom come,
thy Will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Bow down
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Jn 1:1-5 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
Father, hold me in Your Hands,

Thank you Most Holy Trinity, You hear me, Your child. You desire to be active in my life, to show me how to truly live, and to lead me home to be with You in Heaven for all eternity. And here, You ask no more than for me to say Yes to Your offer of Love.
Yes Lord, I am Yours’, I accept Your Love.
By Your Love and Mercy, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, hear my moanings and utterings seeking Your aid.
I intercede and petition You for (intention here).
