Day 9


Act of Contrition


O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee,

And I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of Heaven, and the pains of Hell;

But most of all, because I love Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love.

I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend

my life. AMEN

O Lord Jesus Christ, truly God and truly man, my Creator and my Redeemer, I love you

above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended you, and I detest all my sins

offended you my God, who are all worthy and deserving of all my love, I firmly resolve

with the help of thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance and to amend my life.

Daily Prayer


Almighty God and Lord of all the Patriarchs whom you have made models of faith, I

present to you my intentions through these Patriarchs and your beloved servant,

St. Nicholas of Tolentino. Because of his deep faith and many virtues, you granted

St. Nicholas the gift to heal the sick. I, therefore, ask you to give me a faith that is alive

in your mysteries, a faith dependent on your Divine Providence, and the graces that I ask

in this novena.

Day 9 Concluding Prayer


My God and my Lord, gift for all the saints, you have given them the kingdom of heaven,

I offer you the intentions of all the heavenly inhabitants and of your beloved servant,

St. Nicholas of Tolentino. Because of his will-known virtues, you have made him an

example of self-sacrifice. Thus he is called the mirror of holiness, wonder of the world,

hammer against the devils, and happiness for the souls in purgatory, health of the sick,

light to the blind, strenght of the weak, tongue of the mute, ear to the deaf and

medicinal food for the sick. I humbly pray that you take me to your kingdom in heaven,

and that which I am asking for this novena, for your greater honor and glory and for

the good of my soul. AMEN.


(Pray 9 sets of Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory be. O my Jesus)
