HOULY NOVENA TO SAINT MONICA

HOURLY NOVENA TO ST. MONICA – HOUR 2 

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Heavenly Father, in this second hour of the Hourly Novena to Saint Monica, I come before You with a heart that refuses to give up in prayer. You are the God who listens, the Father who waits with mercy, and the Shepherd who searches for the lost until they are found. Your Word assures me, “The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise… but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). In this truth, I find strength. Even when I do not see immediate change, I trust that You are working patiently and lovingly in the lives of those I lift up to You.

Lord Jesus Christ, You are the Good Shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to search for the one who is lost (Luke 15:4). In this hour, I bring before You those who seem distant, those who have wandered away, and those whose hearts feel closed. Go after them with Your mercy. Break every chain that keeps them from You. Speak into their hearts in ways only You can, and draw them back into the embrace of Your love. Let Your voice become louder than every distraction, every confusion, and every lie.

Father, I once again place before You the person or intention I carry deeply within my heart: (Here mention the name(s) or intention(s): ____________________________.) You know their struggles, their wounds, and the path they are walking. I surrender them completely into Your hands. Visit them with Your grace. Send the right people, the right words, and the right moments to awaken their hearts. Let Your mercy pursue them until they encounter You personally and deeply.

Your Word declares, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15). I stand on this promise with bold faith. Even if I do not yet see it, I believe that salvation, restoration, and transformation will come to my household. Strengthen me to keep praying without losing heart, trusting that You are faithful to fulfill what You have promised.

Glorious Saint Monica, woman of tears and unshakable faith, I turn to you again. You prayed without ceasing, trusting God even when everything seemed delayed. Your persistence brought forth a miracle of conversion and grace. Intercede for me now, that I may not grow weary. Teach me to pray with boldness, to hope against hope, and to trust God even in silence.

Holy Spirit, come and ignite within me a deeper fire of intercession. Remove discouragement, impatience, and fear. Fill me with unwavering faith and holy persistence. Let my prayers rise continually before the Father, and let my heart remain anchored in hope. May Your peace guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7), and may Your presence strengthen me in every moment of waiting.

Heavenly Father, I thank You for hearing my prayer in this second hour. Though I may not yet see the answer, I believe that You are moving, working, and preparing hearts. I entrust everything into Your loving hands and continue this novena with faith, knowing that Your mercy will bring forth fruit in Your perfect time.

 I ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

 HOURLY NOVENA TO ST. MONICA – HOUR 3 

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Heavenly Father, in this third hour of the Hourly Novena to Saint Monica, I come before You with a heart that chooses to persevere in faith. There are moments when waiting becomes heavy and answers seem delayed, yet Your Word strengthens me, saying, “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart” (Galatians 6:9). In this hour, I refuse to give up. I choose to believe that every prayer I offer is heard, every tear is seen, and every moment of trust is building something greater than I can see.

Lord Jesus Christ, You are the resurrection and the life, the One who brings what seems dead back to life (John 11:25). Where there is spiritual dryness, bring revival. Where there is hardness of heart, bring softness and openness. Where there is distance from You, bring a divine encounter that transforms everything. Speak life into situations that seem silent and awaken hearts that seem asleep. Let Your voice break through every barrier and draw souls back into Your love.

Father, I bring before You once again the person or intention that I carry deeply within my heart: (Here mention the name(s) or intention(s): ____________________________.)
You know their story, their struggles, and their hidden battles. I surrender them completely into Your hands. Surround them with Your presence. Let Your grace find them wherever they are, and begin to move within their hearts in ways they cannot ignore.

Your Word declares, “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective” (James 5:16). I hold onto this truth with faith. Even when I do not yet see the results, I believe that my prayers are not in vain. Strengthen my spirit to continue interceding, knowing that You are working behind the scenes, preparing hearts and opening doors that no one can shut.

Glorious Saint Monica, mother of perseverance and unshakable faith, I turn to you again in this hour. You endured years of waiting, trusting God through tears and uncertainty, and your faith was not in vain. Intercede for me now, that I may have the same endurance. Help me to remain faithful in prayer, to trust in God’s timing, and to believe that even the most hardened heart can be transformed by grace.

Holy Spirit, come and strengthen my inner being. Remove every feeling of discouragement, weariness, or doubt. Fill me with divine hope that does not fade and faith that does not waver. Let my prayer life be filled with fire, persistence, and deep trust in God’s promises. May Your peace guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7), and may Your presence renew my strength.

Heavenly Father, I thank You for hearing my prayer in this third hour. Even though I do not yet see the full answer, I believe that You are working faithfully and powerfully.

I ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Heavenly Father, in this fourth hour of the Hourly Novena to Saint Monica, I come before You with a heart that continues to trust even in the midst of silence. There are moments when answers seem delayed and change feels distant, yet Your Word assures me, “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him” (Psalm 37:7). In this hour, I choose stillness over anxiety, trust over fear, and faith over doubt. Teach me to wait with confidence, knowing that You are always working, even when I cannot yet see the fruits of my prayers.

Lord Jesus Christ, You are the Light that shines in the darkness, and no darkness can overcome it (John 1:5). Where there is confusion, bring clarity. Where there is spiritual blindness, bring revelation. Where hearts are closed, open them with Your gentle and powerful love. Speak into the lives of those I pray for, calling them by name, just as You called Lazarus out of the tomb (John 11:43). Let Your voice awaken them and draw them into a living relationship with You.

Father, I once again place before You the person or intention that I carry so deeply in my heart: (Here mention the name(s) or intention(s): ____________________________.)
You know their journey, their wounds, and the battles they face. I surrender them into Your hands completely. Surround them with Your grace, protect them from harm, and let Your presence follow them wherever they go. May they encounter Your love in a way that transforms their hearts and leads them back to You.

Your Word declares, “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still” (Exodus 14:14). In this promise I find peace. Even when I feel powerless, I trust that You are fighting on behalf of those I love. Strengthen my faith so that I do not take back what I have surrendered, but instead continue to trust in Your divine action.

You are the God of perfect timing, and nothing in my life is outside Your knowledge or care. Your Word reminds me, “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord” (Psalm 27:14).

You are the God who never forgets, never delays without purpose, and never abandons those who trust in You. Your Word strengthens me, saying, “Though the vision tarries, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay” (Habakkuk 2:3).
