The novena to God the Father begins to be done this month to obtain any grace

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

O God, come save me.
O Lord, make haste to help me.

1. O Lord God, Eternal Father, I remind you of the words of your Divine Son Jesus: "Whatever you ask my Father, in my name, He will give it to you". Well it is precisely in the name of Jesus, in memory of the Blood and the infinite merits of Jesus, that I come to you today, humbly and as a poor man before the rich, to ask you for a grace. But before asking you, I feel the duty to pay, at least in some way, my infinite debt of gratitude and gratitude to you, good and powerful God.

In doing so, I am sure that it will be easier to answer my prayer. Accept, therefore, O merciful God, the most lively sentiments of thanksgiving, since the sense of gratitude is imperative in me.

Thank you for the benefit of creation, conservation and your watchful paternal providence which unfolds every day without my realizing it.

Thank you for the benefit of the Incarnation of your Son Jesus and of the Redemption generously accomplished by him for the health of the world with death on the Cross.

Thank you for the instituted sacraments, sources of all good, especially the sacrament of the Eucharist and the sacrifice of the Mass for which the bloody sacrifice of the Cross is perpetually perpetuated.

Thank you for the institution of the Catholic, Apostolic, Roman Church, the Papacy, the Catholic Episcopate and the Priesthood, for the authority and ministry of which I sail safely in the treacherous sea of ​​this life.

Thank you for the spirit of faith, hope and charity with which you have penetrated my mind and heart.

Thank you for the doctrine of the Gospel and its maxims which I have tried to treasure in order to live according to the teachings and examples of Jesus Christ, and especially of the doctrine of the eight Beatitudes, which comforted me in the pains of life, especially that in which it is said: "Blessed are those who suffer, because they will be comforted". And now that I have fulfilled my strict duty of thanksgiving to You, God the Father, generous author of all good, I dare to ask you in the Name and for the merits of Jesus Christ the grace that I await from your mercy.

Thank you, O Lord, God the Father, also for the pains, the pains, the humiliations, the diseases, the sad legacy of sin, that you allowed to come and visit me and try me, because they have bent me to the sacrifice so necessary to follow your divine Son who said: "Whoever does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple."
