I say these prayers everyday, I am thankful for the blessings I have. Maybe that is the true purpose of these novenas. To take the time out of our day to pray and to say thank you. Many times people pray when they are in need but not otherwise. I am thankful to Father God, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Virgin Mary, St Jude, St Anthony and St These of Little Flower for every blessing. I hope that these prayers help you as well.
DEAR HEART OF JESUS In the past I have asked for many favours, this time I ask for this special one. Take it dear Heart of Jesus and place it with your own broken heart where your Father will see it. Then in His merciful eyes it will become your favor, not mine. Amen.
Holy Spirit you who make me see everything and show me the way to reach my ideals. You who give me the divine gift to forgive and forget all that is done to me. You who are in all the instincts of my life. I, in this short dialogue, want to thank you for everything and affirm once more that I never want to be separated from you (name whatever your request is). Say this prayer for 3 days.
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession, was ever left unaided.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

PRAYER TO SAINT ANTHONY
O Holy Saint Anthony, gentlest of Saints, your love for God and charity for His creatures made you worthy when on earth to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I impmplore you to obtain for me… (Here mention your request.) The answer to my prayer may require a miracle; even so, you are the Saint of Miracles.

Amen.
