Hi, I was wondering if anyone out there knew of any novenas that are more penitential in their tone? I would like to begin praying a novena in penance for sins I have committed in the past against Jesus and Mary. I have confessed since committing those sins, but I have a strong urge to perform an additional penance through a novena. I know that in theory I could select any novena and simply state that my intentions are to do penance, but I would prefer a novena which already has this as its subject. I know about the Fatima prayers, however those are done once a month for 5 months on the first Saturdays and this month is already in its second week and so I’d have to wait till June if I wanted to do that penance. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Here is a novena to the holy face of Jesus which I have a feeling might fit very well

The daily prayer that has to be said before starting the chaplet is this:

DAILY PREPARATORY PRAYER
O Most Holy and Blessed Trinity, through the intercession of Holy Mary, whose soul was pierced through by a sword of sorrow at the sight of the passion of her Divine Son, we ask your help in making a perfect Novena of reparation with Jesus, united with all His sorrows, love and total abandonment.
We now implore all the Angels and Saints to intercede for us as we pray this Holy Novena to the Most Holy Face of Jesus and for the glory of the most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. (Start novena)
 
Wonderful! I have gone from having no clear options to an abundance of choices. 🙂 Just another blessed exampe of “Ask and you shall receive”. Now I’ll just have to determine which of these many fine prayers to use first while I keep the others for future periods of penance. Thank you!
