  • Here's a Novena for All Saints Day, it lasts October 23-31.

    Decide on a saint by October 23 and start the novena, which will end on October 31, the vigil of All Saints.  Say the prayers once a day.


                                     Your Patron Saint, (All Saints)

    Novena Prayer

    Great Saint (name of Patron Saint), at my Baptism you were chosen as a guardian and witness of my obligations, and under your name, I then became an adopted child of God, and solemnly renounced Satan, his works, and his empty promises.   Assist me by your powerful intercession in the fulfillment of these sacred promises.  You also made them in the days of your earthly pilgrimage, and your fidelity in keeping them to the end has obtained for you an everlasting reward in heaven.

    I am called to the same happiness that you enjoy.  The same help is offered to me that enabled you to acquire eternal glory.  You overcame temptations like those that I experience.

    Pray for me, therefore, my Holy Patron, so that, being inspired by your example and assisted by your prayers, I may live a holy life, die a happy death, and reach eternal life to praise and thank God in heaven with you.

    I ask you to pray to God for this special request if it be God's holy Will: (Mention your request).

    Prayer

    Almighty, eternal God, You were pleased to make Your Church illustrious through the varied splendor of the Saints.
     
    As we venerate their memory may we also follow such shining examples of virtue on earth and thus obtain merited crowns in heaven.  

    We ask this though Christ our Lord.  

    Amen.

  • Here is a novena for All Souls Day. It's short, but it's the only one I could find.

    (Say once a day for nine days, starting on 24 October until the Eve of All Souls Day, which takes place on 2 November)

    O God, the Creater and Redeemer of all the faithful, grant to the souls of thy servants and handmaids departed, the remission of all their sins; that through pious supplications they may obtain the pardon they have always desired. Who livest and reignest with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.
