NOVENA TO THE MOST HOLY TRINITY (MOST POWERFUL NOVENA): DAY 7 – FOR THE DEPRESSED AND THOSE CONTEMPLATING SUICIDE

(IT CAN BE PRAYED ANYTIME IN THE DAY)

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

Hymn

Most ancient of all mysteries,
Before Thy throne we lie;
Have mercy now, most merciful,
Most Holy Trinity.

When heav’n and earth were yet unmade,
When time was yet unknown,
Thou in Thy bliss and majesty
Didst live and love alone.

How wonderful creation is,
The work which Thou didst bless,
And O what then must Thou be like,
Eternal loveliness!

O listen then, most pitiful,
To Thy poor creature’s heart:
It blesses Thee that Thou art God,
That Thou art what Thou art.

Most ancient of all mysteries,
Still at thy throne we lie;
Have mercy now, most merciful,
Most Holy Trinity.

DAY SEVEN PRAYER

(For the depressed and those contemplating suicide)

Most Holy Trinity, Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, our beginning and end, prostrating before You, I pay tribute to You: Blessed and praised be the Most Holy Trinity; to You, Holy Trinity, be all honour, glory, and adoration for all eternity. With all my heart, I believe in You and Your faithful devotee I wish to be, I (NAME) come to You with complete confidence
ask you to always deliver me from evil as well as all adversities and dangers, and in my needs, I beg, grant me Your favour.

Today, I come before Your divine majesty to pray and commend the depressed and those contemplating suicide at this moment, come to their aid both in this present life and in the world to come – eternal life (pause and add other intentions). 

Mary, Mother of the Church and my Mother, you who are in the most intimate union with the Most Holy Trinity, teach me to live in communion with the three divine Persons, so that my whole life may be a hymn of glory to the Father, to the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was, in the beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end. Amen (12 times).

SCRIPTURAL READING: Hebrews 9:14

How much more will the blood of Christ, who offered himself, blameless as he was, to God through the eternal Spirit, purify our conscience from dead actions so that we can worship the living God.

Pause for a moment and reflect…
