Intercede, O Mother Most Holy, for all who await and hope for the healing of their bodies. Intercede, O Mother of Consolation, for all who are to receive the healing of acceptance and the grace of the final journey. Intercede, O Mother of Hope, for all who await the healing promised in the Lord’s resurrection.
(Silently remember all who are in need of healing from addictions, and those who have entrusted themselves to this novena)
Dear St. Maximilian, Priest of God, intercede with Christ for mercy for all who are trapped in the bonds of any addiction. Devout servant of the Immaculate Mother of God, beg Her to crush with her heel the demons of addiction that afflicts our brothers and sisters. Obtain for us the grace never to withhold our love and understanding, nor to fail in persevering prayer that the enslaving bonds of addiction may be broken and that full health and freedom may be restored to all for whom we pray.
(Silently remember all who are in need of healing from these afflictions, and those who have entrusted themselves to this novena)
We turn to you, dear virgin and martyr, confident of your power with God and of your willingness to take our cause into your hands. We firmly hope that through your kind intercession He will restore lost serenity and peace of mind. May He speak to our hearts and reassure us: "My peace I give you. Let not your heart be troubled nor let it be afraid." Pray for us, dear St. Dymphna, that all those suffering emotional turmoil may again know serenity and personal peace.

Prayers of the Perpetual Novena for Healing
Our Lady of Lourdes
O ever Immaculate
Virgin, Mother of mercy, health of the sick, refuge of sinners, comforter of
the afflicted, you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings: look with mercy
on me.
By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes, you were pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary, whence you dispense your favors: and already many sufferers have obtained the cure for their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal. We come, therefore, with complete confidence to implore your maternal intercession. We pray, in particular, for all those who are in need of physical healing.

St. Maximillian Kolbe
O St. Maximilian
Kolbe, faithful follower of St. Francis, inflamed by the love of God you
dedicated your life to the practice of virtue and to works of the apostolate.
Look down with favor upon us who devoutly confide in your intercession. Having
consecrated yourself to the Immaculate Virgin Mary, you inspired countless
souls to a holy life and various forms of the apostolate in order to do good to
others and to spread the kingdom of God. Obtain for us the grace by our lives
and labors to draw many souls to Christ. In your close conformity to our
Divine Savior you reached such an intense degree of love that you offered your
life to save a fellow prisoner. Implore God that we, inflamed by such ardent
charity, may through our living faith and our apostolic works witness Christ to
others, and thus merit to join you in the blessed vision of God.
Saint Maximilian Maria Kolbe, your life of love and labor for souls was sacrificed amid the horrors of a concentration camp and hastened to its end by an injection of a deadly drug. Look with compassion upon all those who are now entrapped in addictions to drugs, alcohol, and other harmful behaviors and whom we now recommend to your powerful intercession:

St. Dymphna
Good Saint Dymphna,
great wonder-worker in every affliction of mind and body, we humbly implore
your powerful intercession with Jesus through Mary, the Health of the Sick. O dear martyr of purity, patroness of those
who suffer with nervous and mental afflictions, beloved child of Jesus and Mary,
intercede for all who suffer from depression, mental illness, neurological
disorders, and Alzheimer’s disease, especially those whom we entrust to your
intercession:
