I can do this for a novena. Might I recommend adding this as well:

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

Of course that’s an excellent prayer. I am trying to keep it short and sweet and besides, for many the first day is done.

I certainly wouldn’t discourage anyone from praying this prayer.

I think it’s wonderful you added this. I have been thinking these exact same words and saying them in my head since yesterday! MUST be the Lord!!
