Novena
to Saint Francis of Assisi
Glorious Saint Francis, who voluntarily
renounced all the comforts and riches of your home to follow more perfectly the
life of poverty and abnegation of Jesus Christ: obtain for us, we pray, a
generous contempt of all things in this world, that we may secure the true and
eternal things of heaven.
Say the
Glory be....
O
glorious Saint Francis, who during the whole course of your life continually
wept over the passion of the Redeemer, and labor most zealously for the
salvation of souls: obtain for us, we pray, the grace of weeping
continually over those sins by which we have crucified afresh Our Lord Jesus
Christ, that we may attain to be of the number of those who shall eternally
bless His supreme mercy.
Say the
Glory be....
O
glorious Saint Francis, who, loving above all things suffering and the cross,
merited to bear in your body the miraculous stigmata, by which you became a
living image of Jesus Christ crucified: obtain for us, we pray, the grace to
bear in our bodies the mortifications of Christ, that we may merit one day to
receive the consolations which are infallibly promised to all those who now
weep.
"If we be dead with Christ Jesus, we
shall live also with Him," says the Apostle; "if we suffer, we
shall also reign with Him." (2 Tim. 2:11-12)
Pray for us, Saint Francis, that we may obtain
the graces and favors we ask for in this novena; (mention these) pray for
us, especially, that we may obtain the grace of perseverance; of a holy death
and a happy eternity.
Say 5 times The Our Father...
Say 5 times The Hail Mary...
Say 5 times The Glory be....
