Novena
to Saint Francis de Sales
O Blessed Francis de Sales, who in your
mortal life did excel in all virtues, especially in love of God and of
neighbor, I earnestly entreat you to take me under your immediate protection,
to obtain from God my perfect conversion, and that of all sinners, especially
of (the names of persons for whom you wish to pray should be mentioned
here). Teach me, O Father, to fix my eyes on heaven, that I may generously
trample under foot every obstacle that presents itself in my way, and attain
that degree of glory which you in your mercy hold out to me. Obtain also that
particular favor for which I now pray. (mention intention)
Assist us, O Lord, we beseech you, through the merits of St. Francis de Sales. That what our endeavors cannot obtain may be given us by his intercession. Let us pray: O God, who for the salvation of souls, did will that St. Francis de Sales, your confessor and bishop, should become all things to all men and women, mercifully grant that we, infused with the gentleness of his charity, guided by his teachings, and sharing in his merits, may obtain eternal happiness. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
