Novena Prayer in Honor of St. Catherine of Siena

St Catherine of Siena Doctor of The Church-Mystic and Stigmatist

Heavenly Father, your glory is in your saints. We praise your glory in the life of the admirable St. Catherine of Siena, virgin and doctor of the Church. Her whole life was a noble sacrifice inspired by an ardent love of Jesus, your unblemished Lamb. In troubled times she strenuously upheld the rights of His beloved spouse, The Church. Father, honour her merits and hear her prayers for each of us, and for our whole parish family dedicated to her. Help us to pass unscathed through the corruption of this world, and to remain unshakably faithful to the church in word, deed, and example. Help us always to see in the Vicar of Christ an anchor in the storms of life, and a beacon of light to the harbour of your Love, in this dark night of your times and men's souls. Grant also to each of us our special petition . . . (pause to pray for your own intentions). We ask this through Jesus, your Son, in the bond of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

St. Catherine of Siena, Pray for us.

Peace of Christ to ALL

Prayer to Saint Justin Martyr

O God who revealed to Saint Justin
in the sufferings of the Cross,
the great wisdom of Jesus Christ,
grant that through the pleadings
of Your Martyr and our Patron
we may overcome the many errors
that surround us and that our faith
may grow ever stronger.

In deep humility we pray O Lord for
the strength to imitate Saint Justin in
his constant efforts to make known
the riches of the Faith to his fellowmen.
Grant us the grace to be ever mindful
of the many blessings we have received from You.
Through Christ Our Lord.

Amen.

Prayer to Saints John Bosco and Mary Mazzarello

God of mercy, You called Saint John Bosco and Saint Mary Mazzarello to be leaders and teachers of the young. Grant that inspired by their ardent charity we may serve You alone and never tire of bringing others to Your Kingdom.

Amen.
