St. Nicholas giving alms to the poor and needy of his
diocese.
NOVENA TO ST. NICHOLAS
November 27 –
December 5
Glorious Nicholas, my own protector! from that bright throne where thou
dost enjoy the vision of thy God, in pity turn thine eyes upon me; ask for me
from God those graces and helps most seasonable in my present necessities,
whether spiritual or temporal, and especially the grace of . . .
(Mention petition here)
If such be expedient for my eternal welfare. Forget not, glorious and
holy bishop, our Sovereign Pontiff, the holy Church and this pious city. Bring back to the right way of salvation those
who live steeped in sin, or buried in the darkness of ignorance, error, and
heresy. Comfort the sorrowing, provide for the needy, strengthen the
weak-hearted, defend the oppressed, help the sick; let all know the effects of
thy powerful patronage with him who is the supreme giver of all good. Amen.
Our Father
Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily
bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against
us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; Blessed art thou
amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother
of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of death. Amen.
Glory be
Glory be, to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it
was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
V. Pray for us,
blessed Nicholas.
R. That we may be
made worthy of the promises of Christ.
The Sovereign
Pontiff, Gregory XVI., by a decree of the S. Congr. of Indulgences, Dec. 22,
1832, granted to all the faithful who with a contrite heart and devoutly, say
this prayer, with the Our Father, the Hail Mary, and the Glory be to the
Father, and the versicle. THE INDULGENCE OF FIFTY DAYS, once a day.
