Saint Benedict Abbot
Novena Prayer
O glorious St. Benedict, sublime
model of all virtues, pure vessel of God's grace! Behold me, humbly kneeling at
thy feet. I implore thy loving heart to pray for me before the throne of God.
To thee I have recourse in all the dangers which daily surround me. Shield me
against my enemies, inspire me to imitate thee in all things. May thy blessing
be with me always, so that I may shun whatever God forbids and avoid the
occasions of sin.
Graciously obtain for me from God
those favors and graces of which I stand so much in need, in the trials, miseries
and afflictions of life. Thy heart was always so full of love, compassion, and
mercy toward those who were afflicted or troubled in any way. Thou didst never
dismiss without consolation and assistance anyone who had recourse to thee. I
therefore invoke thy powerful intercession, in the confident hope that thou
wilt hear my prayers and obtain for me the special grace and favor I so
earnestly implore…
(Mention your
intentions here)
If it be for the greater glory of God
and the welfare of my soul.
Help me, O great St. Benedict, to
live and die as a faithful child of God, to be ever submissive to His holy
will, and to attain the eternal happiness of heaven. Amen.
St. Benedict, ora pro nobis!
