Posted on Monday July 29, 2024 at 01:00AM in Prayers
St. John Vianney, Greatly Devoted to Our Blessed Mother O holy Priest of
Ars, your life was
consecrated to the Blessed Mother. You prayed earnestly to her,
entrusting your Priesthood to her care. You begged all the faithful to
pray the rosary, the favorite prayer of Mary, our Mother. You summed up
the reason for your great love of our Lady by saying: We have only to
turn to the Blessed Mother to be heard. Her heart is all love.
O
great John Vianney, I ask you with all my heart through the merits of
Jesus and the intercession of Mary, the Virgin Mother to make Father
___ʼs life patterned after that of our heavenly Mother, full of love for
God and his neighbor. Obtain for him a deeper love for our Lady and a
filial confidence in her. She is the person to whom he can turn in times
of distress when lonely or upset or in times of temptation. Inspire
Father ___ to consecrate his life to his Mother in heaven. May he know
the powerful protection of Maryʼs Mantle all the days of his life.
Novena Prayer:
O holy Priest of Ars, St. John Marie Vianney, you loved God and served
Him faithfully as
His Priest. Now you see God face to face in heaven. You never despaired
but persevered in your faith
until you died. Remember now the dangers, fears and anxieties that
surround Father ___ and intercede for him in all his needs and troubles
especially console him in his most difficult moments, grant him serenity
in the midst of crisis, and protect him from evil. O St. John Vianney, I
have confidence in your intercession.
Pray for Father ___ in a special way during this novena.
