Novena for Priests to St. John Vianney Day 7
by VP
Posted on Thursday August 01, 2024 at 01:00AM in Prayers
O holy Priest of Ars, your life was filled with humility. You wore an
old cassock. You ate meager meals. You realized that before the throne
of God, you were one of His creatures made to glorify God and praise Him
in all things. You said that the first virtue is humility; the second,
humility; and the third, humility. You counseled people to remain
humble, remain simple and the more one is so, the more good he will do.
Your simplicity of soul and your uncluttered way of life led you to
sanctity.
O humble St. John Vianney, when Father ___ forgets he is totally
dependent on God for everything, intercede for him with Almighty God, to
allow him to see that without His Creator nothing is possible and that
he must rely on God for everything. He is his Creator, who keeps him in
existence at every moment. Obtain for Father ___ the grace of humility.
May his life exemplify your humility and simplicity, a life uncluttered,
a life totally dependent on God.
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.
