St. John Vianney, Model of Purity O holy Priest of Ars, your life was a
model of purity. Your life of
chastity was a source of edification to all. You said that when a soul
is pure all the court of heaven looks upon it with great joy. Today we
are experiencing a great disregard for the virtue of purity; it is
looked upon with ridicule by worldly standards.
O great St. John Vianney, more than ever before, we need your prayers
and help in avoiding sins
of impurity. I ask you to help Father ___ to keep pure in mind and in
body and give good example in his speech, conduct and in his faith.
Obtain for him the strength necessary to combat
temptations against the virtue of purity, which could lead him away from
God. Unite your prayers with
those of Mary Immaculate to implore God that Father ___ be pure in mind
and heart and preserve him from those sins which are so displeasing to
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.
