St. John Vianney, Full of Zeal for Souls O holy Priest of Ars, you
taught men to pray daily: O my God,
come to me, so that You may dwell in me and I may dwell in You. Your
life was the very living out of
this prayer. The divine life of grace abided in you. Your zeal for the
salvation of souls was manifested
by your total self-surrender to God, which was expressed in your
selfless service to others. You gave of yourself unreservedly in the
confessional, at the altar, in the classroom, in fact, in every action
you performed.
O great St. John Vianney, obtain for Father ___
the realization that God also dwells in him when he is free of sin.
Remind him that the salvation of his soul is the fulfillment of his
existence. Awaken in him a sense of self-giving for the salvation of
souls. Obtain for Father ___ , by your intercession, a zeal for souls
like your zeal. May he see that God dwells in him and in his fellow men.
Obtain for him from our Lord the grace to lead all men to salvation.
Let your prayer be his: If you really love God, you will greatly desire
to see Him loved by all the world.
Novena Prayer:
O holy Priest of Ars, St. John Marie Vianney, you loved God and served

have confidence in your intercession.
