NOVENA PRAYERS

NOVENA TO ST. VINCENT FERRER

DAY 4 - MARCH 30

FOR HORROR OF SIN

St. Vincent Ferrer, you were so adamant against sin, yet so sympathetic and so ready to welcome the sinner. I come to you today as if you were still alive, as if I were kneeling at your feet and you could hear me. Bend towards me, listen to the repentant confidence for the weaknesses and miserable deeds of mine. Priest of the Lord, inexhaustible Confessor, obtain for me the horror for sin. You wanted us first to avoid the occasion of sin. I want to take your advice and make the resolution to break bad habits and to avoid the dangerous occasions of sin. Help me today to examine my conscience. Holy Priest of St. Dominic, I have confidence in your intercession. Pray for me during this novena especially for..

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

PRAYER: O my protector, St. Vincent Ferrer, as the eternal God has deposited in you an inexhaustible treasure of grace and of supernatural virtues, hear my earnest petition, and help me with your intercession, more powerful now even than when you were on earth. Hence with blind confidence do I cast myself at your feet, there to place my requests for all those in whom I am concerned but more particularly for (special favour). O glorious saint, let not my confidence in you be deceived. Present for me, to the Divine Majesty, your suppliant prayers and watch over my soul. Should sorrow and trials increase, so also will my rejoicing increase, and may my patience grow with each day, that I may thus save my soul. Amen.

St. Vincent Ferrer: Pray for us!
