NOVENA PRAYERS
NOVENA TO ST. VINCENT FERRER
DAY 6 - APRIL 1
REAL PRESENCE
O holy Priest and Preacher, whose only comfort in this world was the real presence of Jesus in the tabernacle, was it not your great joy to distribute the Eucharist to the people who visited you? You refused Communion to the souls who refused to reform but to souls of goodwill, you opened wide the doors of the Eucharistic Feast. You, who each day at Holy Mass received Holy Communion with great love, give me some of your fervour. With freedom from mortal sin, obtain for me a sincere desire to profit from receiving Holy Communion. Holy Priest of St. Dominic, I have confidence in your intercession. Pray for me during this novena especially for..

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!
