1⃣ NOVENA TO ST. VINCENT FERRER

DAY 8 - APRIL 3

FOR PURITY

O St. Vincent Ferrer, a witness of your life made this magnificent praise of you: “We would have taken him for an angel in a mortal body.” Such praise manifests the edification you exude to others with the modesty and the exquisite purity radiating from your body. With such charm and with such enthusiasm, you preached to others about these beautiful virtues, which you said resembled the perfume of a blooming vineyard. I beg you to join your entreaties to those of Mary Immaculate in order that I may be guarded always, and carry the purity of heart as God requests of me to have. You, who have directed so many souls towards the heights of virtues, defend me in times of temptations and obtain for me the strength to conquer them. 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!

2⃣ NOVENA TO ST. GEMMA GALGANI

DAY 2 - APRIL 3

Oh most Divine Lord, we humbly prostrate ourselves before Thy Infinite Majesty, and we adore Thee and dedicate to Thy glory the devout prayers which we now present to Thee, as an act of devotion to your servant, St. Gemma Galgani, whose intercession we are now imploring.

O worthy Spouse of the Lamb of God and faithful virgin St. Gemma, you preserved the innocence and splendor of virginity, giving to the world a bright example of purity and the most exalted virtues. Look down with pity from thy high place in heaven upon us who confide in thee, as we implore thee for the favor we so ardently desire..

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

PRAYER: O God, Who fashioned thy servant Saint Gemma into a likeness of Thy Crucified Son, grant us through her intercession the favor that we humbly request, and through the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Thy Son, may we be united with You for all eternity. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

St. Gemma Galgani: Pray for us!
