NOVENA PRAYERS

NOVENA TO ST. DOMINIC SAVIO

DAY 6 - MAY 2

FOR LOVE OF MARY - “…I'LL BE FOR ALL MY LIFE A FRIEND OF JESUS AND MARY, SO THAT I MAY JOIN YOU FOREVER IN HEAVEN.”

We thank you Father, for having given us the Blessed Virgin to be our Mother, and our guide along our life's path, and we ask that we may be true imitators of her perfect humility, her immaculate purity, and her ardent love. We look to her for the greatest help now and at the hour of our death.

Saint Dominic Savio who always had a great love for the One you named the Immaculate Virgin, we ask you to obtain for us the grace to imitate your tender devotion towards her and to help us to reproduce her beautiful and admirable virtues as you did. Obtain for us the favors we ask and implore through your powerful intercession. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

PRAYER: Dear Saint Dominic, you spent your short life totally for love of Jesus and His Mother. Help us today to realize the importance of God in our lives. You became a saint through fervent participation in the sacraments; enlighten parents and children to the importance of frequent confession and Holy Communion. At a young age you meditated on the sorrowful Passion of Our Lord. Obtain for us the grace of a fervent desire to suffer for love of Him.

We desperately need your intercession to protect us from the snares of the world. Watch over us and lead us on the narrow road to Heaven. Ask God to give us the grace to sanctify our daily duties by performing them perfectly out of love for Him. Remind us of the necessity of practicing virtue especially in times of trial. Amen.

St. Dominic Savio, you who preserved your Baptismal innocence of heart, pray for us!
