NOVENA PRAYERS

NOVENA TO ST. ISABEL OF FRANCE

DAY 4 - FEBRUARY 20

Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us St. Isabel of France as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the virtue she showed in holding fast to her vocation as a consecrated virgin, despite great pressure to marry.

St. Isabel of France, you were betrothed to be married from the time you were a young child. Despite the expectations that you would be married, you firmly resolved to answer God's call to be a consecrated virgin.

Please bring my petitions before God with Whom you wished to be so intimately united!

Your family and others tried to persuade you to marry. You were later given another marriage proposal as well, but you continued to hold fast to God's call in your life.

Pray for me, that I may have the fortitude to do what God calls me to do, no matter how difficult it might be. Pray that I may never waver in my desire to serve God wholeheartedly.

Please also pray for (State your intentions here...)

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

St. Isabel of France: Pray for us!
