3⃣ NOVENA TO ST. ALPHONSA
DAY 1 - JULY 19
THE SUFFERING SERVANT
Loving Lord Jesus, who sacrificed Your life on Calvary fulfilling the will of the Eternal Father, we thank You for Your infinite love and supreme compassion, and the glorious act of redemption. St. Alphonsa was able to sincerely accept Your command: “if anyone wants to be a follower of Mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross and follow Me”. Help us to follow the example of St. Alphonsa who said: “I have a share in the Cross of Christ; I am with Jesus on the Cross”, and happily dedicated before the Eternal Father the responsibilities of her life, the hardships of community life, and the miseries of physical ailments. O Jesus, enable us to offer the crosses of our daily lives as an offering acceptable and pleasing to You. The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, Lord of all, forever. Amen.
(State your intentions here…)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be…
PRAYER: Lord, our God, illumine our hearts and minds to hear and understand the sweet voice of Your life-giving and Divine commandments. In Your mercy and grace grant that they bear in us the fruits of love, hope and salvation, beneficial to our body and soul and that we may constantly praise You, Lord of all, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, Lord of all, forever. Amen.
St. Alphonsa: Pray for us!
