NOVENA PRAYERS

NOVENA TO ST. KURIAKOSE ELIAS CHAVARA

DAY 8 - FEBRUARY 16

Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, the Redeemer of the world, taught us that “Obedience is better than sacrifice.” St. Kuriakose, you were obedient to the will of God because you understood that it is more pleasing to Him than any sacrifice offered. Pray that we may grow in the virtue of obedience and always be obedient to the teachings of the Holy Church. Also grant us the grace to seek the will of God in everything we do. We trust in your intercession and ask you to obtain for us this particular favour (State your intentions here…) from our merciful Abba, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

PRAYER: Oh Almighty God, St. Kuriakose lived a holy life in your presence and became your pleasing servant through continuous meditation, prayer and service to the Holy Church. Mercifully look upon us who seek refuge in the patronage of this holy servant of yours. Oh Lord, we beseech you to cure the sick, console the sorrowful, bless the couples without children, grant students the gift of knowledge, provide shelter to those in economic hardships, preserve the priests and religious in holiness, and establish peace and joy in our families. We pray that You call children from our homes for the service of the Holy Church. Accept our prayers and bless us through St. Kuriakose, your humble servant and our beloved patron. Amen.

St. Kuriakose Elias Chavara: Pray for us!
