1⃣ NOVENA TO ST. DOMINIC SAVIO
DAY 7 - MAY 3
FOR STRONG FAITH - "BESIDES, I THOUGHT OF OUR DIVINE SAVIOR WHO WAS UNJUSTLY ACCUSED".
Lord, help us to obtain a faith which triumphs over all temptations of the world and conquers human respect; which can be shaken by nothing, and is directed solely towards You.
Following the example of St. Dominic Savio, may we live by faith, surrendering our heart to God that once we may behold in heaven what we now firmly believe on earth. 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!

PRAYER: Jesus, please help us to always remain close to You, and we particularly ask You today to help us and all people to grow in holy joy! Help us to devote our lives more fully to You each day. Give us the grace to remain in Your friendship until we die. And I especially ask in this novena for,
