NOVENA PRAYERS

NOVENA TO ST. VINCENT FERRER

DAY 3 - MARCH 29

FOR TRUE LOVE OF NEIGHBOUR

St. Vincent Ferrer because of your love of God, you showed great charity towards your neighbour. You could not preach on the love of God without burning tears of love. During your last years, it seemed as though you could not talk about anything else or live for anything else. Thus you sacrificed yourself to your neighbour by consoling, absolving and sanctifying them to the limits of your strength. Your charity inspires me to greater love of God, a love which is shown more by acts than by words. Help me to love my neighbour generously as Christ loves them. Holy Priest of St. Dominic, I have confidence in your intercession. Pray for me during this novena especially for..

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

PRAYER: O my protector, St. Vincent Ferrer, as the eternal God has deposited in you an inexhaustible treasure of grace and of supernatural virtues, hear my earnest petition, and help me with your intercession, more powerful now even than when you were on earth. Hence with blind confidence do I cast myself at your feet, there to place my requests for all those in whom I am concerned but more particularly for (special favour). O glorious saint, let not my confidence in you be deceived. Present for me, to the Divine Majesty, your suppliant prayers and watch over my soul. Should sorrow and trials increase, so also will my rejoicing increase, and may my patience grow with each day, that I may thus save my soul. Amen.

St. Vincent Ferrer: Pray for us!
