NOVENA TO ST. KURIAKOSE ELIAS CHAVARA

DAY 9 - FEBRUARY 17

Oh St. Kuriakose, you have taught us that the priests and the religious are called by God to save themselves and for the salvation of many others. Intercede for priests and religious so that they may lead a holy life and inspire others to do the same. Help us to live a life aimed at self-sanctification and salvation of souls. Pray that the number of vocations for the service of the Church may increase and grant us the grace to love our neighbours as ourselves. 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.
