Prayer
Novena Prayer in Honor of St. Francis Xavier
O GREAT SAINT FRANCIS, well
beloved and full of charity, with thee I
reverently adore the Divine Majesty,
and since I specially rejoice in the
singular gifts of grace bestowed on
thee in life, and of glory after death, I
give thanks to God, and beg of thee,
with all the affection of my heart that
by thy powerful intercession thou
mayest obtain for me above all things
the grace to live a holy life and die a
holy death.
Moreover, I beg of thee to obtain for
me (here insert some special spiritual
or temporal favor); but if what I ask
does not tend to the glory of God and
the greater good of my soul, do thou, I
beseech thee, obtain for me what will
more certainly attain these ends. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be, etc.
