Prayers
Novena to St. Francis of Assisi
1. O glorious St. Francis,
who voluntarily renounced all the comforts
and riches of your home to follow more
perfectly the life of poverty and total
surrender to Jesus Christ: obtain for us, we
pray, a generous contempt of all things in this
world that we may secure the true and eternal
things of heaven.
Glory be to the Father...
2. O glorious St. Francis
who, during the whole course of your life,
continually wept over the Passion of the
Redeemer, and labored most zealously for the
salvation of souls: obtain for us, we pray, the
grace of weeping continually over those sins
by which we have again crucified Our Lord
Jesus Christ, that we may attain to be of the
number of those who shall eternally bless His
supreme mercy.
Glory be to the Father...
3. O glorious St. Francis,
who, loving above all things, suffering and
the cross, did earn to bear in your body the
miraculous stigmata, by which you became a
living image of Jesus Christ crucified: obtain
for us, we pray, the grace to bear in our
bodies the mortifications of Christ, that we
may merit one day to receive the solid and
unfailing consolations which are infallibly
promised to all those that now weep.
Glory be to the Father...
