Novena To St. Catherine of Siena

 
 
Heavenly Father, 
your glory is in your saints. 
We praise your glory 
in the life of the admirable St. Catherine of Siena, 
virgin and doctor of the Church. 
 
Her whole life was a noble sacrifice 
inspired by an ardent love of Jesus, 
your unblemished Lamb. 
In troubled times 
she strenuously upheld the rights 
of His beloved spouse, the Church. 
 
Father, honour her merits 
and hear her prayers for each of us, 
and for our whole parish family dedicated to her. 
Help us to pass unscathed through the corruption of this world, 
and to remain unshakably faithful 
to the church in word, deed, and example. 
 
Help us always to see in the Vicar of Christ 
an anchor in the storms of life, 
and a beacon of light to the harbour of your Love, 
in this dark night of your times and men's souls. 
Grant also to each of us our special petition...

(State your need here...)

We ask this through Jesus, your Son, 
in the bond of the Holy Spirit. 

Amen. 

St. Catherine of Siena, 
Pray for us.
