Miraculous Novena of
Grace
Prayer to Saint Francis Xavier
Feast Day: 3rd December
(For my friend, Xavier Tennison and
family)
Most amiable and most loving Saint Francis Xavier, in union with thee, I
reverently adore the Divine Majesty.
I rejoice exceedingly on account of the
marvellous gifts which God bestowed upon thee.
I thank God for the special graces He gave thee during thy life on earth and for
the great glory that came to thee after thy death. I implore thee to obtain for
me, through thy powerful intercession, the greatest of all blessings--that of
living and dying in the state of grace.
I also beg of thee to secure for me the special favour I ask in this novena.
(Here you may mention the grace, spiritual or temporal, that you wish to
obtain.)
In asking this favour, I am fully resigned to the Divine Will. I pray and desire
only to obtain that which is most conducive
to the greater glory of God and the
greater good of my soul.
V. Pray for us, Saint Francis Xavier.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
O God, Who didst vouchsafe, by the preaching and miracles of Saint Francis
Xavier, to join unto Thy Church the nations of the Indies, grant, we beseech
Thee, that we who reverence his glorious merits may also imitate his example,
through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
Then add 3 Our Father's and 3 Hail Mary's in memory of Saint Francis Xavier's
devotion to the Most Holy Trinity, and Glory be to the Father 10 times in
thanksgiving for the graces received during his 10 years of apostles
Amen
