Novena Prayers

O most kind and loving St. Francis Xavier, in union with you I adore the Divine Majesty. The remembrance of the favors with which God blessed you during this life and of your glory after death, fills me with joy; and I unite with you in offering to God my humble tribute of thanksgiving and praise.

I implore you to secure for me through your powerful intercession the all important blessing of living and dying in the state of grace. I also beseech you to obtain the favor I ask in this Novena (here ask the favor you wish to obtain) but if what I ask is not for the glory of God or for the good of my soul, obtain for me what is most conducive to both.

Amen.

V. Pray for us, St. Francis Xavier
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Dear Lord, our God, your Divine Majesty welcomed the nations of the Indies into the Church, through the preaching and miracles of St. Francis Xavier, therefore mercifully grant that we may imitate his virtues whose glorious merits we hold in veneration: Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Amen

St. Francis Xavier, Patron of the Missions, Pray for us.
St. Therese, Little Flower of Jesus, Patroness of the Missions, Pray for us.
