Novena To Saint Alexius (The Man of God)
Repeat the following Novena prayers every day for 9 consecutive days.
O God, You gladden us
by the annual feast of Blessed Alexius, Your Confessor;
mercifully grant, that we may imitate his example,
whose heavenly birthday we celebrate.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with You
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
Saint Alexius, you who now reside in Heaven,
on my humble behalf,
kindly put a good word Our Heavenly Father.
Saint Alexius,
please pray for me.
Saint Alexius,
please pray for me.
Saint Alexius,
please pray for me.
Saint Alexius,
obtain for me the favour that I seek
through your powerful intercession
[state your prayer request here...].
I give thanks to You, heavenly Father,
for protecting me through the night
and granting me another day.
I ask You to fortify me
with the grace of Your Holy Spirit,
and give Your peace to my soul,
that I may be free from all needless anxiety and worry.
Help me to desire always
that which is pleasing and acceptable to You,
so that Your will may be my will.
Today, make known to me,
and take from my heart, every kind,
form and degree of pride.
Today, empty me of self,
and awaken in me the deepest depth and truth
of that humility which can make me capable
of your revealing light.
Today, do not allow attribution to me,
for the good that you perform in me
and through me, but rather,
that all honor be to you.
Today, may your presence in me,
and your work through me,
testify of your holiness and saving grace.
Help me to die to self each day,
and continuously seek your glorification
in all that I think or do.
This I ask in the name of Jesus Christ,
the Exemplar of humility.
Amen.
Say 1 Our Father...
Say 1 Hail Mary...
Say 1 Glory Be...
