Novena To Saint Aloysius Gonzaga

Repeat the following Novena prayers every day for 9 consecutive days.

In the Name of the Father
and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

I, thy most unworthy client,
commend to thee most earnestly
the chastity of my mind and body.
I beseech thee, for the sake of thine angelic purity,
To commend me to the immaculate Lamb, Christ Jesus,
and to His most holy Mother, the Virgin of virgins;
and to protect me from every grievous sin.
O most tender and gracious saint,
Permit me not to defile myself by any spot of impurity;
nay, when thou seest me in temptation
or in the danger of sin,
banish far from my heart
every unclean thought and desire.
Awaken in me the thought of eternity and of Jesus crucified;
imprint deeply in my heart
a lively sense of the holy fear of God;
set me on fire with the love of God;
grant me the grace to imitate thee on earth
that I may worthily enjoy the possession of God
in heaven with thee.

Amen.
 

Marian Prayer of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga

O Holy Mary, my Mother,
Into thy blessed trust and custody,
and into the care of thy mercy
I this day, every day, and in the hour of my death,
commend my soul and my body.
To thee I commit all my anxieties and miseries,
my life and the end of my life,
that by thy most holy intercession and by thy merits
all my actions may be directed and disposed
according to thy will and that of thy Son.

Amen.

O most innocent and pure Saint Aloysius Gonzaga,
by thy illustrious merits
we beseech thy gracious intercession
before the throne of Almighty God,
that He may grant us:

[Mention your intention(s) here...]

If it be for the greater glory of God and our sanctification.

Amen.

Let us pray.

O God, the Giver of all heavenly gifts,
who in the angelic youth, Aloysius,
didst join wondrous innocence with equal penance:
be entreated by his merits and his prayers
and grant unto us who have not followed him
in his innocence the grace to imitate him in his penance.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.

R. Amen.

In the Name of the Father
and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.
