Novena To Saint Eugene De Mazenod

[The Novena is to be prayed on 9 consecutive days.]

PRAYER TO ASK FOR A SPECIAL FAVOR

God our Father,
by the grace of the Holy Spirit,
you called Saint Eugene de Mazenod
to gather priests and brothers
as Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate
to announce the Gospel
especially among the poor and neglected.
May we ourselves be inflamed with his zeal
for announcing the Gospel of Jesus Christ our Savior
and receive through his intercession
the special graces of vocations
to the Oblate way of life,
and for those we ask for at this time.

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

Say 1 Our Father...

Say 1 Hail Mary...

Say 1 Glory Be...

Saint Eugene de Mazenod,
pray for us.

Saint Eugene,
Patron Saint of Dysfunctional Families,
come to the aid of all families who suffer brokenness,

You know well these difficulties and trials

can help them in the midst of their darkness and despair.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.

to help those in need,
and to have the courage to do God's will.
I ask you to intercede on my behalf for a special need.

guide me to accept the difficulties in my life
and to work toward a happy and healthy solution.
May I accept God's will in my life
with strength and love.
I ask this through His Son Jesus Christ.

Amen.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
