Novena To Saint John De Matha (Trinitarian)

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

O God, You were pleased to institute by heavenly direction,
through Saint John, the order of the Holy Trinity,
for redeeming captives from the power of the Saracens;
grant, we implore You,
that by the suffrage of his merits,
we may be delivered by Your grace from captivity of soul and body.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who being God,
lives and reigns with You in the unity of the same Holy Spirit,
forever and ever.

Amen.
 

Prayer to the Most Holy Trinity
(For the imprisoned)

Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
Thou didst call John De Matha
to be a liberator of those who suffered the pains of captivity.
Through his intercession,
give patience and love to those who are persecuted
for their faith in Christ;
bestow Thy liberating grace on all who are enchained
by any form of addiction;
and instill a sense of purifying purposefulness
in all who serve time in correction institutions.

Holy and Blessed Trinity,
instill in my heart and in the hearts of all
who are associated with the Trinitarian Order
that love which moved John de Matha to labor
for the spiritual and physical freedom of all Thy sons and daughters.
Instill in us a deep compassion for the poor
and the less fortunate of society,
and transform us into apostles of Thy kingdom of justice
and peace in our world.

We ask this, Trinity Most Holy,
because Thou art at once our loving Father,
our compassionate Redeemer,
and the Spirit from Whom all blessings come.

Amen.

Prayer to Saint John de Matha
For the members of the Third Order of the Most Holy Trinity.

Holy Founder, John De Matha,
the loving plan of God has willed that we be thy spiritual heirs.
Protect us and all members of the Trinitarian Family.
Obtain for us the grace to be filled
with thy dynamic love for God-Trinity
and a deep compassion for suffering humanity.

May thine example inspire us to live a personal
and social life which is rooted in the Gospel
and exemplifies the love and unity of the Holy Trinity.
May thy redemptive spirit
animate us to imitate Christ the Redeemer,
and uphold the freedom of all people,
especially those who are marked
with the hardship of the human condition.

May our commitment to the ideal of Christian love bring us,
one day, to enjoy with thee the beatific vision of God-Trinity.

We make this prayer through Christ, our Lord.

Amen.
