Novena To Saint John of Capistrano

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

Amen.

I will rejoice in the Lord,
And I will joy in God my Jesus.
The Lord God is my strength.
Rejoice to God our helper,
Sing aloud to the God of Jacob.

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son and the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now and ever shall be world within end.

I will rejoice in the Lord,
And I will joy in God my Jesus.
The Lord God is my strength.
The Lord is my strength and my praise,
And He is become salvation to me.
He is my God, and I will glorify Him.
The Lord is a man of war,
almighty is His Name.
The Lord Who breaketh battles,
the Lord is His Name.

They sang to Your holy Name, O Lord,
And they praised Your victorious Hand.
St. John Capistrano called upon the most high Sovereign,
When the enemies assaulted him on every side,
And the great and holy God heard him.

O Lord, look mercifully upon our penances,
Regard with mercy our fasting, prayer, and almsgiving,
that through the intercession
of Saint John Capistrano, Your confessor,
they may break the snares of our enemies
and establish us securely in Thy safe keeping.
 

Alma Redemptoris

Mother benign of our redeeming Lord,
Star of the sea and portal of the skies,
Unto your fallen people help afford,
Fallen, but striving anew to rise.
You who did once, while wondering worlds adored,
Bear your Creator, Virgin then as now,
O by your holy joy at Gabriel’s word,
Pity the sinners who before you bow.

Amen.

O God, Who through blessed John Capistran
did enable Your faithful people
to triumph over the enemies of the Cross
by the power of the most holy Name of Jesus:
grant, we beseech You,
that by His merits and intercession
we may overcome the snares of our malicious
and spiritual enemies,
keep Your Church in perpetual peace,
grant us the special graces we now implore:

[Mention you special intention(s) here...]

And may we be found worthy to receive from Thee
the crown of justice.
Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

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

Amen.
