Novena to St. Francis de Sales

Live + Jesus
Novena to Saint Francis de Sales

O Blessed Francis de Sales, who in your mortal life did excel in all virtues,
especially in Love of God and neighbor, I earnestly entreat you to take me
under your immediate protection, to obtain from God my perfect conversion,
and that of all sinners, especially of...
(the names of persons for whom you wish to pray should be mentioned here)
Teach me, O Father, to fix my eyes on heaven, that I may generously trample
under foot every obstacle that presents itself in my way, and attain that
degree of glory which you in your mercy hold out to me.
Obtain also that particular favor for which I now pray...
(mention intentions)
Assist us, O Lord, we beseech you, through the merits of Saint Francis de Sales,
that what our endeavors cannot obtain may be given us by his intercession.
Let us pray: O God, who for the salvation of souls, did will that Saint Francis de
Sales, your confessor and bishop, should become all things to all men and
women, mercifully grant that we, infused with the gentleness of his charity,
guided by his teachings, and sharing in his merits, may obtain eternal
happiness.
 
May God be Praised!
