Miraculous Novena of Grace

(Pray every day from March 4-12) 

Most amiable and most loving Saint Francis Xavier, in

union with thee, I reverently adore the Divine Majesty.

I rejoice exceedingly on account of the marvelous gifts,

which God bestowed upon thee. I thank God for the

special graces He gave thee during thy life on earth and

for the great glory that came to thee after thy death.

I implore thee to obtain for me, through thy powerful

intercession, the greatest of all blessings--that of living

and dying in the state of grace.

I also beg of thee to secure for me the special favor I ask

in this novena. 

(Mention the intention that you wish to obtain.)

In asking this favor, I am fully resigned to God’s will, if it be for

the greater glory of God and the greater good of my soul.

St. Francis Xavier, whose heart was ablaze with divine love, 

pray for us.

AMEN.
