Novena to Saints Peter and Paul
Begin Thursday, June 21 to the Feast Day, June 29
O Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, I choose you this
day and forever to be my special patrons and advocates,
you, St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles, because
you are the Rock upon which almighty God
has built His Church; you, St. Paul, because you
were fore chosen by God as the vessel of election
and the preacher of truth to the whole world. Obtainfor me, I pray you, lively faith, firm hope and burning
love; complete detachment from myself, contempt
of the world, patience in adversity, humility in prosperity,
attention in prayer, purity of diligence in fulfilling
the duties of my state of life, constancy in my
resolutions, resignation to the will of God and perseverance
in the grace of God even to death;
so that, by means of your intercession and your glorious merits, I may be able to overcome the devil,
and may I be made worthy of the Promises of Christ
and enjoy His presence and love Him forever.
Amen.
Our Father
Hail Mary
Glory Be
