NOVENA TO ST. DYMPHNA

St. Dymphna, a great wonder worker in every affliction of mind and body, I humbly

implore your powerful intercession with Jesus through Mary, the Health of the Sick.

You are filled with love and compassion for the thousands of patients brought to your

shrine for centuries and for those who cannot come to your shrine but invoke you in

their homes or in hospitals. Show the same love and compassion toward me, your

faithful client. The many miracles you have wrought through your intercession give me

great confidence that you will help me in my present need. (state your intention here!)

I am confident of obtaining my request, if it is for the greater glory of God and the

good of my soul. For the sake of Jesus and Mary, whom you loved so earnestly, and for

whom you offered your life in martyrdom, grant my prayer.

St. Dymphna, young and beautiful, innocent and pure, help me to imitate your love of

purity. You chose to be martyred by your own fathers sword rather than consent to sin.

Give me strength and courage in fighting off the temptations of the world and evil

desires.

As you have given all the love of your heart to Jesus, help me to love God with my

whole heart and serve Him faithfully. As you bore the persecution of your father and

the sufferings of an exile so patiently, obtain for me the patience I need to accept the

trials of my life with loving resignation to the will of God.

St. Dymphna, through your glorious martyrdom for the love of Christ, help me to be

loyal to my faith and my God as long as I live. And when my hour of death comes,

stand at my side and pray for me that I may at last merit the eternal crown of glory in

God's Kingdom.

Good St. Dymphna, I beg you to recommend my request to Mary, the Health of the

Sick, and Comforter of the Afflicted, that both of you may present it to Jesus, the

Divine Physician.

O God, You gave St. Dymphna to Your Church as a model of all virtues, especially holy

purity, and willed that she should seal her faith with her innocent blood and perform

numerous miracles. Grant that we who honor her as patroness of those afflicted with

nervous and mental illness may continue to enjoy her powerful intercession and

protection and attain eternal life. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Amen.

the realm ofminor and major miracles. Saint Anthony, Performer of Miracles, please obtain for me the

Novena In Honor Of Saint John Marie Vianney

JULY 27: ARDENT FAITH

Saint John Marie Baptist Vianney you were born of a deeply religious mother; from her you received the

Holy Faith; you learned to love God and to pray. At a young age, you were seen kneeling in the front of

the statue of Mary. Your soul was supernaturally carried towards the things on High. Despite the high

cost, you answered your vocation!

Against many obstacles and contradictions, you had to fight and suffer to become the perfect priest

which you were. But your deep spirit of faith supported you in all these battles. 0 Great Saint you know

the desire of my soul; I would like to serve God better; from Him I have received so many good things.

For this, obtain for me more courage and especially the depth of faith.

Many of my thoughts, words, and actions are useless for my sanctification and for my salvation, because

this supernatural spirit does not stir up my life. Help me to be better in the future.

Holy Priest of Ars, I have confidence in your intercession. Pray for me during this novena especially for ...

(mention silently your special intentions).

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be

JULY 28 COMPLETE TRUST IN GOD

Saint John Marie Baptist Vianney, what confidence the people had in your prayers! You could not leave

your old rectory or your humble church without being surrounded by imploring souls, who appealed to

you as they would have appealed to Jesus Himself during His earthly life. And you, O good Saint, gave

them hope by your words, which were full of love for God.


7/9

You, who had always counted entirely on the heart of God, obtain for me a deep filial trust in His

Providence. As the hope of divine goods fills my heart, give me courage and help me to always obey the

Commandments of God.



Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.

JULY 29: TRUE LOVE OF NEIGHBOR

Saint John Marie Baptist Vianney because of your love of God you showed great charity towards your

neighbor. You could not preach on the Love of God without burning tears of love. During your last years,

it seemed as though you could not talk about any thing else or live for anything else. Thus you sacrificed

yourself to your neighbor by consoling, absolving and sanctifying them to the limits of your strength.

Your charity inspires me to greater love of God, a love which is shown more by acts then by words. Help

me to love my neighbor generously as Christ loves them.




JULY 30: HORROR OF SIN

Saint John Mary Baptist Vianney, you were so adamant against sin, yet so sympathetic and so ready to

welcome the sinner. I come to you today as if you were still alive, as if I were kneeling at your feet and

you could hear me. Bend towards me, listen to the repentant confidence for the weaknesses and

miserable deeds of mine.

Priest of the Lord, inexhaustible Confessor, obtain for me the horror for sin. You wanted us First to avoid

the occasion of sin. I want totake your advice and make the resolution to break bad habits and to avoid

the dangerous occasions of sin. Help me today to examine my conscience.

Holy Priest of Ars, I have confidence in your intercession. Pray for me during this novena especially for...



JULY 31: CONFESSOR OF SOULS

O Holy Priest of Ars, you knew how important was a good confession for the Christian life. It was to

procure the happy fruits of millions of souls that you agreed to be in an uncomfortable confessional,

which was like a prison, up to 15 to 16 hours on certain days.


8/9

I will try to develop the habit of frequent confession, to prepare properly each time and to have always

regret for my sins, so that the grace of final perseverance but also the sanctification of my soul will be

assured. Ask this grace for me.



Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be

AUGUST 1: REAL PRESENCE

O Holy Priest of Ars, whose only comfort in this world was the real presence of Jesus in the tabernacle,

was it not your great joy to distribute the Eucharist to the pilgrims who visited you? You refused

Communion to the souls who refused to reform but to souls of goodwill you opened wide the doors of

the Eucharistic Feast.

You, who each day at Holy Mass received Holy Communion with great loves, give me some of your

fervor. With freedom from mortal sin, obtain for me a sincere desire to profit from receiving Holy

Communion.

Holy Priest of Ars, I have confidence in your intercession. Pray for me during this novena especially for...



AUGUST 2: DISPELLER OF SATAN

O Holy Priest of Ars, the infamous attacks of the devil which you had to suffer and the trials which

disheartened you by fatigue would not make you give up the sublime task of converting souls. The devil

came to you for many years to disturb your short rest but you won because of mortification and prayers.

Powerful protector, you know the temptor's desire to harm my baptized and believing soul. He would

have me sin, by rejecting the Holy Sacraments and the life of virtue. But good Saint of Ars dispel from

me the traces of the enemy.




AUGUST 3: EXQUISITE PURITY

O Holy Priest of Ars, a witness of your life made this magnificent praise of you:

'We would have taken him for an angel in a mortal body."


9/9

You so edified others: the modesty and the exquisite purity radiated from your body. With such charm

and with such enthusiasm you preached to others about these beautiful virtues which you said

resembled the perfume of a vineyard in bloom.

Please I beg you to join your entreaties to those of Mary Immaculate and Saint Philomena in order that I

guard always, as God asks me, the purity of my heart. You, who have directed so many souls towardsthe heights of virtue, defend me in temptations and obtain for me the strength to conquer them.




AUGUST 4: DESIRE FOR HEAVEN

O Holy Priest of Ars, your precious remains are contained in a magnificent reliquary, the donation from

the priests of France. But this earthly glory is only a very pale image of the unspeakable glory which you

are enjoying with God. During the time you were on earth, you used to repeat in your dejected hours,

'one will rest in the other life." It is done, you are in eternal peace, and eternal happiness.

I desire to follow you one day. Until then, I hear you saying to me:

"You should work and fight as long as you are in the world."

Teach me then to work for the salvation of my soul, to spread the good news and good example and to

do good towards those around me in order that I will receive the happiness of the Elect with you.




O St John Vianney, Patron of Priests, pray for us and for all priests!
