Novena Prayer in Honor of Blessed Jose Maria De Manila

To be prayed after the Prayer after Communion, during the 6pm Mass every Monday.

O God,

You gave Blessed Jose Maria de Manila, Capuchin,

the great privilege of sharing in the passion of your Son,

our Lord Jesus Christ,

by accepting the grace of martyrdom

with unwavering faith and steadfast love.

Grant me through his intercession the grace of…

(Mention your request here.)

which I ardently hope for; and above all,

give me the grace of witnessing to my faith

and following the footsteps of Your Son,

our Lord Jesus Christ,

who lives and reigns with you with the Holy Spirit,

forever and ever. Amen.

The leader will now pray the following prayers:

Our Father, Who art in heaven,

Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come.

Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

The people answer:

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Leader:

Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

The people answer:

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Leader:

Glory to the Father, and to the Son,

and to the Holy Spirit:

The people answer:

As it was in the beginning, is now,

and will be for ever. Amen.

V.   Blessed Jose Maria de Manila.

R.   Pray for us.
