The Novena for Difficult Times, Day 8

The Novena for Difficult Times, Day 8

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. 

Amen.

Father in Heaven, thank You for the witness of the saints who show us how to live a faithful life despite its imperfections and pains. We seek their intercession now to help us through this difficult time.

Only You know exactly what I need to get through this. Show me the way.

Come, Holy Spirit, and guide me.

St. John Paul II, I imagine it must have been hard to cling to your faith during trying times of your life, after losing your family members for one. Pray for us and all who struggle. 

St. Ignatius of Antioch, you were a martyr for the Faith. Pray that we may not turn away from Jesus while we struggle, but that we will move closer and closer to Him.

St. Charles Borromeo, you were deeply affected by the death of your brother and you were determined to live a holier life after that loss. Pray for us as we try to do the same. You lived during the plague, and you know the challenges of living during a time like this. Pray for us.

Please especially pray for (mention your intentions here)...

Amen. 

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. 

Amen.
