Novena Honoring St. John Bosco - In need
of special help, I appeal with confidence to you, Saint
John Bosco, for I require not only spiritual graces,
but also temporal ones, and particularly... (add your
personal intentions here)
May you, who on earth had such great devotion to
Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and to Mary
Help of Christians, and who always had compassion for
those who were suffering, obtain from Jesus and His
Heavenly Mother the grace I now request, and also a
sincere resignation to the Will of God.
Pray the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have
recourse to you. You are all fair, O Virgin Mary; you
never knew the stain of sin; You are the glory of Jerusalem,
you are the joy of Israel.
You are the great honor of our people, you are the advocate
of sinners. O Mary, Virgin most prudent, O Mary, Mother
most merciful, pray for us, Intercede for us with our
Lord, Jesus
Christ. Amen.
