Heavenly Father, your glory is in your saints.
We praise your glory in the life of the admirable St. Catherine of Siena, virgin and Doctor of the Church.
Her whole life was a noble sacrifice inspired by an ardent love of Jesus, your unblemished Lamb.
In troubled times she strenuously upheld the rights of His beloved spouse, the Church.
Father, honor her merits and hear her prayers for each of us.
Help us to pass unscathed through the corruption of this world, and to remain unshakably faithful to the Church in word, deed, and example.
Help us always to see in the Vicar of Christ an anchor in the storms of life, and a beacon of light to the harbor of your Love, in this dark night of your times and men’s souls.
Grant also my intention in this novena (mention request here).
We ask this through Jesus, your Son, in the unity of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be.
St. Catherine of Siena, Pray for us!
