St John of Damascus Novena - Day 4

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The Role of Icons St. John famously fought for the veneration of icons, which play a significant role in Orthodox worship. His articulation of their importance in connecting the faithful to the divine remains a cornerstone of Christian tradition. Through this, he teaches us about the value of sacred art in fostering our spiritual lives and enriching our worship experience. O St. John of Damascus, champion of sacred images, help us to appreciate the beauty and significance of icons in our spiritual journey. Let them be windows to the divine, illuminating our hearts and minds as we seek to encounter God within our worship. Inspire us to use the gifts of art to elevate our prayers. Help us to see God through the beauty of sacred art. (mention request here…) Our Father Hail Mary Glory Be In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.Amen.
