St. Patrick Novena - Day 5

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. St. Patrick, obtain for me grace to love God with my whole heart, to serve him with my whole strength, and to persevere in good purposes to the end. O faithful shepherd of the Irish flock, who would have laid down his life a thousand times to save one soul, take my soul, and the souls of my countrymen, under your special care. Grant that all hearts may share the blessed fruits of that Gospel that you planted and watered. (mention request here…) I arise today Through God’s strength to pilot me; God’s might to uphold me, God’s wisdom to guide me, God’s eye to look before me, God’s ear to hear me, God’s word to speak for me, God’s hand to guard me, God’s way to lie before me, God’s shield to protect me, God’s hosts to save me From snares of the devil, From temptations of vices, From every one who desires me ill, Afar and anear, Alone or in a mulitude. V. Pray for us, O glorious saint Patrick. R. And obtain for us the intention of this Novena. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.Amen.
