NOVENA TO SAINT ANTHONY MARY CLARET

(Saint Anthony Mary Claret is the helper of those who are suffering from cancer,

heart trouble and other serious ailments of soul and body.)

St. Anthony Mary Claret,

during your life on earth

you often comforted the afflicted

and showed such tender love

and compassion for the sick and sinful.

Intercede for me now

that you rejoice in the reward

of your virtues in heavenly glory.

Look with pity on me...

(or on the person afflicted or whose conversion is desired)

and grant my prayer,

if such be the will of God.

Make my troubles your own.

Speak a word for me

to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

to obtain by her powerful intercession

the grace I yearn for so ardently,

and a blessing to strengthen me during life,

assist me at the hour of death,

and lead me to a happy eternity.

Amen.
