St. Benedict Medal Prayer
May the intercession of the
Blessed Patriarch and Abbot Benedict render Thee merciful unto us, O Lord, that
what our own unworthiness cannot obtain, we may receive through his powerful
patronage. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen
(This prayer
may be said when using the Medal for any pious purpose.)
Novena Prayer to St. Benedict
O glorious St. Benedict, sublime
model of virtue, pure vessel of God's grace! Behold me humbly kneeling at thy
feet. I implore thee, in thy loving kindness, to pray for me before the throne
of God. To thee do I have recourse in the dangers that daily surround me.
Shield me against my selfishness and my indifference to God and to my neighbor.
Inspire me to imitate thee in all things. May thy blessing be with me always,
so that I may see and serve Christ in others and work for His kingdom.
Graciously obtain for me from God
these favors and graces which I need so much in the trials, miseries and
afflictions of life. Thy heart was always full of love, compassion and mercy
toward those who were afflicted or troubled in any way. Thou didst never
dismiss without consolation and assistance anyone who had recourse to thee. I
therefore invoke thy powerful intercession, confident in the hope that thou
wilt hear my prayers and obtain for me the special grace and favor I earnestly
implore. (Name
your petition.)
Help me, great St. Benedict, to
live and die as a faithful child of God, to run in the sweetness of His loving
will and to attain the eternal happiness of Heaven. Amen.
