Saint Patrick’s Day Novena

Beginning Saturday 8th of March

Daily Prayer

O glorious Saint Patrick, Apostle of Ireland!
I praise, bless, and glorify God for thy sanctity, thy zeal, thy charity, thy labours,
and the success of thy labours.
I thank thee, O great Saint Patrick,
for watching over and preserving the faith of the Irish people.

O dearest Saint Patrick!
heed not the unworthiness of thy children;
but continue, in the future as in the past,
to pray for them.

(here mention your petitions)

(remember this Parish also)

(be united with all those at prayer)

O glorious Apostle, Saint Patrick, guard and preserve, to the Day of Judgment,
the purity of the faith and morals of thy people in every land and in every clime.

O beloved Saint Patrick! obtain from God that Erin, and also our dear country of Alba,
may become again what they formerly were, “The lands of Saints and Scholars.” Amen.
