Novena To
St. John Marie Vianney

The nine day Novena in honour of Saint John Marie Vianney is normally practiced from July 27 th (first day) to August 4th (ninth day).

DAY ONE: FOR ARDENT FAITH

Saint John Marie Baptist Vianney
you were born of a deeply religious mother;
from her you received the Holy Faith;
you learned to love God and to pray.
At a young age,
you were seen kneeling in the front of the statue of Mary.
Your soul was supernaturally carried towards the things on High.
Despite the high cost,
you answered your vocation!
Against many obstacles and contradictions,
you had to fight and suffer
to become the perfect priest which you were.
But your deep spirit of faith supported you
in all these battles.
0 Great Saint you know the desire of my soul;
I would like to serve God better;
from Him I have received so many good things.
For this, obtain for me more courage and especially the depth of faith.
Many of my thoughts, words, and actions
are useless for my sanctification and for my salvation,
because this supernatural spirit does not stir up my life.
Help me to be better in the future.

Holy Priest of Ars,

DAY TWO: FOR COMPLETE TRUST IN GOD

Saint John Marie Baptist Vianney,
what confidence the people had in your prayers!
You could not leave your old rectory
or your humble church without being surrounded by imploring souls,
who appealed to you as they would have appealed
to Jesus Himself during His earthly life.
And you, O good Saint,
gave them hope by your words,
which were full of love for God.
You, who had always counted entirely on the heart of God,
obtain for me a deep filial trust in His Providence.
As the hope of divine goods fills my heart,
give me courage and help me to always obey the Commandments of God.

DAY THREE: FOR A TRUE LOVE OF NEIGHBOUR

Saint John Marie Baptist Vianney
because of your love of God
you showed great charity towards your neighbour.
You could not preach on the Love of God
without burning tears of love.
During your last years,
it seemed as though you could not talk about any thing else
or live for anything else.
Thus you sacrificed yourself to your neighbor by consoling,
absolving and sanctifying them to the limits of your strength.
Your charity inspires me to greater love of God,
a love which is shown more by acts then by words.
Help me to love my neighbor generously as Christ loves them.

Holy Priest of Ars,
I have confidence in your intercession.

Recite the following prayers...

Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...

DAY FOUR: FOR A HORROR OF SIN

Saint John Mary Baptist Vianney,
you were so adamant against sin,
yet so sympathetic and so ready to welcome the sinner.
I come to you today as if you were still alive,
as if I were kneeling at your feet and you could hear me.
Bend towards me,
listen to the repentant confidence
for the weaknesses and miserable deeds of mine.
Priest of the Lord,
inexhaustible Confessor,
obtain for me the horror for sin.
You wanted us First to avoid the occasion of sin.
I want to take your advice
and make the resolution to break bad habits
and to avoid the dangerous occasions of sin.
Help me today to examine my conscience.

Holy Priest of Ars,
I have confidence in your intercession.
Pray for me during this novena especially for...

State your request here...

Recite the following prayers...

Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...

DAY FIVE: CONFESSOR OF SOULS

O Holy Priest of Ars,
you knew how important was a good confession
for the Christian life.
It was to procure the happy fruits of millions of souls
that you agreed to be in an uncomfortable confessional,
which was like a prison,
up to 15 to 16 hours on certain days.
I will try to develop the habit of frequent confession,
to prepare properly each time
and to have always regret for my sins,
so that the grace of final perseverance
but also the sanctification of my soul will be assured.
Ask this grace for me.

Holy Priest of Ars,
I have confidence in your intercession.
Pray for me during this novena especially for...

State your request here...

Recite the following prayers...

Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...

DAY SIX: REAL PRESENCE

O Holy Priest of Ars,
whose only comfort in this world
was the real presence of Jesus in the t
