Novena To St Peter Julian Eymard
NOVENA PRAYER
Saint Peter Julian,
who received the great privilege
of so perfectly knowing what treasures are ours
in the Most Blessed Sacrament,
of being all afire with seraphic love for It,
and of consecrating unto It your untiring zeal
that It might be perpetually adored and glorified by all mankind,
we beg of you to obtain for us the spiritual and temporal favors
of which we stand in need.
Obtain for us particularly to become,
in imitation of you,
faithful adorers in spirit and in truth
of the Most Blessed Sacrament,
while tending ever more toward the acquiring of Christian virtue,
above all, of sincere humility.
Thus we hope to live that life of union with Our Lord
which was the aim of your constant zeal,
as it is the principal effect on Holy Communion in our souls.
Finally, Saint Peter Julian,
obtain for us your own filial devotion
toward Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament,
that we may learn from that dear Divine Mother
how to serve and adore on earth Our Saviour hidden in His Sacrament,
and thus come to adore and glorify Him unveiled in heaven.
Amen
Say 1 Our Father...
Say 1 Hail Mary...
Say 1 Glory Be...
O Sacrament most holy,
O Sacrament divine.
All Praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine
Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament,
pray for us.
Saint Peter Julian,
pray for us.
Coming of the Eucharistic Reign of Christ
Saint Peter Julian who,
all aflame with faith in the Holy Eucharist,
pleaded with the world,
"Jesus is there, go to Him,"
obtain through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament,
that this cry from the depths of your heart
may re-echo in all hearts
and lead to a renewal and deepening of Christian life everywhere.
May your call resound even more powerfully
and fruitfully from heaven
where you now share the glory of the saints.
May it raise among the faithful and especially among priests,
to whom you were so constantly devoted,
new armies of adorers and apostles of the Eucharist who, like you,
will dedicate themselves to its glorification among individuals and nations,
and work for the coming of the peace of Christ in His reign of love.
Amen
