Novena to St. Alphonsus

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Glorious St. Alphonsus, loving Father of the poor and sick, all your life

you devoted yourself, with a heroic charity, to lighten their spiritual and

bodily miseries. Full of confidence in your tender pity for the sick, since

you yourself patiently borne the cross of illness, I come to you for help

in my present need… (Mention your request here…)

Loving father of the suffering, St Alphonsus, look with compassion upon

me in my suffering. Ask God to give me good health. If it is not God’s

will, then give me the strength to bear my cross patiently and to offer my

sufferings with my crucified Savior and his Mother of Sorrows, for the

glory of God and the salvation of souls, in reparation for my sins and

those of others, for the needs of this troubled world, and the Holy Souls

in purgatory. Amen.

St. Alphonsus Liguori, pray for us

Say 1: Our Father… Say 1: Hail Mary… Say 1: Glory Be…
