Happy feast of Our Lady of the Angels! (2nd August)
We begin the novena to St. Clare on this feast day, and will include all your intentions also, please join in spirit with us and so many around the world.
Novena Prayer
Beloved St. Clare,
by your trust in God's providence,
obtain help for all the poor and needy;
by your love for the Infant Jesus,
obtain the protection of our families;
by your love for Jesus crucified,
obtain for us courage in every trial;
by your love for Jesus in the Eucharist,
obtain our request...……..
by your attentiveness to the Holy Spirit,
obtain for us the grace of prayer and devotion;
by your likeness to Mary our Mother,
obtain peace in our hearts our homes and our world.
Amen
