Novenas

Practical Advice for a Successful Novena

   1. If possible, make the Novena in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament.
 
   2. Attend Holy Mass and receive Holy Communion every day, or at least on the first and the
  last day.
 
   3. Try to merit the graces you seek, by some voluntary sacrifice and by being more devoted
       and applied to the duties of the state.
 
  4. Have full and absolute confidence in Jesus Eucharistic, who is always so attentive to our 
     prayer and so prompt to answer them favorably.

Saint Peter Julian Eymard's Baptism
February 5, 1811
 

      Peter Julian Eymard was born on 4 February 1811 in La Mure d’Isere near Grenoble in the French Alps, and was baptized there the following day. The younger of only two surviving children of his parents, Madeleine and Julien, he showed a great devotion to the Blessed Sacrament from his earliest years. As a small child, he took on the task of ringing a bell through the streets of La Mure to announce that Mass time was near. This was indeed prophetic as his whole life would eventually be dedicated to proclaiming Jesus’ Eucharistic Presence in the world and encouraging devotion to Him.

Saint Peter Julian Eymard Novena
August 2

OPENING PRAYER

[Prayed daily for 9 days – Feast Day - July 24 – August 1]

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

    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.
      (Pause for personal intention)   
          
     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 that toward Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament, we may learn from that dear Divine Mother how to serve and adore on earth Our Savior hidden in His Sacrament, and thus come to adore and glorify Him unveiled in heaven.   

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