Parish Novena

   

Through the intercession of Our Lady of Walsingham, St. Kateri Tekakwitha St, Thomas More and Blessed John Henry Newman we ask God to restore Murray O'Coin to health and strength to serve our Lord as Deacon in the Catholic Church, serving Christ the King, Tyendinaga.

In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.  

Let us pray. 

God our Father, you granted to your servant Blessed John Henry Newman wonderful gifts of nature and of grace, that he should be a spiritual light in the darkness of this world, an eloquent herald of the Gospel, and a devoted servant of the one Church of Christ.

With confidence in his heavenly intercession, we make the following petition for the healing of Murray and strength to serve his family and the mission of Christ the King, Tyendinaga.

We give thanks for the insight into the mysteries of the kingdom of Blessed JHN who was zealous in defense of the teachings of the Church, and in his priestly love for each of your children; we pray that he may soon be numbered among the Saints.

We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Our Father,  Hail Mary,  Glory be.
