Join us in praying the final day of the St. John Vianney Novena! 🙏

St. John Vianney, from a young age you had a great devotion to our Blessed Mother, relying constantly on her intercession. In doing so you recognized Mary as your mother and realized that through your devotion to Mary you in turn gave full devotion to Her Son. Help our priests become devoted to our Blessed Mother and encourage active devotion to her by all the faithful.

Encourage those who are discerning to also accept Mary as their mother and seek her intercession. As Christ entrusted Mary to be the Mother of the Church, let all priest and those discerning receive Mary as their Mother and fly unto her protection in times of need.

Believing in the power of your kind intercession, we humbly ask you to pray for us and the special intention we are hoping God will grant us through this novena (here mention your special intention).

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.

St. John Vianney, in your great devotion to Christ, you imitated the great example of the beloved disciple and reclined your heart next to the Heart of Christ. Help our priests and those discerning grow in the knowledge that the priesthood is indeed the love of the heart of Jesus. Help them to grow in knowledge of the mercy of His most Sacred Heart and give them the grace to remain in Him. Help our priests be like Christ to the members of the Church and to likewise inspire them to grow in love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Believing in the power of your kind intercession, we humbly ask you to pray for us and the special intention we are hoping God will grant us through this novena (here mention your special intention).

Novena Day 7: August 1st 🙏

St. John Vianney, the infamous attacks of the devil which you had to suffer and the trials which disheartened you by fatigue would not make you give up the sublime task of converting souls. The devil came to you for many years to disturb your short rest but you won because of mortification and prayers.

O Holy Priest of Ars, powerful protector, you know the tempter's desire to harm the ordained and believing soul of the priest and the discerning soul of those called to participate in that calling. By the tempting of the evil one, they may fall to sin rejecting the Holy Sacraments and the life of virtue.

O Curé of Ars, dispel from them the traces of the enemy and keep them holy and pure. Give them the spirit of mortification and prayer so as to abide in the love of Christ so that they might radiate God’s love to His people.

Believing in the power of your kind intercession, we humbly ask you to pray for us and the special intentions we are hoping God will grant us through this novena (here mention your special intention).

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.

Novena Day 6: July 31st 🙏

St. John Vianney, you rejoiced at every opportunity to spend time in prayer and contemplation. Your dedication was such that, had it not been for practical considerations, your bishop would have granted your wish to be a monk.

Teach our priests and those discerning the importance and power of fervent prayer, that they may grow in understanding of God’s will for them. Obtain for them the conviction that through fervent prayer, nothing is impossible. Help them also to teach the faith the merits of prayer and encourage devotion to prayer in all of our churches.

Believing in the power of your kind intercession, we humbly ask you to pray for us and the special intentions we are hoping God will grant us through this novena (here mention your special intention).

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.

Novena Day 5: July 30th 🙏

St. John Vianney, in life you showed your great veneration and dedication to the Blessed Sacrament. To this end you spent long hours in the confessional to help
the faithful become worthy to receive the Holy Sacraments of Jesus’s Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.

Inspire our priests to share in this love of the Eucharist. Help them preach on the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist and practice true devotion to Him through
Eucharistic Adoration and Veneration. Inspire them to share their love and devotion to all the faithful. Help them and those discerning to obtain the fervent desire to
always remain worthy to receive the Blessed Sacrament.

Believing in the power of your kind intercession, we humbly ask you to pray for us and the special intention we are hoping God will grant us through this novena
(here mention your special intention).

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.

Novena Day 4: July 29th 🙏

St. John Vianney, you knew how important it was for a good confession in the Christian life. It was to procure the happy fruits of millions of souls that you agreed to be in an uncomfortable confessional, which was like a prison, up to fifteen and sixteen a day. Inspire our priests to grow in love of this great sacrament of mercy.

Help our priests courageously call all souls to repentance and encourage frequent reception of this blessed sacrament so that the grace of final perseverance and the
sanctification of their souls will be assured. Help our priests to be gentle and kind in the confessional to those seeking mercy.

Inspire those discerning God’s call to develop the habit of frequent confession, to prepare properly each time, and to always feel sorrow over their sins.

Believing in the power of your kind intercession, We humbly ask you to pray for us and the special intention we are hoping God will grant us through this novena
(here mention your special intention).

Day 3: July 28th 🙏

St. John Vianney, you lived a simple and austere life, preferring to store riches in heaven. You never turned your back to any of the poor people who were in need of your assistance. Pray that the Holy Spirit will enlighten our priests and those who are called to the priesthood and remain with them always so that they too may learn to forego material possessions to earn God’s grace. May they always value their spiritual health over all the wealth in the world and strive to help others to follow the path of simplicity of life.

O Curé of Ars, you so edified others: the modesty and the exquisite purity radiated from your body. With such charm and with such enthusiasm you preached to others about these beautiful virtues which you said resembled the perfume of a vineyard in bloom.

You, who have directed so many souls towards the heights of virtue, defend our priests and those in discernment against temptations and obtain for them the
strength to conquer these temptations so that they may fully give themselves to others and the Church.

Believing in the power of your kind intercession, we humbly ask you to pray for us and the special intention we are hoping God will grant us through this novena
(here mention your special intention).

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.

Day 2: July 27th 🙏

St. John Vianney, your successful journey to the priesthood is a testament to your determination to serve our Lord Jesus Christ. Your life as a priest is a shining example of what we should expect from the chosen leaders of God’s flock. Your perseverance in the face of many hardships has saved numerous souls.

May those men who are called to the priesthood accept the cross humbly and persevere through the many challenges of seminary formation. May they be inspired by the perseverance and dedication of the Curé of Ars to take up the call to Holy Orders. May all of our priests also be inspired to endure the many hardships that they may encounter in ministry and to overcome the opposition imposed by our modern society and secular culture.

May we, who contemplate on your life, also be imbued with the same determination to be the best that we can be in the many roles we play in life. Let everything we think, say or do benefit our neighbor and lead us ever closer to
our Heavenly Father.

Believing in the power of your kind intercession, We humbly ask you to pray for us and the special intention we are hoping God will grant us through this novena
(here mention your special intention).

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.

Join us in praying the St. John Vianney Novena in anticipation of his feast day on August 4th! 🙏

Day 1: July 26th

St. John Vianney, you were blessed with a loving and devout family who supported your desire to increase your faith and devote yourself fully towards imitating the life of our Lord Jesus Christ. In your quest to pursue your holy vocation, you were not deterred by the many obstacles that came your way. Your strong faith carried you through all of life’s trials to your place in God’s kingdom. Obtain for our priests and those who are discerning priesthood the same courage and faith that allowed you to give all to God without counting the cost.

Ask the Holy Spirit to guide them to the right decisions that will best serve God and their neighbor. Encourage all families in our Catholic communities to pray for vocations within their own families and be open to the gracious gift of a family vocation. May parents by their example in prayer and teaching inspire their children to stay strongly rooted in their faith and foster a great appreciation for the priesthood and religious life.

Believing in the power of your kind intercession, we humbly ask you to pray for us and the special intention we are hoping God will grant us through this novena
(here mention your special intention).

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.
