I also ask for a special intention in this novena
Pause here for your intention.
St Abigail, you endured strife within your own family and yet remained faithful to our Lord.
Pray for me, that I can be a peacemaker in my home and among those I love, for the glory of God and for the sake of souls.
Thank you in advance for the graces you are obtaining for me, and may I ever remain in a state of sanctifying grace, seeking God’s will every day of my life.
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
St Abigail, pray for us!
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
