Principal Prayer for Each Day

Pray this same prayer each day after the day's meditation.

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

Amen.

Dearest Lord, you have inspired St Charbel, the saint monk, to lead the perfect life of a hermit.

We thank You for granting him the blessing and the strength to detach himself from the world so that the heroic monastic virtues of poverty, chastity, and obedience could triumph in his hermitage.

We ask for his intercession in this novena.

O miraculous Saint Charbel, from whose immaculate body, which overpowers corruption, radiates the scent of heaven, come to my rescue and grant me from God the grace which I am in need of

Pause here for the grace you are asking.

Amen.

O Saint Charbel, pray for me.

O Lord, who bestowed on Saint Charbel the grace of faith, I plead to you to grant me this divine grace through his intercession.

O God, You have shown me the power of his intercession through many miracles and favors. Grant me the grace to live with trust, patience, and detachment, and if it is Your will, the favor I now seek.

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 Charbel, pray for us.

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

Amen.
