Principal Prayer for Each Day

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

O glorious Saint, Blessed Jane Frances, who by your fervent prayer, attention to the Divine Presence, and purity of intention attained an intimate union with God, be now our advocate, our mother, and our guide in the path of virtue and perfection.

Plead our cause near Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, to whom you were so tenderly devoted. Obtain for us the virtues you see most necessary for us: an ardent love of Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament, a tender and filial confidence in His blessed Mother, and, like you, a constant remembrance of His sacred Passion and death.

Obtain also, we pray, that our particular intention in this novena may be fulfilled.

Pause here for your intention.

St. Jane Frances, pray for us, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.
