O Glorious Saint Lydwine, Christ chose you to suffer terrible chronic pain for poor sinners and to offer up all your sufferings to Him.
Intercede on our behalf and help us bear our small sufferings with fortitude, calling to mind your greater ones.
Grant us the grace to trust completely in Jesus, even during times of deep sorrow and pain.
Help us to always place our petitions in the hands of the Blessed Virgin Mary who on our behalf will offer up our petitions to Jesus as she graciously did for you.
Obtain for us the grace to persevere in sufferings until the Lord calls us home to enjoy the Glory of Heaven, and pray especially for the grace we ask in this novena
Pause here for the grace you are asking.
Amen.
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.
Saint Lydwine, whose life was filled with intense sufferings for poor sinners, pray for us!
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
