Novena: Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati: Day 9

Novena: Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati: Day 9

Jesus says: “Blessed are you when
they revile you and persecute you and
utter all kinds of evil against you falsely
on My account. Rejoice and be glad,
for your reward is great in heaven.”

Pier Giorgio responds:
“We who by
the grace of God are Catholics must
steel ourselves for the battle we shall
certainly have to fight to fulfill our
program and to give our country, in the
not too distant future, happier days
and a morally healthy society. But to
achieve this we need constant prayer
to obtain from God that grace without
which all our powers are useless.”

Let us pray:
Blessed Pier Giorgio, show
me how to bear all wrongs patiently.
Help me to accept the sufferings which
others inflict on me because of my
desire to be faithful to Jesus.

Blessed Pier Giorgio, I ask for your
intercession in obtaining from God,
Who protects the innocent, all the
graces necessary for my spiritual and
temporal welfare. I confidently turn to
you for help in my present need:

(Pause here and mention your request.)

Pray the Litany of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati

Closing Prayer:

Let us pray:
Father, You gave to the
young Pier Giorgio Frassati the joy of
meeting Christ and of living his faith in
service of the poor and the sick.
Through his intercession, may we, too,
walk the path of the Beatitudes and
follow the example of his generosity,
spreading the spirit of the Gospel in
society. We ask this through Christ
our Lord.
Amen.
