Novena to St.
Peter
O Holy Apostle, because you
are the
Rock upon which Almighty God has built His church; obtain for me I pray
you, lively faith, firm hope and burning love; complete detachment from
myself, contempt of the world, patience in adversity, humility in
prosperity,
recollection in prayer, purity of heart, a right intention in all my
works,
diligence in fulfilling the duties of my state of life, constancy in my
resolutions, resignation to the will of God and perseverance in the
grace
of God even unto death; that so, by means of your intercession and your
glorious merits, I may be worthy to appear before the chief and eternal
Shepherd of souls, Jesus Christ, Who with the Father and the Holy
Spirit
Lives and reigns for ever. Amen.
