Hear, O Lord, the prayer which we offer you,
made worthy by the intercession
of your faithful servant
and our protection St. Nicholas
whose witness during life on earth
was pleasing to you as his prayer is now in heaven.
We recognize our weaknesses and our sins,
but we trust in the fraternal aid of St. Nicholas
whom you, O Lord, wished to raise up
in our midst as a sign and instrument of your providence.
Sustain us with your prayer,
O St. Nicholas, and do not abandon us,
because we who invoke you as protector
know that in you we have a valid model of Christian life,
and a powerful incentive for advancing in goodness and virtue.
We desire to have, O St. Nicholas,
your faith, your hope and your charity in order
to be more grateful to the Lord and worthier
to be heard, but finding ourselves so poor we trust
in the infinite goodness and mercy
of the Lord obtained for us
by your powerful intercession.
Amen…

Faithful God,
light of all hearts,
we praise you for St. Monica,
woman of living faith and reconciling love.
She nursed her son, St. Augustine,
in the name of Jesus,
and urged him tirelessly to a Christian way of life.
In answer to her prayers
for St. Augustine’s conversion,
you gave her greater joy than
all hear tears had dared to ask.
Through the intercession
of St. Monica, we ask you to hear our prayers.
As you once captivated the heart of St. Augustine,
so now draw our hearts to you,
beauty ever ancient, ever new.
Amen.
PERPETUAL NOVENA IN HONOR OF JESUS CHRIST “ECCE HOMO”
Lord Jesus Christ,
true God and true Man,
our first parents Adam and Eve
disobeyed the will of the Father
and so sin and death entered the world.
By your obedience to the will of the Father,
you willingly underwent your Passion and Death
for the salvation of Mankind
and through your glorious Resurrection
has accomplished our redemption.
As we make this Novena,
we remember the many sufferings you have endured for us.
We particularly recall the humiliations
you endured when Pilate abandoned you to the crowd by saying:
“Ecce Homo: Behold the Man you are demanding to be crucified,
I wash my hands of this man’s blood.”
Pilate handed you over to the crowd
even though he knew that you were innocent
and washed his hands to absolve himself of your blood.
Grant O Lord, that amidst the many uncertainties
of our life on earth, we may be courageous enough
to stand for what is true and just in our society.
Through your Most Holy Passion,
we beseech you to grant us the graces we need this day.
Through your Most Holy Wounds,
heal us of all our infirmities and give us health of mind,
body and soul and through your Most Glorious Passion,
bring us all to the joys of Paradise.
Amen.
