St. John Vianney Novena, Day Three

Today we petition the humble Curé to intercede for us, asking God to hear our own petitions but not before requesting the all important grace of true love of neighbor.

What a different place the world would be if everyone asked for - and accepted - this beautiful grace.

JULY 29: TRUE LOVE OF NEIGHBOR


Saint John Marie Baptist Vianney because of your love of God you showed great charity towards your neighbor. You could not preach on the Love of God without burning tears of love. During your last years, it seemed as though you could not talk about any thing else or live for anything else. Thus you sacrificed yourself to your neighbor by consoling, absolving and sanctifying them to the limits of your strength. Your charity inspires me to greater love of God, a love which is shown more by acts then by words. Help me to love my neighbor generously as Christ loves them.Holy Priest of Ars, I have confidence in your intercession. Pray for me during this novena especially for ... (mention silently your special intentions).


Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.
