Catholic Prayer: Novena to St. Catherine of Siena

Description:

This novena is in a shorter form. If time permits, add three Hail Marys or say five times the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory be to the Father, or to use some of the many well-loved novena prayers from other sources. For the novenas that precede movable feasts, we begin nine days before the feast occurs. This novena begins on April 20 and ends on April 29.

Prayer:

O great St. Catherine of Siena, glory of the Dominican Order, who served the sick and suffering in time of plague and brought back the exiled popes from Avignon to Rome, pray for us that we may have some measure of your courage and self sacrifice. Amen

Blessed be the name of God!
