O Great St. Francis, beloved and full of charity, with you I reverently adore the divine Majesty; and since I especially rejoice in the singular gifts of grace, bestowed on you in life, and of glory after death, I give thanks to God, and beg of you, with all the affections of my heart, that by your powerful intercession you may obtain for me above all things the grace to live a holy life and die a holy death. Moreover, I beg of you to obtain for me:

(State your request…).

In asking this favour I am fully resigned to the divine will. I pray and desire only to obtain that which is most conducive to the greater glory of God and the greater good of my soul.

V. Pray for us St Francis Xavier: R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray: O God, you promised, by the preaching and miracles of St

Francis Xavier, to join unto Thy Church the nations of the Indies; grant, we beseech Thee, that we who reverence his glorious merits, may also imitate his example, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Say: Our Father, one Hail Mary and a Glory be.

… St Francis Xavier, Pray for Us …
