Novena to St. Joan of Arc - May 22 to May 30

Preparatory Prayer
Almighty and eternal God! With lively faith and reverently worshiping Thy divine Majesty, I prostrate myself before Thee and invoke with filial trust Thy supreme bounty and mercy. Illumine the darkness of my intellect with a ray of Thy heavenly light and inflame my heart with the fire of Thy divine love, that I may contemplate the great virtues and merits of Saint Joan in whose honor I make this novena, and following her example imitate, like her, the life of Thy divine Son.

Moreover, I beseech Thee to grant graciously, through the merits and intercession of this powerful Helper, the petition which through her I humbly place before Thee, devoutly saving, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven". Vouchsafe graciously to hear it, if it redounds to Thy greater glory and to the salvation of my soul. Amen.

Prayer in Honor of St. Joan of Arc
O God, who didst grant to Saint Joan strength and constancy in the various torments which she sustained for our holy faith; we beseech Thee to preserve, through her intercession, our faith from wavering and doubt, so that we may serve Thee with a sincere heart faithfully unto death. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Invocation of St. Joan of Arc
Faithful servant of God and invincible martyr, Saint Joan; favored by God with the gift of faith, and inflamed with an ardent love of Christ, thou didst fight valiantly against the darkness of pride, falsehood, and deceit. Neither pain nor torture, flames nor death could part thee from the love of Christ. I fervently implore thee for the sake of this love to help me by thy intercession to overcome the temptations that surround me, and to bear bravely the trials that oppress me, so that I may patiently carry the cross which is placed upon me; and let neither distress nor difficulties separate me from the love of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Valiant champion of the Faith, assist me in the combat against evil, that I may win the crown promised to them that persevere unto the end.

Prayer (Say this prayer to open each day.)
My Lord and my God! I offer up to Thee my petition in union with the bitter passion and death of Jesus Christ, Thy Son, together with the merits of His immaculate and blessed Mother, Mary ever virgin, and of all the saints, particularly with those of the holy Helper in whose honor I make this novena.

Look down upon me, merciful Lord! Grant me Thy grace and Thy love, and graciously hear my prayer. Amen.

Concluding Prayers:

Beloved Saint Joan you whose faith was so steadfast and lover of the Eucharist. Apostle and Prophet of God armed only with your faith went forth and changed hearts and by your own example inspired others to faith and saved a country and remote generations from ruin. I pray that you will petition God to grant the intention of this Novena if it be his Holy Will for me. I pray that he also grant that through your patronage and his Grace I may grow in Faith to emulate your life in all I do. You who died a Martyrs death exclaiming the name of your savior Jesus Christ to the last. It is my heartfelt prayer that I wil do the same no matter what the circumstance of my final hour may be. Amen

O dearest Saint, whom I have truly come to admire, love and respect; please help me and anyone saying this Novena from this day forth to grow daily in grace and in the practice of genuine Christian virtue. In imitation of thee, pray and intercede for us therefore that we may live a pure and chaste life, while living in this world, and grow more deeply in the Faith as well as increase the knowledge of it so as to never lose the sincere appreciation of "this pearl of great price." Pray for us too that our hope for the attainment of heaven - our true home - as well as the desire for the pursuit of personal holiness - which is the key to it - may never wane during our pilgrimage in this valley of tears. Amen
