Novena To the Holy Curè of Ars: St. Jean Marie Baptiste Vianney: July 31: Day One: An Ardent Faith.
.
V. Saint John Marie Baptist Vianney, O Holy Priest of Ars,
R. Thou wast born of a deeply religious mother; from her thou received the Holy Faith; thou learned to love God and to pray. At a young age, thou wast seen kneeling in the front of the statue of Mary. Thy soul was supernaturally carried towards the things on High. Despite the high cost, thou answered thy
vocation! Against many obstacles and contradictions, thou hadst to fight and suffer to become the perfect priest which thou wast. But thy deep spirit of faith supported thee in all these battles. O Great Saint, thou knowest the desire of my soul; I would like to serve God better; from Him I have received so many good things. For this, obtain for me more courage and especially the depth of faith. Many of my thoughts, words, and actions are useless for my sanctification and for my salvation, because this supernatural spirit does not stir up my life. Help me to be better in the future. Holy Priest of Ars, I have confidence in thy intercession.
