Repeat the following Novena prayers every day for 9 consecutive days.

Great Saint Philip Neri,
you who did prefer a life of poverty and obscurity
to one of ease and comfort
which was yours by inheritance,
obtain for me the grace of never attaching my heart
to the fleeting goods of this life.
For you who did desire to become so poor
as to be reduced to beggary
and not to find anyone willing to give you
even the barest means of livelihood,
obtain for me also a love of poverty,
so that I may turn all my thoughts
to the things that are eternal.
You who did wish to live in a lowly station
rather than to be advanced to the highest dignities of the Church,
intercede for me that I may never seek after honors,
but may be content with that station in life
in which it has pleased Our Lord to place me.
My heart is too much preoccupied with the vain
and passing things of earth;
but you who did ever inculcate this great maxim: 'And then?',
which brought about so many wonderful conversions,
obtain for me that this saying
may ever remain so firmly fixed in my mind
that I may despise the nothingness of this world,
and may make God the only object
of my affections and my thoughts.

Amen.
