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

Admirable Saint Rose,
you were truly a sweet flower blooming on a rugged soil;
you were indeed a rose among thorns,
bearing, with meekness and patience,
the stings of envious tongues,
while preserving perfect purity and modesty
amid the alluring blandishments of a deceitful world.

To the sufferings inflicted on you by others,St-Rose-of-Lima
you added the voluntary tortures
of fasting and watching, of a crown of thorns
and of a hair shirt, to subdue the flesh
and to make yourself like your heavenly Spouse.

By the merits you gained with your Divine Bridegroom,
obtain for me the grace to bear my afflictions with patience,
to remain pure and modest,
to be meek and humble,
to be faithful to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit,
and so to mortify my passions
that I may be ever more pleasing
and acceptable in the sight of my dear Lord and Saviour,
Jesus Christ, Who lives and reigns world without end.

Amen.

St Rose of Lima,
Pray for Us.
