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

Opening Prayer

Come, Holy Spirit, enlighten our minds.
Guide us and guard us as we seek the path of Truth.
Form our consciences according to your Truth.
Grant us courage to follow this Way of Truth
in all seasons regardless of cost.
We ask this in the name of Jesus
who sacrificed Himself for love of us.

Amen.

Prayers

O Lord, we beseech thee favorably to hear the prayers of thy people:
that, as we do rejoice in the passion
of thy blessed Pontiff and Martyr Marcellus,
so his merits may be our succor and defense.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God,
for ever and ever.

We pray today, Lord,
that there will always be defenders of the truth in Your Church,
ready to restore where Satan has demolished.
We thank you for Pope St. Marcellus
and his work within the Church,
and all his successors who have stood firm
in the face of adversity.

Amen.

Closing Prayer

St. Marcellus, in obedience to your conscience,
you laid down your life to be faithful to Christ
and to His Way of Peace.
Through your intercession and example,
may all Christians come to know and practice the self-sacrificial,
nonviolent love of Jesus toward all people.
We ask this in the name of Jesus,
the Lamb of God.

Amen.
