Repeat the following Novena prayers every day for 9 consecutive days.
By delivering your people from the yoke of the infidel,
You, O St. Ferdinand, did imitate our Risen Jesus,
Who rescued us from death
and restored us to the life we had lost.
Your conquests were not like those of this world's conquerors,
who have no other aim
than to satisfy their own and their people's pride.
Your ambition was to deliver your people from an oppression
which had weighed heavily on them for long ages.
Your object was to save them from the danger of apostasy,
which they incurred by being under the Moorish yoke.
O Champion of Christ, it was for His dear sake
that you did lay siege to the Saracen cities!
His banner was yours;
and the first anxiety was to spread His Kingdom.
He, in return, blessed you in all your battles,
and made you ever victorious.

Amen.

Pray for your country (Spain), O saintly King!
False doctrines and treacherous influences
are now rife in her,
and nearly all of her children have been led astray.
You are still her beloved protector;
hasten, then, to her aid!

Amen.
