Prier St Joseph pour le Canada Saint Joseph Novena for Canada

A novena is an act of devotion often consisting of private or public prayers repeated for nine successive days to obtain special intercessory graces.


Novena to Saint Joseph for Canada

Glorious St. Joseph, foster-father and protector of Jesus Christ! To you I raise my heart and my hands to implore your powerful intercession. Please obtain for me from the kind Heart of Jesus the help and the graces necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare. I ask particularly for the grace of a happy death and the special favour I now implore:

that our legislators at the national and provincial levels will protect life, especially that of the most vulnerable, and that they will respect the right of medical professionals to refuse to take part in assisted-dying.

Guardian of the Word Incarnate, I feel animated with confidence that your prayers on my behalf will be graciously heard before the throne of God.

 V. O glorious St. Joseph, through the love you bear to Jesus Christ, and for the glory of His Name.

 R. Hear my prayers and obtain my petitions. Amen.

 Our Father. Hail Mary. Glory be.

St. Joseph, pray for us.

Neuvaine à St Joseph pour le Canada


O glorieux saint Joseph, vous dont la puissance sait rendre possibles les choses impossibles, venez à notre aide dans l'embarras et la détresse où nous nous trouvons; prenez sous votre protection les affaires importantes et difficiles que nous vous recommandons afin qu'elles aient une heureuse issue:

que nos législateurs aux niveaux nationaux et provinciaux, protègent la vie, particulièrement celle des personnes les plus vulnérables et qu'ils respectent le droit des professionnels de la santé de refuser de prendre part au suicide assisté.

O notre bien-aimé Père, toute notre confiance est en vous; qu'il ne soit pas dit que nous vous ayons invoqué en vain; et, puisque vous pouvez tout  auprès de Jésus et de Marie, montrez que votre bonté égale votre pouvoir.

Amen.

Notre Père. Je vous salue. Gloire au Père.

St Joseph, priez pour nous.

  1. A prayer and novena to St. Joseph is a powerful action. However, no amount of prayer will relieve Bishops of their responsibilities to ensure Catholic politicians, as well as all public officials, act in full accord with Catholic teaching and, when required, are disciplined according to the demands of canon law, specifically Canon 915, in order to redress scandal, protect the Eucharist from sacrilege, and call the sinner to repentance for the good of his/her soul. Prayer is essential but if we are given a task we must not ask God to do it for us.
