Please join the Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions in celebrating the feast day of St. Kateri Tekakwitha on July 14th, patroness of the environment and ecology by joining us with your participation in this Novena.
Kateri, favored child and Lily of the Mohawks,
I come to seek your intercession in my present need:
(State your intention here…)
I admire the virtues which adorned your soul:
love of God and neighbor,
humility, obedience, patience,
purity and the spirit of sacrifice.
Help me to imitate your example in my state of life.
Through the goodness and mercy of God,
Who has blessed you with so many graces
which led you to the true faith
and to a high degree of holiness,
pray to God for me and help me.
Obtain for me a very fervent devotion to the Holy Eucharist
so that I may love Holy Mass as you did
and receive Holy Communion as often as I can.
Teach me also to be devoted
to my crucified Savior as you were,
that I may cheerfully bear my daily crosses
for love of Him Who suffered so much for love of me.
Most of all I beg you to pray for me
that I may avoid sin,
lead a holy life and save my soul.
A M E N.
In Thanksgiving to God for the graces bestowed upon Kateri:
(Recite the following prayers…)
Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory Be… (3 times).
