Miraculous Novena of Grace To St. Francis Xavier

This miraculous novena of grace was revealed by Saint Francis Xavier himself. The co-founder of the Jesuits, St. Francis Xavier is known as the Apostle of the East for his missionary activities in India and other Eastern countries.

The story of the miraculous novena of grace
In 1633, 81 years after his death, San Francesco appeared on p. Marcello Mastrilli, a member of the Jesuit order who was close to death. St. Francis revealed a promise to Father Marcello: “All those who plead for my help every day for nine consecutive days, from 4 to 12 March inclusive, and worthily receive the Sacraments of Penance and the Holy Eucharist in one of the nine days, will experience my protection and can hope with absolute certainty to obtain from God every grace they ask for the good of their souls and the glory of God. "

Father Marcello was healed and continued to spread this devotion, which is also commonly prayed in preparation for the feast of San Francesco Saverio (December 3). Like all novenas, it can be prayed at any time of the year.

Miraculous Novena of grace to Saint Francis Xavier
O Saint Francis Xavier, beloved and full of charity, in union with you, I reverently adore the Majesty of God; and since I rejoice in an extraordinary joy for the singular gifts of grace that have been granted to you during your life and for your gifts of glory after death, I thank you from my heart; I beg you with all the devotion of my heart to be happy to obtain for me, with your effective intercession, above all the grace of a holy life and a happy death. Also, please get it for me [mention your request]. But if what I ask you so seriously does not tend to the glory of God and the greater good of my soul, please obtain for me what is most profitable for both of these purposes. Amen.
Our Father, Ave Maria, Gloria
