390. Novena in Honour of the Saint

i. 300 Days, each day. ii. Plenary, within eight days of the completion. I, 11, 1v. (See Instructions, p. 1.) The following prayer must be said each day or Pater, Ave and Gloria five times. (N. B. —Twice a year only.) GREAT St Francis, well beloved and full of charity, with thee I reverently adore the divine Majesty; and since I specially rejoice in the singular gifts of grace, bestowed on thee in life, and of glory after death, I give thanks to Gop, and beg of thee, with all the affectionsof my heart, thatby thy power- ful intercession thou mayest obtain for me above all things the grace to live a holy life and die a holy death. Moreover, I beg of thee to obtain for me (here insert some special spiritual or temporal favour); but if what I ask does not tend to the glory of Gop and the greater good of my soul, do thou, I beseech thee, obtain for me what will more certainly attain these ends. Amen
