Novena to be faithful to our Promise

Lord Jesus,
Teach us to be generous,
To serve You as You deserve,
To give without stinting,
To fight without care of injuries,
To work without looking for any rest,
To spend ourselves without expecting any reward
Except to know that we fulfil Your holy will.

(Saint Ignatius of Loyola)

Novena to Saint Charbel - At the service of others

God infinitely Holy and glorified in your saints, who inspired the monk and hermit St. Charbel to live and die in a perfect likeness to Jesus, giving him the strength to detach from the world in order to live fully, in his hermitage, the monastic virtues of poverty, obedience and chastity, we beg you to grant us the grace to love you and serve you as he did. 
Lord Almighty, who has demonstrated the power of the intercession of St. Charbel by many miracles and favors, grant our volunteers the grace of living a beautiful mission and returning home firm in faith, filled with fiery charity. We beseech you by his intercession. Amen.

1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary, 1 Glory be, followed by the invocation "St. Charbel, pray for us."
