Day Seven: Saint Charbel and holiness

Main post image

When someone requested his prayers, he used to reply: "You too can pray. What's the difference between you and me? God will listen to both of us equally."

To the man praising his holiness, he would answer: "We are alike. What prevents you from being holy?"

Saint Charbel, help us and our volunteers walk the path of holiness. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Prayer of the novena

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."

Thank you! 44 people prayed

Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone. Col 4:6
