Saint Kateri Tekakwitha Novena Day One

Day One (July 5)

Love of Jesus


In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.


Saint Kateri, the seeds of faith planted in your heart by your mother began to blossom when you heard faithful missionaries preach in the name of Jesus. From the moment you heard the name of Jesus, you grew in your love of him. Your one desire was to know and serve him as you accepted baptism, received the Body and Blood of Jesus in the Eucharist, and served others in his name. Indeed, the last words you spoke before you passed from this life were: “Jesus, I love you.”


Through your example and intercession, help me to grow in my love of Jesus so that I can devote my life to Him more fully and love others in his holy name.


Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, Beautiful Flower among True Men, Servant of Jesus Christ and devoted Daughter of the Church, I seek your intercession in my present need: “To have the strength and courage to say “I love you” to those who with their outward actions and even at times with their words, that say they do not love me, or my relatives simply because of my heritage. During these times of unlove, help me to remember and imitate our Lord's words given from the cross, “Father forgive them for they do not know what they do.””


I ask this in the name of Jesus, the Lord. Amen.


Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.


Hail Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.


Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.

Amen.


St. Kateri, pray for us!


In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
