Commemoration of Januarius
On the ever-occuring Januarius miracle : https://www.miraclesofthechurch.com/2010/10/blood-miracle-of-st-januarius-gennaro.html
Oh Gennaro, brave of faith in Jesus Christ, glorious patron of Catholic Naples, look upon us benignly and accepts our vows, that today we lie at your feet with total confidence in your powerful patronage.
How many times have you run to help your fellow citizens, now stopping in the path of the destructive lava of Vesuvius, and now saving them from plague, earthquakes, famine and many other divine punishments that terrify them.
The perpetual miracle of the liquefaction of your blood is a sure and extremely eloquent sign that you live among us, that you know our needs and that you protect us in a singular way.
Oh, we pray you to pray for us, sure that we will be answered; and saved from all the evils that oppress us from all directions.
Save us from unbelief, and you will see that the faith, by which you have generously sacrificed your life, always, always produces fertile fruits of saints made among us.
Amen
Thank you! 69 people prayed
