NOVENA TO SAINT JOHN BOSCO

EIGHTH DAY - JANUARY 29

FOR PURITY

Saint John Bosco, by God’s grace you preserved within yourself an overwhelming love for purity and preached it by word and example. You led St Dominic Savio to holiness while he was still a schoolboy. Obtain for me the grace to be pure of heart and so through my own way of life let others see the joy of life in friendship with Christ. 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.

Let us pray...

God our Father, it was your will that through the intercession of the virgin Mary, Saint John Bosco should raise up new families in the Church who would work for the salvation of young people; Grant, we pray you, that we too, burning with the same fire of love, may seek Souls and serve you alone. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
