Saint Peter the Apostle
Patron Saint of Fishermen
Novena to St. Peter
O Holy Apostle, because you are the rock upon which almighty God has build his church; obtain for me I pray you, lively faith, firm hope and
burning love; complete detachment from myself, contempt of the world, patience in adversity, humility in prosperity, recollection in prayer,
purity of heart, a right intention in all my works, diligence in fulfilling the duties of my state of life, constancy in my resolutions, resignation to
the will of God and perseverance in the grace of God even unto death; that so, by means of year intercession and your glorious merits, I may be
made worthy to appear before the chief and eternal Shepherd of souls, Jesus Christ, Who with the Father and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns
for ever. Amen.
