St. Peter, the Apostle

Novena to St. Peterr

Novena: Day 6

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

St. Peter, you had such zeal to run to Jesus during your life on Earth, which is why I am confident that you will run to Him now with my intentions:

(add your intentions)

St. Peter, when Jesus told you and your brother to follow Him and become fishers of men, you dropped your nets at once and followed Him. Such was your zeal. Intercede on my behalf that I may follow Jesus promptly when He calls.

St. Peter, when Jesus asked you if you loved Him with an “agape” (unconditional) love, knowing how you had denied Him, you responded that you loved Him with a “philia” (brotherly) love. Such was your humility. Intercede on my behalf that I may be honest with myself and with Jesus about how much I love Him, so that I may grow in love.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 1
