Pray novena for nine consecutive days, June 21st — June 29th, in preparation of the Feast of Blessed Gennaro Maria Sarnelli on June 30th.*
O God, in Blessed Gennaro you gave us an outstanding example of compassion and service to the poor. We humbly ask you that, by imitating him and by the help of his prayers, we may believe more fully in your healing presence, bear the suffering of sickness in this life without wavering, and come with joy to the peace of heaven. We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
