St. John the Apostle Novena is a nine-day devotion dedicated to St. John the Apostle, one of Jesus' closest disciples. It provides a way to focus on praying to St. John and seeking his intercession with God for specific needs or intentions.

St. John is venerated for his unique closeness to Jesus. He was the youngest disciple, known for his love and purity. He witnessed many key events in Jesus' life, including the Last Supper, Crucifixion, and Resurrection. He's also credited with writing the Gospel of John and several letters in the New Testament.

Remember, the most important aspect of the novena is your personal intention and commitment to prayer. Approach it with a sincere heart and open yourself to God's grace through the intercession of St. John the Apostle.

St. John the Apostle Novena

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

O glorious Apostle, who, on account of thy virginal purity, wast so beloved by Jesus as to deserve to lay thy head upon His divine breast, and to be left, in His place, as son to His most holy Mother:

I beg thee to inflame me with a most ardent love toward Jesus and Mary.

Obtain for me from our Lord that I, too, with a heart purified from earthly afflictions, may be made worthy to be ever united to Jesus as a faithful disciple, and to Mary as a devoted son, both here on earth and eternally in heaven.

(Mention your request here.)

Our Father

Hail Mary

Glory Be

St John the Apostle, pray for us.

Amen.
