NOVENA FOR CORPUS CHRISTI
This novena prayer, although short is sufficient. It would be better
of course to add, if time permits, three Hail Marys or say five
times the Our Father, Haily Mary and Glory be to the Father, or
to use some of the many well-loved novena prayers from other sources.
Remember that prayers must be said with the lips in order to gain
the indulgences. For the novenas that precede the movable feasts,
it is necessary to begin nine days before the feast occurs.
O Lord Jesus Christ, You who have given us Your precious Body and
Blood to be our meat and drink, grant that through frequent reception
of You in the Holy Eucharist, I may be strengthened in mind and
body to do Your holy will. Amen.
Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, have mercy on us.
