Novena To St. Genesius of Rome (August 16 – August 25)

Prayer to St Genesius

Holy St Genesius,
martyr for Christ,
by the grace of the Holy Spirit
through your acting you came to discover
the truth of the Christian faith.
In your first profession of that faith
you were baptized through the shedding of your blood,
offering your life for the praise and glory
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Pray for those who dedicate their lives
to the theatrical and cinematic arts.
Like you may they find the presence
of the Lord in their work
and generously open their hearts to His teaching,
living it in the midst of the challenges
and demands of their calling.
In this novena, I remember most especially…
[commending him/her to your care…]

Let us pray:

Eternal Father,
in Your love You call all men and women to come to know You
and to share in Your divine life.
Through the intercession of Your martyr, Genesius,
who responded so generously to the grace of conversion,
grant that the same grace may be given
to those who as yet do not know You,
and may be renewed in those who do.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Prayer for Healing through the intercession of St Genesius

Lord Jesus,
You took pity on the blind Bartimaeus and healed him;
You raised Lazarus from the dead
and freed Mary Magdalen from seven devils
to count her among your disciples.
You made the blind see, the deaf hear,
the dumb speak, the lame walk,
You cleansed lepers and cast out demons.
You preached the Good News to the poor
and bless those who are faithful to You.
Through the intercession of Your faithful martyr, Genesius,
grant Your healing and consolation to the sick.
Give them the strength to carry their Cross
in union with You.
(We remember in particular _________.)
Help us to remain faithful to You in health
and in suffering, conformed to Your Cross;
open our hearts to Your will
so your grace may transform our lives.
