and gain comfort from his patient endurance.
Amen. (Mention your intentions here)

Note: I finished this Novena which I had been praying for someone, last week. My friend Dottie gave me the Novena booklet. I highly recommend you obtaining it because it is filled with testimonials of Father Seelos' life and holiness as well as prayers.
My wife has recently translated this into German.She prays the Novena every day.
