Novena to Blessed Jeanne Jugan

August 30 will mark the Memorial of Blessed Jeanne Jugan, foundress of the Little Sisters of the Poor.  Today is the beginning of a novena in her honor.  Those who wish to make the novena can pray the following:

Jesus, you rejoiced and praised Your Father for having revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.  We thank You for the graces granted to Your humble servant, Jeanne Jugan, to whom we confide our petitions and needs.

Father of the Poor, You have never refused the prayer of the lowly.  We ask You, therefore, to hear the petitions she presents to You on our behalf.

Jesus, through Mary, Your Mother and ours, we ask this of You, who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit now and forever.

Amen.
