Continue praying the Novena Against Evil to seek protection and triumph over evil.
Today's Focus: Virtue of Hope
On this seventh day, we pray for growth in the virtue of hope.
Prayer for Day 7
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Dear Lord, we thank You for Your many blessings and the protections you offer us. We humbly ask You today to bring about the ultimate defeat of evil in the world.
At times, the battle against evil can be very discouraging for us. It can seem that the devil is winning souls and that evil is running rampant in the world. As we continue to fight against evil even when we feel discouraged, we are in great need of hope for Your final victory over evil.
Please bring about the triumph of Your goodness over all evil. And we particularly ask today that You help us and all people to grow in the virtue of hope.
Help us to never become discouraged in the battle for souls. Give us the grace to rely on You for all that we need, even when we face great difficulties.
And we especially ask in this novena for (mention your intentions here).
Lord, hear our prayers!
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
