Omnipotent and Eternal God, who crowned St Cajetan with abundant heavenly favours because of his trust and dependence on your Divine Providence and rejection of worldly things; graciously grant that we who beseech the help of your Providence may be helped in our necessities through his holy intercession.

We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen

Ninth Day


O Glorious St Cajetan, whose perfect chastity made you worthy to receive the Child Jesus from the arms of the Blessed Virgin and after death caused your body exuded a celestial perfume; grant that we may reject sin and temptation remembering that we are temples of the Holy Spirit and that we are made in the image of God. Amen

Concluding Daily Prayers

A Prayer Composed By St Cajetan

Look down, O Lord, from Thy sanctuary, from Thy dwelling in heaven on high, and behold this sacred Victim which our great High Priest, Thy Holy Son our Lord Jesus Christ, offers up to Thee for the sins of His brethren and be appeased despite the multitude of our transgressions. Behold, the voice of the Blood of Jesus, our Brother, cries to Thee from the cross. Give ear, O Lord. Be appeased, O Lord. Hearken and do not delay for Thine own sake, O my God; for Thy Name is invoked upon this city and upon Thy people and deal with us according to Thy mercy. Amen.

Most Holy Lord, protector of those who trust in you and without whom nothing good or holy exists; copiously shed your mercy upon us that following St Cajetan's example, we may use our worldly possessions in such a way that we do not lose sight of the eternal things of Heaven.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen

O Glorious St Cajetan, Father of Providence,

give us your miraculous assistance each and every day!
