Novena to St. Andrew Bobola for the intention of the nation

A novena to St. Andrew Bobola is being held for the intention of the nation. The daily intentions include a missionary spirit in the Church, faithfulness to Christ, the grace of living faith, and the strengthening of the spirit of Christ in the Church.

Other petitions focus on true piety, living according to the faith, and support for priests and consecrated persons. The prayers also request intentions for rulers and all classes, life in God's grace, and the gift of grace for every soul.

The prayers include an introductory prayer to imitate the courageous faith and service of St. Andrew Bobola.
