Saint Martha's Prayer
O GLORIOUS SAINT MARTHA, I CONFIDENTLY ENDOW MYSELF INTO YOUR HANDS, WAITING FOR YOUR SUPPORT. TAKE ME UNDER YOUR PROTECTION, CONSOLATE ME IN MY SUFFERINGS. IN PROOF OF MY AFFECTION AND DEVOTION, I OFFER YOU THIS LIGHT (LIGHT A CANDLE), I WILL LIGHT IT EVERY TUESDAY OF THIS NOVENA.
FOR THE HAPPINESS YOU HAD IN HOSTING IN YOUR HOME THE DIVINE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD, CONSOLATE ME IN MY FEELS. INTERCEDATE TODAY AND ALWAYS FOR ME AND MY FAMILY, SO THAT WE MAY HAVE THE HELP OF ALMIGHTY GOD IN THE DIFFICULTIES OF OUR LIFE.
I BEG YOU, GLORIOUS SAINT, THAT IN YOUR GREAT KINDNESS, YOU SPECIALLY ACHIEVE ME THE GRACE THAT I ARDENTLY ASK OF YOU AND THAT I SO NEED (REQUEST).
I BEG YOU TO HELP ME TO OVERCOME ALL THE OBSTACLES THAT PRESENT IN MY WAY, WITH THE SAME SINCERITY AND FORTRESS THAT YOU HAD WHEN PASSING THE DRAGON THAT YOU HAVE AT YOUR FEET.
AMEN"
