Patron saint of Ireland and Scotland, the city of Derry, poets, scribes and bookbinders, schools and scholars, and those seeking deliverance from intemperance
St. Columba Novena
St. Columba (521-597), called Colum Cille, the dove of the church, was born of royal blood in Donegal and might have been High King of Ireland. He chose the monastery instead, founded Derry, Durrow and Kells, and copied books with his own hand. After a quarrel over a copied psalter ended in a battle, he sailed from Ireland with twelve companions to the little island of Iona, vowing to win more souls for Christ than had fallen in that fight. From Iona he converted the Picts and made the island the lamp of the northern world. Pray this novena for Ireland and Scotland, for schools and scholars, for deliverance from intemperance, and for the favor you most need.

O Glorious St. Columba, in remembrance of the love you bore your native land in the golden days, when you declared your spirit would always be with us, we beg of you to intercede for us that we may worthily imitate your virtues, especially your great devotion to the Blessed Sacrament.

O Glorious St. Columba, in remembrance of the love you bore your native land in the golden days, when you declared your spirit would always be with us, we beg of you to intercede for us that we may worthily imitate your virtues, especially your great devotion to the Blessed Sacrament.
Turn to Jesus on the altar, and never cease to pray for us until the fire of Divine Love burns brightly and steadfastly in every Irish heart. Obtain for our rulers and for all, the true spirit of charity.
Let not your interest in the schools of Ireland be less than it was formerly. Bless the labours of those who work in them, that the land you loved so well on earth may become again the “Isle of Saints and Scholars”.
We invoke your powerful intercession against the dread evils of intemperance and for the preservation of the faith and virtue of the Irish people. Pray for us now and always, that faithfully fulfilling the duties of our state, we may love Jesus and Mary with our whole hearts, and thus prove worthy of your love and protection.
Amen.
And now, dear St. Columba, we place in your hands the particular favor we ask through your intercession.
(mention request here…)
Obtain this for us, if it be according to the will of God and for the good of our souls.
Amen.
