Venerable Patrick Peyton Novena
Venerable Patrick Peyton (1909-1992) left County Mayo at nineteen and swept floors in a Scranton cathedral before entering the Congregation of Holy Cross. Dying of tuberculosis as a seminarian, he was cured after praying to Our Lady, and promised to spend his life telling families of her love. He founded the Family Rosary Crusade, drew crowds of two million to rosary rallies, enlisted Hollywood for his radio and film work, and gave the world the words, the family that prays together stays together. Pope Francis declared him Venerable in 2017. Pray this novena for your family, for the daily Rosary in your home, for his beatification, and for the favor you most need.

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Prayer for the Beatification of Venerable Patrick Peyton
Dear Jesus, Father Peyton devoted his priestly life to strengthening the families of the world by calling them to pray together every day, especially the Rosary. His message is as important for us now as it was during his life on earth.
We beg you, therefore, to hasten the day of his Beatification, so that your faithful people everywhere will remember his message that the family that prays together stays together, will imitate him in his devotion to your Mother and ours, and will be inspired by his holy life to draw ever closer to you with childlike confidence and love. Amen.
Venerable Father Peyton, you were a poor boy from Mayo who learned the Rosary on your father’s kitchen floor, and when you were dying you asked Our Lady for your life and she gave it back to you. You kept your side of the bargain for fifty years and put the beads into the hands of millions.
Obtain for our household the grace to pray together and not only apart. Heal what is divided among us, give patience to parents and openness to children, and keep our home under the protection of the Mother of God.
And now, dear Father Peyton, 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, and obtain for us above all a childlike confidence in Our Lady, and the perseverance to take up the Rosary every day.
Amen.
O God, who gave your servant Patrick Peyton a boundless love for the Mother of your Son and a burning zeal for the holiness of families, grant, we pray, that through his intercession our homes may become places of prayer, and that he may soon be numbered among the Blessed of your Church. Through Christ our Lord.
