\n\"Abate<\/a>
\nDom Pietro Vitorelli, Abbot of Monte Cassino<\/strong>
\nLast June I learned of the serious illness of the young and gifted Abbot of Monte Cassino, 51 year old Dom Pietro Vitorelli. Nothing could be more fitting, it seems to me, than to seek the intercession of another Benedictine Abbot, Blessed Columba Marmion, to obtain Abbot Pietro’s complete restoration to health. The liturgical feast of Blessed Abbot Marmion is October 3rd. Beginning today, please join with me in making this novena. If you leave a comment indicating that you too are praying for Abbot Pietro, I will be sure to let him know that prayers are rising heavenward from all over the globe on his behalf.
\nFeel free to post this novena on your own blogs and sites and to diffuse it widely among Catholics the world over, who treasure the spiritual patrimony of Monte Cassino and desire to see its Father Abbot strong and healthy again.
\nNovena to Blessed Abbot Columba Marmion, O.S.B.<\/strong>
\nO Holy Spirit, Love of the Father and the Son,
\nestablish Thyself as a furnace of love in the centre of our hearts
\nand bear constantly upwards, like eager flames,
\nour thoughts, our affections, and our actions
\neven to the bosom of the Father.
\nV. Pray for us, Blessed Columba Marmion.
\nR. That our lives may be hid with Christ in God.
\nLet us pray.
\nO God, Almighty Father,
\nwho, having called the blessed abbot Columba
\nto the priesthood and to the monastic way of life,
\nwonderfully opened to him the secrets of the mysteries of Christ,
\ngrant, in Thy goodness,
\nthat, strengthened by his teachings
\nin the spirit of our adoption as Thy sons,
\nwe may pray to Thee with a boundless confidence,
\nand so obtain, through his intercession,
\nthe full restoration to health of Dom Pietro Vittorelli,
\nAbbot of Monte Cassino.
\nWe ask this grace for the joy of Thy Church,
\nfor the consolation of the community of Monte Cassino,
\nand for the praise of Thy glory,
\nthrough our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son,
\nwho liveth and reigneth with Thee,
\nin the unity of the Holy Spirit,
\none God forever and ever.
\nR. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
