Charbel Makhlouf

Intercession

Pray with the heart

O great thaumaturge Saint Charbel
who spent his life in solitude
in a humble and hidden hermitage
renouncing the world and its vain pleasures
and now reign in the glory of the Saints,
in the splendor of the Holy Trinity
intercede for us.

Illuminate our minds and hearts
increase our faith
and strengthen our will.
Increase our love of God and neighbor.
Help us to do good and avoid evil.
Defend us from visible and invisible enemies
And succor us throughout our lives.

You who perform wonders for those who invoke you
And obtain the healing of countless evils
and the solution of problems without human hope
Look on us with pity and, if it is in accordance with the divine will
and our greater good, obtain from God the grace that we implore ...
but above all help us to imitate your holy and virtuous life.
Amen. Pater, Ave, Gloria
