Day 9 – St. Francis of Assisi Novena for the Discerning Heart with Msgr. John Esseff
Day 9: Detachment
St. Francis, you understood that to follow Christ perfectly, one must be detached from all that is not God. You surrendered not only your material possessions, but even your own will, seeking only to do the will of the Father. In your complete detachment from worldly desires, you found true freedom in Christ. You remind us that we are pilgrims on this earth and that our true home is in Heaven.
Let us pray:
Holy St. Francis, help me to detach from the things of world that separate me from God. Teach me to surrender my will to the will of the Father, trusting in His divine plan for my life. May I seek not my own desires but strive always to do what pleases the Lord. Through your intercession, may I grow in detachment from worldly distractions and attachments, keeping my eyes fixed on the eternal joys of Heaven, where Christ reigns forever.
Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory Be…
St. Francis, pray for us.
