the grace of living and dying in God's friendship, missionary zeal, and one particular favour asked in submission to God's will
The Novena of Grace (Saint Francis Xavier)
Nine days of prayer to the great missionary of the Indies and Japan, kept from 4 to 12 March. The received prayer adores the Divine Majesty in union with the saint, rejoices in the graces God gave him, and asks through his intercession for the blessing of living and dying in the state of grace before it asks for anything else.
