Hmmm…write my own? I definitely can’t find one for this saint. I think I might do that. I can’t find much about him at all, but came across him quite by accident (or not?)Yes, I would think tthat you can pray a novena to a very forgotten Saint. It is just like any other novena to an extremely popular Saint (like Mary or St. Francis). And if you can’t find a novena that you like or just can’t find one at all, I am sure that you can write your own.
When you take a look at a lot of the novenas, there is a definite pattern to them. Most start with a “Lord, have mercy” sequence. Then a salute to the Trinity with another request for mercy. Then, there may be an address to Our Lady (“pray for us”). The next section addresses the saint being invoked–his/her qualities, deeds, holy “nicknames”, etc. This is the bulk of the prayer. Each line usually ends with a “pray for us”, “we beseech thee, hear us” or another such phrase. Following this part is a “Lamb of God” sequence. Next, a refrain/response (“Pray for us, O Holy…” “That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.”) Finally, a “Let us Pray” closing prayer. So, really, once you’ve got the pattern down, writing your own novena shouldn’t be too hard. And, hey!, I’m a warrior always looking for another good novena!Yes, I would think tthat you can pray a novena to a very forgotten Saint.
