St John Neumann Prayer 1
My Jesus,
Banish the demon of despair! My devotion has vanished, my tears are dried up, thoughts of my angel and of my patron no longer soothe my troubled soul! Even Thy remembrance, my Savior, and that of Thy Blessed Mother, grow dim before my mental gaze. O Jesus, do not forsake me! Help me! Help me! I am resolved not to omit a single one of my devotions.
Amen.

O my Jesus,
I am poor ignorant young man, have become a shepherd in Thy sheepfold … Grant that not one of those confided to me be lost … Teach me to live, and, if needs be, to die for my people that they all may be saved, that they all may love Thy dear Mother.
Amen.

O Saint John Neumann,
Your ardent desire of bringing all souls to Christ impelled you to leave home and country; teach us to live worthily in the spirit of our Baptism which makes us all children of the one Heavenly Father and brothers of Jesus Christ, the first-born of the family of God.Obtain for us that complete dedication in the service of the needy, the weak, the afflicted and the abandoned which so characterized your life. Help us to walk perseveringly in the difficult and, at times, painful paths of duty, strengthened by the Body and Blood of our Redeemer and under the watchful protection of Mary our Mother.May death still find us on the sure road to our Father’s house with the light of living Faith in our hearts.
Amen.
