Novena to Saint Peter Damian: 15–23 February
13 February 2026
That children’s innocence be protected;
That parents may gain the knowledge and courage to protect their children from evil;
That “relationships and sex education” threatening children’s innocence be completely removed from Catholic schools, and from all schools.
Thy soul was inflamed for the zeal of God’s house, O Holy Peter! God gave thee to His Church in those sad times when the wickedness of the world had robbed Her of well-nigh all Her beauty. Thou hadst the spirit of an Elias within thee, and it gave thee courage to waken the servants of the Lord. Thou wast not only an apostle, thou wast moreover a model, of penance in the midst of a corrupt age; pray for us, that we may be eager to atone for our sins by works of mortification. Excite within our souls the remembrance of the sufferings of our Redeemer, that so His Passion may urge us to repentance and hope. Increase our confidence in Mary, the Refuge of Sinners, and make us, like thyself, full of filial affection towards Her, and of zeal so that She may be honoured and loved by those who are around us.
Our Father
Hail Mary
Glory Be
St Peter Damian, pray for us
