Pray the Novena with Sister Jean leading up to the anniversary of the canonization of Saint Marianne - Oct 13-21. Day Eight: Gratitude. Glory to you, Word of God, Lord Jesus Christ. You called your servant, Saint Marianne, to her heavenly reward. Awaken in us the ways that we can help those who are suffering and teach us to be grateful for having the opportunity to serve others. May all who die this day experience the fullness of life, and may we, too, one day share that life together with Saint Marianne. Through the intercession of Saint Marianne, I ask that the petition of this novena be granted in the name of Christ, our Lord. Amen. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be Saint Marianne, intercede for us
