Make room for grace

Prepare your heart
In the days leading up to the 22nd, make extra time for prayer. Pray the Rosary daily—a powerful spiritual weapon that draws us toward Christ. Begin with an Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be, or follow the Saint Charbel novena.
Offer your intention
Pause and name your intention silently before God. Then pray for everyone joining this devotion, including those whose needs are known only to Him. Your intention stays between you and God.
Remain close. Return with thanks.
Be attentive to God’s grace in daily life, with patience and discernment. Trust His timing. When you receive a blessing or believe you have received a miracle, thank God and Saint Sharbel for his intercession. Let gratitude lead you to Mass, faithful prayer, and acts of love.

Pause. Breathe. Pray.

A prayer of intercession

Lord Jesus Christ, I come before You with faith and hope. Through the intercession of Saint Sharbel, receive the intention I hold in my heart.

Take a quiet moment for your intention.

I also place before You the intentions of everyone praying with us. Comfort the suffering, strengthen the weary, bring peace to families, and draw us all closer to You.

Saint Sharbel, pray for us. Teach us to trust in God’s will and timing, to recognize His grace, and to live with grateful hearts. May every blessing lead us to love Christ more deeply and serve our neighbor more generously. Amen.
