The Saint Christopher Novena

Day 7: Charity in service

The seventh day attends to the broader Catholic vocation of charity in service to others.

To serve

The Christian life is a life of service: to family, to neighbor, to the wider Catholic community, to those in need. Saint Christopher's life of carrying strangers is the icon of this service.

Prayer

Saint Christopher, increase in me the love that serves. Let me carry the burdens of those around me as you carried strangers across the river. Amen.

Conclude with one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
