Novena to the 13 Blessed Souls (Jesus & His 12 Apostles) Please Note: The first line of the Novena appears two times because it is supposed to be read twice. Oh my 13 Blessed souls so wise and understanding, I ask you for the Love of God that my request be answered. Oh my 13 Blessed souls so wise and understanding, I ask you for the Love of God that my request be answered. Of you I ask for the sake of the blood that Jesus shed that my request be answered. My Lord Jesus Christ that your protection wrap me with your arms. Guard me with your eyes. O God of kindness you have been my defender in life and death. I ask that you free me from the difficulties that torment me. My 13 blessed souls so wise and understanding having received the grace I seek from you (state your request) I will be devoted to you. Say 13 Our Father's and 13 Hail Mary's for 13 consecutive days. Publish this prayer, share it with a friend and give a Mass of Thanksgiving.
