Triduum in honor of St Philip Benizi
Day 3

Philip, surrounded with brothers, was the vine of the Virgin planted in the vineyard of the Lord.

Psalm 112
Happy the man who fears the Lord,
who takes delight in all his commands.
His sons will be powerful on earth;
the children of the upright are blessed.

Riches and wealth are in his house;
his justice stands firm for ever.
He is a light in the darkness for the upright:
he is generous, merciful and just.

The good man takes pity and lends,
he conducts his affairs with honor.
The just man will never waver:
he will be remembered for ever.

He has no fear of evil news;
with a firm heart he trusts in the Lord.
With a steadfast heart he will not fear;
he will see the downfall of his foes.

Open-handed, he gives to the poor;
his justice stands firm for ever.
His head will be raised in glory.

The wicked man sees and is angry,
grinds his teeth and fades away;
the desire of the wicked leads to doom.

Invocation
We glorify you, Father and we thank you; in your goodness you have given us Saint Philip as a model in our service to the Blessed Virgin. We are her servants in constant reverence and confident prayer, in faithful love and total self-giving. We are servants like her in fulfilling your will and serving our brothers and sisters. We are servants with her in listening to the Word, praising your glory, proclaiming your salvation and standing near the cross of Christ. By your grace, Lord, Saint Philip was a disciple of the Seven First Fathers and learned to harmonize in his life authority and service, discipline and compassion, prayer and apostolate.

Through the intercession of Saint Philip, grant, Lord, that we may follow Christ your Son, witness to the Gospel and dedicate our lives to the coming of your Kingdom. Lord, may we be always open to the voice of your Spirit, and attentive to his presence, to be in our day instruments of his joy and peace.

Father may we always be inspired by the life of the Blessed Virgin, Our Lady, and offer her our service of love. To you, Father, source of all light, through Christ, the sun of justice, in the Spirit who renews all things, and glory and honor forever. Amen.

Triduum in honor of St Philip Benizi

Day 2
Like the radiant sun, Philip was a guiding light for the community of the Order of Friar Servants of Mary

Psalm 112
Happy the man who fears the Lord,
who takes delight in all his commands.
His sons will be powerful on earth;
the children of the upright are blessed.

Riches and wealth are in his house;
his justice stands firm for ever.
He is a light in the darkness for the upright:
he is generous, merciful and just.

The good man takes pity and lends,
he conducts his affairs with honor.
The just man will never waver:
he will be remembered for ever.

He has no fear of evil news;
with a firm heart he trusts in the Lord.
With a steadfast heart he will not fear;
he will see the downfall of his foes.

Open-handed, he gives to the poor;
his justice stands firm for ever.
His head will be raised in glory.

The wicked man sees and is angry,
grinds his teeth and fades away;
the desire of the wicked leads to doom.

Invocation
We bless you, Father, for you guide all men and women toward their true destiny and in your infinite love you sent us your Son Jesus Christ. He is the living rock from which living water flows, the grain of wheat that in dying bears much fruit, the bread of life that is broken and nourishes. We bless you, Father, because you gave us Saint Philip Benizi and made him a servant of life according to the image of your Son. He was a brother serving others, a father feeding his children, a friend to those in need.

Lord, through the intercession of Saint Philip grant that we may serve life with our words and with our deeds. Grant that we be compassionate, sensitive to the expectations of others, and unhesitating in our response to the needy.

Make us defenders of justice and agents of peace. Father, grant that we may serve life: at its innocent beginning and as it grows and flourishes; when it is wounded and oppressed, and as it passes from this world to enter in your glory. To you, Father, source of all light, through Christ, the sun of justice, in the Spirit who renews all things, and glory and honor forever. Amen.

Triduum in honor of St Philip Benizi

Day 1
The Lord shows his Servants the path of life and lasting happiness.

Psalm 112
Happy the man who fears the Lord,
who takes delight in all his commands.
His sons will be powerful on earth;
the children of the upright are blessed.

Riches and wealth are in his house;
his justice stands firm for ever.
He is a light in the darkness for the upright:
he is generous, merciful and just.

The good man takes pity and lends,
he conducts his affairs with honor.
The just man will never waver:
he will be remembered for ever.

He has no fear of evil news;
with a firm heart he trusts in the Lord.
With a steadfast heart he will not fear;
he will see the downfall of his foes.

Open-handed, he gives to the poor;
his justice stands firm for ever.
His head will be raised in glory.

The wicked man sees and is angry,
grinds his teeth and fades away;
the desire of the wicked leads to doom.

Invocation:
Blessed are you, Lord, God of glory: in your loving plan you have the family of Servants the brilliant light of Saint Philip Benizi. In his humility the servant of your handmaid sought to conceal this light but you who raise up the lowly wonderfully revealed it. His was a light of knowledge and understanding in the study of sacred doctrine; of wisdom and prudence in the direction of the Order entrusted to his care; of sanctity and grace in the service of others.
Through the intercession of Saint Philip, grant us, Father, love for your Word, which enlightens us on our journey through life. Grant us, Lord, genuine faith, confident hope, and resplendent love. Lord, watch over the family of the Servants of Mary; may it walk in the light of Christ and fulfill its mission of service and witness to Christian community.

To you, Father, source of all light, through Christ, the sun of justice, in the Spirit who renews all things, and glory and honor forever. Amen.

Prayer of a Sick Person

O Jesus Savior, who in your crucified body bore the sorrows of the world, I come to you, with my sick body and my restless soul. I come to you just as St. Peregrine came to you with his wounded leg. With him and like him I implore you: "Jesus, Son of David, who healed the l***r and gave sight to the blind, have mercy on me." You know my need, you see my suffering, but I say to you with faith: "Lord, if you wish, you can heal me."

Extend your hand over me just as you stretched it over St. Peregrine, so that my weak and sick body might be well and strong again. Jesus, healer of bodies and souls, with the grace of healing, make me a part of your victory over sin and death; so that well again, I may be a witness of your merciful love, a sign of your saving power, and like St. Peregrine, friar and lowly Servant, I may live every day in service to you and the Church.

To you, Jesus, crucified and risen, be every glory and honor forever and ever. Amen.

St. Peregrine, pray for us.

Mary, Mother of Peace,

As I walk through this garden, draw me gently into the quiet of your heart. Help me notice God’s presence in every flower, every tree, and every peaceful step along the way.

Teach me, as you did, to treasure God’s grace, to trust His plan, and to say “yes” with an open heart. Walk beside me and lead me always to Jesus.

Our Lady of Peace, cover me with your loving care. May the peace I receive here remain in my heart and shine through my words, my choices, and my life.
Mary, pray for me, and lead me closer to your Son.

Amen.
