Saint Matthew Shephard NOVENA PRAYER

Patron of all victims of prejudice, persecution

And of women giving birth in difficulty

PRAY FOR US

There is always a saint who shields the persecuted, those hated for no other reason than for what God' made them like. Saint Matthew Shephard, hate crime victim has already interceded with God to save many from gay bashing and murder Miraculously he healed women with breast cancer. So his death was not in vain because from heaven he bestows upon the many that invoke him greater blessings than those he gave so kindly when he was in this world. This comes as a shame for those who took the path of satan and perpetrated the horrible crime that somehow has helped in elevating him to the altars. Indeed, it can only be said that those who ridicule and hate what God the Father has created commit the most grevious sin of all, St. Matthew Shephard from the heights of where he is intercedes with God for those that are hated and despised by possessed men and women who are sinners against God the Father. May those who read these lines invoke St. Matthew so that the blessings and .protection he gives may fall upon them.

PRAYER TO SAINT MATTHEW SHEPHARD

St. Matthew Shephard, I come to you,

I name you and raise my mind to you

As they have told me, ail martyrs are worthy of

sainthood,

Not because martyrdom is to be imitated,

But to be eliminated.

From your place of peace in the Mind of God:

Move minds and hearts to eliminate unjust suffering

and death.

I come to you and name you

Who are next to the Archangel Spirit,

Who wields the firey sword of truth and justice.

Make truth and justice triumph over unjust suffering

and death.

I come to you and name you.

Who are next to the Blessed Mother of Love and

Compassion so that life, love and compassion may

triumph over unjust suffering and death    Amen+

Our Father       , Hail   Mary    Glory be to the

Father
