Day 1
Unity of the Church
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Martin,
In a time of dissension, you labored and died for the unity of the Church across the borders of East and West. With the help of Saint Maximus the Confessor, you strove to bring all Christians into unity in the confession of the truth under the authority of Peter. Intercede for the Church of our own day, also divided by the effects of sin and by the barriers of language, history, and politics. As a good shepherd gather the scattered flock of Christ. Aid our Holy Father the Pope in his great work of unity, and help us to faithfully uphold the infallible faith which he professes.
Grant us, we ask, also this special favor: (here state your intention)
Let us pray:
Grant, almighty God that we may withstand the trials of this world with invincible firmness of purpose, just as you did not allow your Martyr Pope Saint Martin the First to be daunted by threats or broken by suffering. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.
Amen.
Day 2
Against Monothelitism
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Martin,
in your day, the Church was divided by debate over the wills and operations of Christ. Faithful to the teaching of your predecessors, you defined and declared that he who is both God and man possesses each of his natures whole and intact with all the operations proper to them. The one who became man assumed not an inert or amputated nature, but a truly human heart, mind, and will, thus saving and sanctifying our own hearts, minds, and wills and uniting them indissolubly to God. He who knew us and willed our salvation as God, knew us and willed our salvation also as man. Grant that we may always confess the fullness of the humanity of Christ, and so adore his ineffable divinity.
Grant us, we ask, also this special favor: (here state your intention)
Let us pray:
Grant, almighty God that we may withstand the trials of this world with invincible firmness of purpose, just as you did not allow your Martyr Pope Saint Martin the First to be daunted by threats or broken by suffering. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.
Amen.
Day 3
Church and State
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Martin,
the heresy you opposed was promulgated and imposed by the Emperor on his own authority, and when another Emperor tried to silence the true doctrine along with heresy, you refused, boldly proclaiming the truth even in the face of worldly threats and arms. As a faithful son of the Church, you did not acknowledge any authority of the secular power over divine religion, but confessed Christ even at the cost of being considered an enemy of the state. Grant that we, too, may be obedient to the Church and to the Pope even when faced with the enmity of the powers of this world, and may always honor that Faith and unity which is eternal over all that is temporal, fleeting, fragile, corruptible, and destined to pass away.
Grant us, we ask, also this special favor: (here state your intention)
Let us pray:
Grant, almighty God that we may withstand the trials of this world with invincible firmness of purpose, just as you did not allow your Martyr Pope Saint Martin the First to be daunted by threats or broken by suffering. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.
Amen.
Day 4
Sickness
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Martin,
When the soldiers of the Emperor came for you, you were lying sick in bed. Your greatest suffering during your imprisonment was the infirmities of your body, deprived of proper medical care and subject to wanton abuse. Remember all those who are sick, comfort them in their afflictions, and grant that they may be cared for faithfully. Guard those who are neglected or abused by others. As they share in the same bodily infirmity with you, so may they also share in your triumph with Christ in heaven. Grant us the grace of comforting and caring for those who suffer.
Grant us, we ask, also this special favor: (here state your intention)
Let us pray:
Grant, almighty God that we may withstand the trials of this world with invincible firmness of purpose, just as you did not allow your Martyr Pope Saint Martin the First to be daunted by threats or broken by suffering. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.
Amen.
Day 5
Mockery and Suffering
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Martin,
during your time in Constantinople, you were subject to public ridicule and disgrace at the hands of your enemies, who shaved off your tonsure and cut to pieces your pallium, the symbol of your Apostolic authority, and even the laces on your sandals. In this you imitated the sufferings of Blessed Peter the Apostle and of your divine master. While to the worldly-minded you were an object of shame, for those with eyes to see you became a living icon of the glory of the Crucified. Grant that we may always perceive in those who suffer mockery and disgrace the living presence of Christ, and so come to his aid in them. Comfort those whom the world rejects, Holy Father.
Grant us, we ask, also this special favor: (here state your intention)
Let us pray:
Grant, almighty God that we may withstand the trials of this world with invincible firmness of purpose, just as you did not allow your Martyr Pope Saint Martin the First to be daunted by threats or broken by suffering. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.
Amen.
Day 6
Prisoner
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Martin,
you spent much of your time in Constantinople imprisoned with men accused of murder. You gained their trust and affection by your patience and kindness, so that they became your friends and mourned when you were taken from them. Look upon all those who are imprisoned, whether guilty or innocent, and befriend them also. Put an end to all cruelty and injustice in law and punishment in our society, and grant us the grace to generously visit and aid the imprisoned, as Christ commanded us.
Grant us, we ask, also this special favor: (here state your intention)
Let us pray:
Grant, almighty God that we may withstand the trials of this world with invincible firmness of purpose, just as you did not allow your Martyr Pope Saint Martin the First to be daunted by threats or broken by suffering. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.
Amen.
Day 7
Exile
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Martin,
You were condemned to banishment far from your home in Italy to the Cherson in the Crimea, and so lived your final days as an exile among strangers. Look upon all those who have been forced to leave their homes and native lands. Grant that we may always welcome the stranger with love, as Christ commanded us. Provide for the needs of all exiles and refugees, and restore them, at last, to their true heavenly home.
Grant us, we ask, also this special favor: (here state your intention)
Let us pray:
Grant, almighty God that we may withstand the trials of this world with invincible firmness of purpose, just as you did not allow your Martyr Pope Saint Martin the First to be daunted by threats or broken by suffering. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.
Amen.
Day 8
Hunger
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Martin,
At your interrogation, you boasted of the famous charity of the Church of Rome, which in the days of your pontificate provided abundant and choice food for all who asked. Yet your last days were spent in hunger and penury, and you lamented that in your place of exile bread was known only by name. Look upon all who hunger as you did, and all who lack the necessities of life. Grant that we may always give from our plenty whatever others lack. Provide for all the poor good food and clean water, dignified work, healthcare, leisure, peace, virtue, and everlasting salvation.
Grant us, we ask, also this special favor: (here state your intention)
Let us pray:
Grant, almighty God that we may withstand the trials of this world with invincible firmness of purpose, just as you did not allow your Martyr Pope Saint Martin the First to be daunted by threats or broken by suffering. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.
Amen.
Day 9
Miracles
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Martin,
After your death, your tomb became a source of miracles and healing to many. Even while the powers of this world continued to regard you as a traitor, God himself honored you by abundant signs and wonders worked through your intercession. Please grant us the miracles of grace we need for our good, holiness, and salvation. In return, we promise to honor you and always confess the doctrine you proclaimed, living our lives to the end in fidelity to the Pope, obedient to all the teachings of the Holy Catholic Church.
Grant us, we ask, also this special favor: (here state your intention)
Let us pray:
Grant, almighty God that we may withstand the trials of this world with invincible firmness of purpose, just as you did not allow your Martyr Pope Saint Martin the First to be daunted by threats or broken by suffering. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.
Amen.

Novena ad Papam Sanctum Martinum Primum
Papam et Martyrum
Die primo
Unitas ecclesiae
In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti:
Martine,
Tempore dissensionis, pro unitate ecclesiae in Oriente Occidenteque laborasti et mortem tulisti. Sancto Maximo Confessori iuvante, omnes Christianos in confessione veritatis sub auctoritate Petri ad unitatem ducere nisus es. Intercede pro nostris temporibus ecclesia, effectis peccatorum et claustris linguarum, decursus annorum, et rerum politicarum etiam direpta. Bonus pastor tu gregem dispersum Christi collige. Iuva in magno labore unitatis Sanctum Patrem Papam nostrum, et da nobis ut infallibilem fidem quam profitetur fideliter sustineamus.
Da nobis, quaesumus, etiam hanc gratiam specialem:
Oremus:
Da nobis, quaesumus, omnipotens Deus, adversa mundi invicta mentis constantia tolerare, qui beatum Martinum papam et martyrem nec minis terreri nec poenis passus es superari. Per Dominum nostrum, Iesum Christum, Filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus per omnia saecula saeculorum.
Amen.
Die secundo
Contra Monothelitismum
In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti:
Martine,
Tuis temporibus, ecclesia certaminibus de voluntatibus et operationibus Christi divisa est. Fidelis doctrinae predecessorium, eum qui est et Deus et homo utramque naturam integram et intactum cum omnibus operationibus propriis habere definisti et declarasti. Factus homo non naturam intertem vel amputatam assumpsit, sed cor, mentem, et voluntatem humanam veram, eoque cordia, mentes, et voluntates nostras salvavit sanctificavit atque in Deum indissolubiliter unavit. Qui ut Deus nos scivit et salutem nostram voluit, idem nos scivit et salutem nostram voluit etiam ut homo. Da ut nos semper plenitudinem humanitatis Christi confiteamur eoque divinitatem ineffabilem adoremus.
Da nobis, quaesumus, etiam hanc gratiam specialem:
Oremus:
Da nobis, quaesumus, omnipotens Deus, adversa mundi invicta mentis constantia tolerare, qui beatum Martinum papam et martyrem nec minis terreri nec poenis passus es superari. Per Dominum nostrum, Iesum Christum, Filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus per omnia saecula saeculorum.
Amen.
Die tertio
Ecclesia et civitas
In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti:
Martine,
Obstitisti haeresi sua auctoritate ab Imperatore promulgatae atque impositae, et, alio imperatore nitenti ut cum haerese vera doctrina sileat, contra minationes et arma saecularia veritatem proclamans abnuisti. Fidelis filius ecclesiae, nullam auctoritatem potestatis saecularis super religionem divinam accepisti, sed inimicus imperii reputatus Christum confessus est. Da ut nos etiam, coram inimicitias saecularium potestatum, ecclesiae atque Papae oboediamus, et eam fidem et unitatem quae aeterna est super omnia temporalia, caduca, fragilia, corruptibilia, et transitura veneremus.
Da nobis, quaesumus, etiam hanc gratiam specialem:
Oremus:
Da nobis, quaesumus, omnipotens Deus, adversa mundi invicta mentis constantia tolerare, qui beatum Martinum papam et martyrem nec minis terreri nec poenis passus es superari. Per Dominum nostrum, Iesum Christum, Filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus per omnia saecula saeculorum.
Amen.
Die quarto
Aegritudo
In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti:
Martine,
Cum milites imperatoris advenirent, tu in lectulo aegerrimus iacuisti. Tibi privato digna cura et hubribus subjecto, infirmitates corporis erant in captivitatione maxima passio. Memorare omnes aegros, conforta in afflictionibus, et da ut fideliter curentur. Neglectos aut abusos ab aliis custodi. Sicut participes infirmitatis corporis tecum sunt, sic participes triumphi tui cum Christo in caelo sint. Da nobis gratiam ut patientes confortemur et curemus.
Da nobis, quaesumus, etiam hanc gratiam specialem:
Oremus:
Da nobis, quaesumus, omnipotens Deus, adversa mundi invicta mentis constantia tolerare, qui beatum Martinum papam et martyrem nec minis terreri nec poenis passus es superari.Per Dominum nostrum, Iesum Christum, Filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus per omnia saecula saeculorum.
Amen.
Die quinto
Risus et passio
In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti:
Martine,
Te habitante in Constantinopole, risui et opprobrio publico ab inimicis subjectus es: tonsuram raserunt, pallium, signum auctoritatis tuae Apostolicae, cum etiam corrigia calceamenti delaceraverunt. Ita passiones Beati Apostoli Petri et tui domini divini imitasti. Hominibus mentis saecularis opprobrium eras, hominibus percipientibus eikon viviens gloriae Crucifixi factus es. Da ut nos semper in risum et opprobrium patientibus praesentiam viventem Christi percipiamus eoque in his eum iuvemus. Quos mundus rejicit conforta, Sancte Pater.
Da nobis, quaesumus, etiam hanc gratiam specialem:
Oremus:
Da nobis, quaesumus, omnipotens Deus, adversa mundi invicta mentis constantia tolerare, qui beatum Martinum papam et martyrem nec minis terreri nec poenis passus es superari. Per Dominum nostrum, Iesum Christum, Filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus per omnia saecula saeculorum.
Amen.
Die sexto
In carcere
In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti:
Martine,
Plerumque tempus in Constantinopole egisti in carcare clausus cum reis homicidii. Fidem et affectus tibi patienti et beneficienti illi sumpserunt ut amici fierent et te amotum gemerent. Intende in omnes in carcere clausos, vel innocentes vel conscios, ut ei quoque tibi amici fiant. Fac finem omni crudelititati atque iniustitiae in iudiciis poenisque in civitate nostra, et da nobis gratiam ut generositer, ut Christus mandavit, veniamus ad clausos et iuvemus.
Da nobis, quaesumus, etiam hanc gratiam specialem:
Oremus:
Da nobis, quaesumus, omnipotens Deus, adversa mundi invicta mentis constantia tolerare, qui beatum Martinum papam et martyrem nec minis terreri nec poenis passus es superari. Per Dominum nostrum, Iesum Christum, Filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus per omnia saecula saeculorum.
Amen.
Die septimo
Exsul
In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti:
Martine,
Condemnatus longe a patria in Italia ad Chersonesum in Crimea deportatus es, itaque ultimos dies inter alienos exsul egisti. Intende in omnes a domibus patriisque depulsos. Da nobis ut semper cum caritate alienos accipiamus. Provide pro omnibus exsulis refugisque, et tandem ad veram patriam caelestiam eos refer.
Da nobis, quaesumus, etiam hanc gratiam specialem:
Oremus:
Da nobis, quaesumus, omnipotens Deus, adversa mundi invicta mentis constantia tolerare, qui beatum Martinum papam et martyrem nec minis terreri nec poenis passus es superari. Per Dominum nostrum, Iesum Christum, Filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus per omnia saecula saeculorum.
Amen.
Die octavo
Fames
In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti:
Martine,
Quaestus gloriatus es de gloriosa caritate Ecclesiae Romanae, quae diebus pontificatus tui escam abundantem electamque omnibus quaerentibus dedit. Dies autem ultimos in fame penuriaque egisti, atque in loco exsilii solum nomine cognitum panem questus es. Intende in omnes esurientes sicut tu, omnesque necessariis vitae egentes. Da ut demus semper e nostra copia quocumque alii egemus. Da omnibus pauperibus bonam escam atque puram aquam, labores cum dignitate, valetudinis curas, otium, pacem, virtutem, et salutem aeternam.
Da nobis, quaesumus, etiam hanc gratiam specialem:
Oremus:
Da nobis, quaesumus, omnipotens Deus, adversa mundi invicta mentis constantia tolerare, qui beatum Martinum papam et martyrem nec minis terreri nec poenis passus es superari. Per Dominum nostrum, Iesum Christum, Filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus per omnia saecula saeculorum.
Amen.
Die noveno
Miracula
In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti:
Martine,
Post exitum tuum sepulcrum fons miraculorum sanationumque multis factum est. Potestatibus saecularibus te parricidum reputantibus, ipse Deus signis ostentisque abundantibus per tuam intercessionem factis te honoravit. Da, quaesumus, miracula gratiae quibus egemus ad bonum, sanctificationem, et salutem nostrum. Promittimus invicem ut te veneremus et doctrinam quae proclamasti confiteamur, atque fideliter Papae oboedientes omnibus doctrinis Sanctae Ecclesiae Catholicae vitam nostram in finem agemus.
Da nobis, quaesumus, etiam hanc gratiam specialem:
Oremus:
Da nobis, quaesumus, omnipotens Deus, adversa mundi invicta mentis constantia tolerare, qui beatum Martinum papam et martyrem nec minis terreri nec poenis passus es superari.

Amen.
