Prayer to Saint Ivo

“May my Lord Jesus, my Saint Ivo, hear my prayers. Give me caution in food and drink. Diligence and honesty in work. Firm in my good intentions.

Make my conscience clear. My conduct without fault. My life well ordered. Put me on guard against human weaknesses. Always make me happy with my love for you, My Saint Ivo, and for Our Lord Jesus.

Make me keep Your Law. And your example. And come to me to save me. Teach me that this world is fleeting. That the true future is in heaven. That life on earth is short and fast. That life after death is eternal.

Help me prepare for death. With due fear of judgment. But with confidence in his goodness. Be, Saint Ivo, at the head of my bed in my agony and lead me to a good death, eternal salvation and the endless joy of Heaven. Achieve this with your merits through Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.”

Saint Ivo, protector of lawyers

“Glorious Saint Ivo, lily of purity, apostle of charity and intrepid defender of justice. You who, seeing in human laws a reflection of the eternal law, knew how to marvelously combine the postulates of justice and the imperative of Christian love, assist, enlighten, strengthen the legal class, our judges and lawyers, the cultivators and interpreters of the law, to that in their teachings and decisions, they never deviate from equity and righteousness.

Let them love justice, so that they may consolidate peace; exercise charity, so that concord may reign; defend and support the weak and unprotected, so that, putting aside all subordinate interests and all affection of people, they make the wisdom of the law triumph over the forces of injustice and evil.

Look also at us, glorious Saint Ivo, who wish to copy your examples and imitate your virtues. Exercise your mission as our advocate and protector at the throne of God, so that our prayers may be favorably addressed and we may feel the effects of your powerful patronage. Amen.”
