Prayer:

Private Novena Prayer to Blessed Titus Brandsma
God our Father, your servant, Blessed Titus Brandsma, labored zealously in your vineyard and gave his life freely because of his faith in you. Through his intercession I ask for your mercy and help. Father Titus never refused when he was asked for help by your people.
In his name, I come to you with my needs (mention request.)

Lord, help me always to imitate the great faith, generous love and burning zeal of Blessed Titus Brandsma. Glorify your servant as he strove to glorify you. Amen

Mary, Mother of Carmel, pray for us.
