Novenas

A novena is the reciting of powerful prayers and devotions for a special request over nine consecutive days. A novena includes praying, fasting, Eucharistic adoration and meditating. The nine days signifies the nine days the Apostles prayed together during the time between the Ascension of Jesus, and Pentecost. However, there is no hard and fast "rule" for praying; it is best if you adopt a way of prayer that is comfortable for you and allows you to be in conversation with God.
