November 1st ….
🕯️ Lit Novem [Novena] Candle 🕯️
The Latin word novem means “nine” and is the root of the Catholic tradition of the novena, which is a nine-day period of prayer:
Novenas are a traditional Catholic practice where people pray privately or in public for nine days in a row to ask for special favors, make petitions, or obtain graces. Catholics often pray novenas during times of need.
Some examples of novenas include:
Novena to St. Peregrine, prayed by cancer patients and their families
Novena to the Holy Spirit, which is said to have Biblical roots
Novena to the Miraculous Medal
Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Novena to St. Joseph
Novena to St. Jude
❤️🙏📿 🤟The tradition of the novena may have originated from the nine days between the Feast of the Ascension and Pentecost, when the disciples prayed together in the upper room. ❤️🙏📿🤟
The Church considers the novena to be a pious exercise that strengthens faith, and it grants a partial indulgence to those who take part in a public novena before certain feasts.
🙏📿 Novena is derived from the Latin “novem”, meaning nine. A novena is when a series of private or public prayer to obtain special graces, to implore special favors, or to make special petitions. The prayers are given for nine days straight for the special intention. The novena is offered as a sacrifice to God.🙏📿
