Here it is, another deep look into the way of praying of our catholic friends.
For those that do not know what Novena means:
A novena is a series of prayers or readings that are said for nine consecutive days. The word "novena" comes from the Latin word novem, which means nine. Novenas are a form of spiritual devotion in Christianity and are often prayed to ask God for special graces or favors.
Here are some things to know about novenas:
Origin
Novenas are traditionally based on the nine days of prayer that Jesus asked his Apostles to do before Pentecost.
Purpose
Novenas are often prayed in times of need, to prepare for a liturgical feast, or to participate in an important event.
When to pray
Novenas can be private or public. Many novenas are set by the liturgical calendar and are tied to specific feast days.
How to pray
You can pray a novena with the same intention for all nine days or with a different intention for each day. Some people add on extra practices like fasting or acts of service to deepen their novena experience.
Examples
Some examples of novenas include the Novena to St. Peregrine, which is prayed by cancer patients and their families upon diagnosis and treatment.
