St. Christopher Ladies Guild Monthly Novena
What is a Novena?
A novena is a way to ask God for special prayer requests or petitions. The word novena comes from the latin word “novem,” which means nine. It consists of nine days of prayer and meditation. Often novenas ask specific saints to pray or intercede on our behalf.
Jesus, the Apostles, and the Virgin Mary started the ancient tradition known as novenas. After his ascension into heaven, Jesus told His disciples to pray together and they went into an upper room and joined together constantly in prayer for nine days (Acts 1:14). The nine days of prayer eventually led up to Pentacost when the Holy Spirit descended on the disciples as “tongues of fire” (Acts 2:1-4).
We pray novenas to imitate the disciples’ 9 day prayer in anticipation of the coming Holy Spirit.
Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
The Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus was started and made popular by St. Margaret Mary Alacoque. She was inspired by visions of Jesus to spread this devotion.
This was a favorite prayer of St. Padre Pio and he prayed it every day.

How do I pray a Novena:
On this site, we will pray one novena per month. The daily prayers for the 9 days of the novena are posted below. All you need to do is choose 9 consecutive days during the month and say the daily prayers with a sincere heart. For some novenas, it is recommended that they be prayed on specific days during the month, with the 9th day usually ending on the Feast Day of a particular saint. Although not required, you may choose to pray at the same time everyday, pray the rosary in addition to the novena, or fast during the 9 days of the novena. If you miss a day in your novena, don’t worry! You can either skip that day, do two prayers the next day to catch up, or just be one day behind.
Remember, God controls the universe and we do not always know or understand his plan. Novenas should not be regarded as magical incantations that guarantee results. Whatever good intentions we pray for, we must accept that God knows what is best for us.
