Novenas

What are Novenas? Novenas have been a staple of the prayer life of countless Catholics. It's possible that the first Pentecost was the inspiration for nine days of prayer. (The term "novena" comes from the Latin word for ninth.) One novena that has quasi-official status in the life of the Church is the Nine First Fridays. It is based on the visions of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690), who reported that Our Lord promised to save the soul of anyone who attended Mass and received Holy Communion on the first Friday of the month for nine straight months. Many parishes offer the votive Mass of the Sacred Heart every first Friday.

Novena Prayer
Dearest Holy Spirit, confiding in Your deep, personal love for me, I am making this novena for the following request, if it be Your Holy Will to grant it: (mention your request).

Teach me, Divine Spirit, to know and seek my last end; grant me the holy fear of God; grant me true contrition and patience.  Do not let me fall into sin.  Give me an increase of faith, hope and charity, and bring forth in my soul all the virtues proper to my state in life.

Make me a faithful disciple of Jesus and an obedient child of the Church.  Give me efficacious grace sufficient to keep the Commandments and to receive the Sacraments worthily.  Give me the four Cardinal Virtues, Your Seven Gifts, Your Twelve Fruits.  Raise me to perfection in the state of life to which You have called me and lead me through a happy death to everlasting life.  I ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.  (Pray one Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.)
