A novena - in simple terms - a series of prayers offered for nine days. There are many novenas available for anyone to select from - for many different causes - issues. My wife and I have been praying the Divine Mercy Novena - begun on Good Friday and ending on the first Saturday following Easter Sunday. On the Sunday following - tomorrow - Divine Mercy Sunday. Throughout the nine days of prayers various issues are offered in prayer - the souls of priests and religious - all devout and faithful souls - those who do not believe in Jesus and those who do not know Him - souls of separated brethren - meek and humble souls and souls of children - souls who venerate and glorify Jesus' mercy - souls detained in purgatory - souls who have become lukewarm.
God loves it when we talk with Him in prayer. He loves to hear our praises - needs - desires - concerns - especially for those of others. Jesus promised that as a community - He woudl always be with us - in Spirit - prayer. We only have to open our hearts - mouths - to begin the most powerful conversations we will ever have.
