"Food for your Faith"
by the Holy Redeemer Faith Formation Commission Do you have prayer intentions that linger? Do you find yourself wanting to be more intentional in your prayer life and for those whom you've promised to pray for, but not quite sure how to? Novenas are a wonderful way to seek intercessory assistance during your prayer time each day. They allow us to offer up specific intentions to the company of saints throughout the year as we remember their feast days and specific patronages. "The word novena is taken from “novem,” the Latin word for nine. A novena is made up of nine days of prayer and meditation usually to ask God for special prayer requests or petitions. Novenas are often used to ask specific saints to pray for us. The Saint Jude Novena, for example, is prayed to ask Saint Jude to intercede on behalf of a request that seems especially dire (either leading up to his feast day or throughout the year, as needed). The novena itself is an imitation of the Lord’s command to the Apostles when they prayed for 9 days in anticipation of the coming of the Holy Spirit." www.praymorenovenas.com can help, especially if you're new to this form of prayer- or if 9 days of remembering to pray sounds like an overwhelming proposition. Sign up easily to receive novena reminders in your inbox- you will have the option to read, listen or even view video prayers each day, and you can add your intentions if you'd like on their prayer list. This growing community of over 250,000 people will be praying with you, adding to the power of prayer. You never know what miracles God may have in store!  click to enlarge image
