The Church encourages us to ask for the intercession of the saints, to locate our prayer within the annual round of the Church's year, and to make our prayer in the tradition of the great figures of Scripture. The novenas in this beautifully bound collection help us to pray in all of these ways. It contains a rich selection for many different needs and intentions, including popular novenas to our Lady and the Holy Spirit.
A novena is a way of praying, often for a particular intention or need. It consists, very simply, of a prayer or prayers said for nine (usually consecutive) days. This booklet contains newly composed novena prayers asking for the intercession of various saints. The long experience of praying Christians, and the teaching of the Church, assure us that the duty of Christians to support each other with prayer does not end with this life, and the saints delight to add their voices to ours when we make our requests to God our Father. Each novena is prefaced with a short biography of the saint, which gives some suggestions of the particular intentions or needs where their intercession has been found especially powerful.
These newly composed novena prayers provide opportunities to develop our prayer life throughout the year. Each season and feast has its own themes and focus; the wonder of the Incarnation and news of Jesus's birth, the contemplative period of Lent and the joy of Easter, and the example of Mary as her life story is told through her feast days. These novenas open up the feasts of the Church's year for us and we learn more of novenas as a form of prayer.
