Thank you Fr Stephen. Every time I listen to you I get a little gem of knowledge or inspiration. Perhaps the greatest example of this is when you said that when we receive the Eucharist we receive the the “ whole church “ the fullness of God . It has dramatically changed my understanding and perception and experience of Holy communion . I will forever more see it with the utmost reverence and Awe . Thank you
I am Alice from St.Lucia. At the moment my parish is doing St. Benedict novena in preparation for the feast July 11. Also the confraternity of Mount Carmel is doing novena towards feast day July 16
I haven't thought about Novena for years. I can remember my Irish mother saying she was going to do a Novena, usually for someone seriously ill or for a relative who died. I suppose I connected Novenas solely for those purposes. Thank you for the explanation and the history. By listening to and watching your Pause for Faith films I am rediscovering so much of the old traditions of my faith when I was a kid in Ireland. I had forgotten more than I realised!
I decided to pray a novena to Our Lady Untiyer of knots . The article I read told me it’s never been known to fail . Pope Francis tells us he has great faith in her . Do you know , I was in dire straits. Facing an absolute mountain of anxiety and fear . An impossible situation. Do you know, Out Lady came through for me . I am eternally grateful to her
In Birmingham, England, we have a beautiful novena each year to The Sacred Heart of Jesus at Maryvale (first Catholic residence of St John Henry Newman). Maryvale House has a shrine chapel to The Sacred Heart of Jesus. Also at ‘The Abbey’ in Erdington, Birmingham, there is a lovely perpetual novena each Saturday to Our Lady of Perpetual help. The Abbey has a beautiful shrine to Our Lady of Perpetual Help.
I prayed the same Novena sometimes back the year 2021 asking Mary to untie knots that make me not get a permanent job...by then I was jobless....the year 2022, God answered my prayers. Up to date I am doing the same job I got 2022...God answers prayers...to Glory be to God! Right now, I am doing the same Novena "Our Lady untier of knots" am day 5 today, asking God to find be a good husband...I will one day come back to review this comment again and testify that God did it again for me...❤
You have explained this perfectly !!! Thank you so so much 🕯🙏🏽 I like to pray to mary the un-doer of knots . Also to Saint Rita for impossible cases . Saint Jude , Saint Anthony and Saint Expeditus 💙
Thank you father. Many years ago when we were first married I had hoped to become pregnant soon but it didn't happen.. I then found a little book in a shop in Italy which detailed a Rosary novena.. 36 days in petition and 36 days in thanksgiving. By the time I began the thanksgiving I was already pregnant with my first son.
Do you mean the 54 Day Rosary Novena? I accidentally found it online many years ago after I went to Fatima. I’ll pray the novena And it never fails. I don’t plan on it but Somehow I’m always lead it when I need it. 🙏🙏🙏
I have done novenas since I was a kid but didn't know the name.I used to collect the booklets and read them. I just read them didn't exactly is understand the purpose. Novenas are such beautiful prayers , we try to pray them all the time. My question is , if I miss a day, do I just go on or do I repeat? The Thanksgiving novena that you speak about, is it a special one or do I repeat the novena I just prayed? I am of middle Eastern heritage and I see the picture behind you 💓makes me happy to see St.Charbel & St.Rafca .
Hi Jat - if you miss a day you can try to catch up and do it on the next day, together with that new day; or you can be at peace and accept that you have missed a day but keep to the say 9 day plan; or you can do it the following day and extend the whole novena by one day to make up!
My family is Mexican. I have memories from my childhood of people praying the rosary for several days after someone’s death. After watching this I think it was for nine days so that makes it a novena, right?
Father, do you have to light candles to do a novena? Can we pray a prayer everyday for 9 days without using a candle? Also, what is the thanksgiving novena you spoke of after a prayer is answered? Is it the same novena one prayed for a specific intention or specific novena done for thanksgiving? Thank you.
This was a very helpful video in learning the novena. It's informative content & I like it! There's a link provided too which is nice & I don't need to trouble myself too much on searching furthermore.
It seems that the Rosary to pray for nine days with this Novena is the Glorious Mysteries because both Jesus' Ascension and the Descent of the Holy Spirit are part of the Glorious Mysteries.
Check a Novena booklet in a bookshop or Google online. Most is 9days & have instruction on how many day & how.. but mostly you say the same Prayer for 9 days some have different prayers for each day…
Father, I am confused. Is prayer for the rosary the same step with the one in Novena? I pray the Holy Rosary, I wish to do the Novena for Saint Joseph but I do not know the step-by-step process of it. I have an application in my phone about the nine days of Novena but it doesn't tell me the whole process. I mean, what is the first thing to do? Is it just like a rosary? Please help me father. Tha ks.
Hi Elia - rosary and novena are separate things; so you can do one or both or neither! If you are praying the rosary then you can just keep that going; and then treat the Novena as a separate/extra thing you are doing. There is no deep process other than just starting on the first day, and if you have an app then just follow that from the first day. Hope that helps.

A novena is an extra prayer that you can add into your normal prayer routine, especially for a special intention; a bit like during Lent we can add in some extra prayers or extra prayer time for the 40 days of Lent. It's worth a try!
If you are not reciting rosary Daily please do start, sunday Mass & confession often , plus Daily prayers.. you can also talk to your priest for more guidance 🙏
EWTN has a beautiful novena to St. Joseph which I have prayed several times. Glorious St. Joseph is a powerful intercession.
Novenas to saint Philomena, Saint Joan of Arc, and Saint Anthony are VERY powerful. Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!
God bless you father, you are helping bring souls closer to God. Thank you for this video.
Thank you Father I am from Canada thank you for spreading the word and teaching us about the nine day novena ❤
Thank you very much...I enjoy and understand the way to pray a novena...
Thank you Fr Stephen. This will be my first Novena, I needed this information to pray for my daughter and her family. God bless you.

What a lovely testimony Margaret - I hope it encourages other people to do the rosary novena too

Lovely father how you spoke about a Noven

Thank you so much father ! I am an adult convert and didn't learn about them. Heard about them but was not clear on what it was/what to do! Thank you!
Great video.
🙏❤️
I PRAY TO YOUR OH GOD TO BLESS ME WITH A GOOD HUSBAND

I prayed the novena to Mothers Mary to get get good job... Father...
Very helpful! Thank you!!!
It seems that the Rosary to pray for nine days with this Novena is the Glorious Mysteries because both Jesus' Ascension and the Descent of the Holy Spirit are part of the Glorious Mysteries.
As u pray as a group:is it the same person who has to say that special prayer? Can we include the Rosary?
how and what are the steps? the prayers you pray. I understand what you said but what are the steps.
Check a Novena booklet in a bookshop or Google online. Most is 9days & have instruction on how many day & how.. but mostly you say the same Prayer for 9 days some have different prayers for each day…
can i do multiple novenas at the same time? thank you, father.
Best to do one at a time, so that you can focus better….my take..
Hello father, can one do a 54 days novena with another novena?
Father, I am confused. Is prayer for the rosary the same step with the one in Novena?

Okay. so you mean, I can do novena after praying the Holy Rosary?

Please start with Daily rosary, Sunday Mass, confession often & consistent Prayer life even if is short prayers but every day🙏
Is a novena prayed in conjunction with the rosary or is it prayed separately?
Separately
How do you pray a novena if you already are praying every day? (Not sure how to pray “9 days in a row” if I am already praying daily…. It’s confusing)
A novena is an extra prayer that you can add into your normal prayer routine, especially for a special intention; a bit like during Lent we can add in some extra prayers or extra prayer time for the 40 days of Lent. It's worth a try!
Father, can I do two novenas at d same time
How can l open up a novena app on my phone
Father what Novena can I use to drive away the evil one?
If you are not reciting rosary Daily please do start, sunday Mass & confession often , plus Daily prayers.. you can also talk to your priest for more guidance 🙏
St Anthony look around for my high school classmate who does not answer me on Facebook.I really want to be friends with her.
Love this,, thank you father🙏
Thank you
