By St. ...Rules for the Proper Observance of Novenas<br />By St. Alphonsus Liguori<br /><br />1. THE soul must be in the state of grace; for the devotion of a sinful heart pleases neither God nor the saints.<br /><br />2. We must persevere, that is, the prayers for each day of the novena must never be omitted.<br /><br />3. If possible, we should visit a church every day, and there implore the favor we desire.<br /><br />4. Every day we ought to perform certain specified acts of exterior self-denial and interior mortification, in order to prepare us thereby for the reception of grace.<br /><br />5. It is most important that we receive holy communion when making a novena. Therefore prepare yourself well for it.<br /><br />6. After obtaining the desired grace for which the novena was made, do not omit to return thanks to God and to the saint through whose intercession your prayers were heard.Christ is the Lordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111776761403817142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401031201299855625.post-49304695785300669952020-05-17T16:31:40.832-07:002020-05-17T16:31:40.832-07:00INVOCATION TO OUR LADY

“The God of...Spiritual Testament of St. John Bosco:<br />“The God of mercy and his holy Mother came to our help in our needs. This was especially true whenever it was a case of providing for our poor and abandoned boys, and even more so when their souls were in danger. The Blessed Virgin will certainly continue to protect our Congregation and our Salesian works if we maintain our trust in her and promote devotion to her.”Christ is the Lordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111776761403817142noreply@blogger.com
