The Benefits of Praying Novenas
Self-Discipline
We learn to have a prayer routine and better self-discipline by saying novena prayers every day for nine days. Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not lose heart. (Luke 18:1)
More Meaningful
Novenas help us prepare for Feast days and solemnities so that they have greater meaning for us.
Trusting in God
As we focus on a specific prayer intention, we learn to trust that God knows what is best for us.
Praying a novena reminds us how much we rely on God’s love. He answers our prayers in the way that is best for us.
