Novenas : Prayers Of Intercession And Devotion

Novenas are nine days of concentrated prayer, modeled on the nine days that Mary and the apostles prayed in the upper room between Jesus’ Ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Catholics have prayed them for centuries. Now, novenas are undergoing a surge of renewed popularity as Catholics reclaim their devotional heritage. Compiled and edited by William G. Storey–author of best-selling prayer books and one of the world’s authorities on Catholic devotional prayer–it is the first novena prayer book of its kind.
