Novenas
A novena is a nine-day period of private or public prayer to prepare for a major feast of the Church,
obtain special graces, to implore special favors, or to make special
petitions. (Novena is derived from the Latin "novem", meaning nine.) As the
definition suggests, the novena has always had more of a sense of urgency
and neediness.
