The Next Novena: The Novena That Inspired This Website!

New here? Join us in prayer! Click here to get novena reminders by email!

Eight years ago, Annie asked me to pray the Immaculate Conception Novena with her.

I actually turned her down, because I always had trouble finishing a novena. I would always forget.

After I thought a little bit more about it, I knew that wasn’t a good enough reason not to join her in prayer.

So, her simple request inspired me to create PrayMoreNovenas.com to help people remember to…

…well…

Pray More Novenas!

Since then more than 450,000 people have joined in praying together!

So, please join us in praying the Immaculate Conception Novena starting next Thursday, November 29th!

You can join us in prayer here:

We’re looking forward to praying with you and for you!

God bless you!

  74. Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ. Last novena I posted my intention, it was for my daughter who had been in an emotionally, mentally, spiritually, physically, sexually and financially abusive relationship since she was 16. She is now 23 with two children who are, and always have been most unwanted by the partner. Last Friday my daughter felt she could not receive any more pain, she ran. However she could not bring her beloved children out and the partner will not release them. Police are involved in the case of the abuse toward my daughter, but are powerless to retrieve the children as yet. My intention to our Immaculate Mother is for this young mother, to be reunited with her children. For a new chapter to begin for mother and children. That in the Holy Spirit healing and wholeness will commence, and life as God intended begins for them. A life lived in safety, secure in faith, hope and love, with the support of her family who have been waiting patiently with open arms. Also, for the Lord to guide us in the best ways to support them.

    I thank God for his mercy in bringing my daughter out. I thank God that I can believe in Him for bringing the children back to the mother that has endured so much for the sake of her two children. And I thank God for you all. As we lift up to Him this chorus, or symphony of intercession, for our own intentions and each others He is present, He is compassion, He is mercy.

  75. Dear Mother Mary,
    With a greatful heart and song of praise I thank the Lord for giving a very good job to my son after praying and struggling for almost three years. This has taken place due to your interceding with your son our Lord. Thank you and praise you dear mother.
