We’ll begin our next novena in just a few days now — which is, of course, The Christmas Novena!
You can share your prayer intentions with us all below in the comments – we’re praying for you!
This was the very first novena we ever prayed through Pray More Novenas — and that was eleven years ago!
At the time, we didn’t have very many people praying with us at all… And now, there are thousands of people praying with us from all around the world!
We thank God for you and for this community, and we pray for you every day. You are never forgotten.
Thank you for praying with us.
We have prayed for the same general intention each year that we pray this novena, and that’s for an end to abortion.
There is no better time than to reflect on the most vulnerable of this world than during Advent and Christmas when we prepare for the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, who comes to us as a small baby.
We’ll start praying the Christmas Novena on Thursday, December 16th.
Thank you for joining us in praying The Immaculate Conception Novena! If you’ve had any of your prayers answered throughout this novena, you can share those with us all below.
We urge you to not give up on hope — the Lord is near and with you! We’re praying for you.
As we celebrate All Saints Day and pray for the faithful departed, the two of us wanted to do something special for you and your family. If you’ve been praying with us for a few years, you know that we like to do this every year :)
This is our gift for you:
We are having a Mass offered for you on November 1st at 5 pm at St. John’s Catholic Chapel in Champaign, IL. This Mass will be offered for you & your intentions.
Then, we are having another Mass offered for your deceased loved ones on November 2nd, All Souls Day, at 12:05 pm in the same chapel.
And lastly, we are having a Mass offered for all the deceased members of Pray More Novenas — those who have prayed with us at any point in the past and have since passed away. This Mass will be on November 3rd at 12:05 pm, again in the same chapel.
If you would like to share the names of those you are praying for, you can post them below.
We’re praying for you, your loved ones and your intentions.
Now please join us in praying these two prayers to celebrate All Saints Day and to remember all the poor souls in purgatory.
Prayer for All Saints Day Dear God, thank you for the example of the Saints. I desire to join in their company, worshiping you forever in Heaven. Please help me follow their footsteps, and yours, Jesus Christ. Please help me to conform myself to Your image, seeking Your will in all things, as the Saints did. Please help me to devote myself, and all that I do, to Your glory, and to the service of my neighbors. Amen.
Prayer for All Souls Day — the Prayer of St. Gertrude Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
Thank you so much for joining us in praying the St. Jude Novena! If you’ve had any of your prayers answered throughout this novena, please share those with us all below.
We praise God and give Him all the glory. He is a good, faithful and present Father.
Please do not give up on hope if your prayers have not been answered. The Lord is near. We are praying for you!
We will start praying the St. Jude Novena on Tuesday, October 19th. We’re looking forward to seeking St. Jude’s intercession with you.
You can share your prayer intentions with us all below in the comments – we’re praying for you!
Saint Jude was one of Jesus’ twelve original apostles. He is also known by the name Thaddeus, which means sweetness and gentleness of character.
Saint Jude followed Jesus faithfully until His crucifixion, and then later worked on evangelization.
Very little is known about his life, but we do know that he died as a martyr — some say around 65AD, giving his life to Jesus Christ.
He is now one of the most invoked saints for intercession in desperate situations because his New Testament letter stressed the importance of a faithful person persevering in the environment of harsh circumstances.
Pope Pius X called St. Therese “the greatest saint of modern times.” She’s well known for her “little way” spirituality of doing small, ordinary things with extraordinary love. She wrote in her autobiography, “What matters in life is not great deeds, but great love.”
We will start praying this novena on Wednesday, September 22nd. You can share your prayer intentions with us all below in the comments!
St. Therese suffered a great deal in her life. She lost her mom when she was a young girl. One of her older sisters became like a second mother to her, and St. Therese missed her when her sister entered a convent. St. Therese also suffered from chronic illness and depression. Through it all, she continued to look towards Jesus.
She’s a great example for all of us — a reminder to cling to Jesus through whatever each of us may be going through right now. Let’s look to Jesus!
