A novena is a 9 day prayer requesting the saint to take our request to God. It is like asking a friend to pray for you. This is a simple explanation, I am sure there are better ones, but for me it is what I am doing. Asking for intercession with someone who is sitting close to our Lord. I am going to share one of my favorite novenas now, and will be adding more as days go by. This doesn't mean your petition will be answered the way you want, but God knows what is best for us.
Novena to St Therese, the Little Flower:
O Little Therese of the Child Jesus,
please pick for me a rose
from the heavenly gardens and
send it to me as a message of love.
O Little Flower of Jesus, Ask God
today to grant the favors I now place
with confidence in your hands.
(mention specific request now)
St Therese help me to always
believe, as you did, in God's great
love for me, so that I might
imitate your "Little Way" each day.
Amen
With this novena is has been told that you could receive a rose around the fifth day unexpectedly. Meaning, it came from someone you would not have expected. Or you might find your surroundings filled with the scent of roses. As a sign your request will be granted.
