Poderosa Novena de Amor

Repita esta Novena cuatro veces seguidas durante nueve días.

Todas las rodillas se inclinan ante el amor,

La forma más pura desde arriba.

Dios es amor, la guía definitiva,

Sin él, sólo existe la tolerancia.

Amor ágape, desinteresado y verdadero,

Una fuerza que nos une a mí y a ti.

En su abrazo encontramos la paz,

Y todas nuestras preocupaciones y miedos cesan.

Apreciemos este amor divino,

Y que se entrelace en nuestros corazones.

Porque en él encontramos nuestro camino,

Y en su luz vemos un día más brillante.

(Repita esta Novena cuatro veces seguidas durante nueve días, dejando una copia en la iglesia cada día. Al séptimo día, su petición será concedida.

ESTA NOVENA NUNCA SE HA SABIDO QUE FALLA.

Me: My chronically ill self frusteratedly aquireing crystals, pseudoscientific trinkets, anticdotal treatments, an puting up shrines to Shrines to St. Jude, St. Teresa of Avila, and St. Raphael.

Shockwave: This is illogical.

Me: This is perfectly logical. I'm seeking the placebo effect, complimentary medicine, and divine intervention. I'm doing all this in conjunction with, not replacing, the advice of and treatments prescribed by my physicians.

Shockwave: narrows optic speculatively Ah, not completely devoid of logic. It would be more logical, however, to seek experimental treatment instead.

Me: It would not be logical for me to seek such from you.

Shockwave: Point.

October: A Month of Spiritual Renewal through the Rosary

In the Catholic tradition, October is a significant month for reflection, renewal, and spiritual growth. It is dedicated to the Holy Rosary, a powerful form of prayer that invites believers to meditate on the life of Jesus Christ while seeking the intercession of the Virgin Mary. This observance emphasises Mary’s role in Catholic spirituality, encouraging the faithful to emulate her virtues and deepen their relationship with both her and Jesus her Son. Ultimately, October serves as an opportunity for Catholics to pursue spiritual rejuvenation and inner peace through dedicated prayer and contemplation of Marian devotion.

Spiritual Benefits of the Rosary

Inner peace: Meditating the mysteries brings a spiritual focus to help us deeply understand Mary. Praying the holy rosary helps us to be calm and quiet and also helps to avoid our daily stress and distractions. The devotion helps us to become more focused on God’s love and presence through the Virgin Mary. This can avoid your stress and anxiety and become more comfortable with God’s plan. As you pray and reflect on the life of Jesus, it helps quiet your mind and brings comfort, allowing you to feel more relaxed and connected to God.

Intercession: The holy rosary is seen as a way to ask for help from the Blessed Virgin Mary, believing in her role as a strong supporter who prays for us.Praying the rosary offers numerous benefits, one of the most significant being the power of intercession. When we pray with the rosary, each bead is the way of giving our personal and shared needs to Mary, and she gives these requests to God. Through the rosary, people find spiritual peace and relationship with God.

Making October a Month of Spiritual Growth

Daily Rosary: Praying daily Rosary will help us to grow the prayer routine, especially in the month of October. Use this time for quiet reflection and a deep connection with Mary. By dedicating every day to praying the rosary, especially in the month of October, individuals can find inner peace. During the month of October, we should realise the presence of our Virgin Mary. By understanding Mary, we become closer to God as well.

Incorporate Meditation: After praying the rosary, take some time to meditate on the mysteries and understand Mary’s life. Meditation can give you a sense of calm and also help you focus in a spiritual way. By dedicating time to meditation, we can avoid stress and gain a clearer understanding of the challenges we face in our daily lives. Therefore, meditation should be an important part of our daily lives.

As we strengthen our devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, let us also learn more about her life. For further insights and resources on the Blessed Mother, please visit our St Pauls UK online store.

The Daily Prayer Rosary: with Daily and Seasonal Readings from Common Worship

This book brings together two ancient Christian traditions: daily prayer based on the songs and psalms of the Bible and prayer with beads. Prayer beads are used all over the world in a staggering variety of forms. Combining the rosary with the songs of the Bible offers a contemplative approach to praying scripture in a tactile way. Using psalms and canticles from Common Worship, complete prayer outlines are provided for morning prayer, Prayer During the Day, Evening, and Night Prayer during Ordinary Time. In addition, eight outlines are given for the seasons of the Christian year: Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, Easter, Pentecost, and All Saints to Advent. Here is all you need in one volume for cultivating a habit of daily prayer with the scriptures throughout the day and throughout the year. For those familiar with the rosary and for those who have never used one before, this is an ideal devotional companion.BlogRosaries Online in UK

For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy

-  St. Therese of Lisieux

What is Prayer?

In the Catholic Church, prayer is "the raising of one's mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God." It is an act of the moral virtue of religion, which Catholic theologians identify as a part of the cardinal virtue of justice.

The basic forms of prayer are adoration, contrition, thanksgiving, and supplication, abbreviated as A.C.T.S.

Prayer is a dialogue that allows us to communicate directly with God, and it invites God to speak directly to us. Here we can rejoice in the glory of God, as well as ask Him for guidance, support, and for particular things such as to get a new job or to do well in a test.

When can we pray?

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

We are called to pray constantly, and with that in mind, there is no right or wrong time to pray. We can set aside particular time each day for prayer, but we can also pray while commuting to work, whilst carrying out chores, or before going on stage to deliver a speech.

What does prayer look like?

With the above in mind, prayer can look very different depending on the circumstances. Prayer can look like the beauty of the Catholic Mass, it can look like us on our knees with our eyes closed, or it can look like us just going about our regular day. 

You can light some candles or incense, you can put some hymns on, you can go onto your knees or to sit with your hands resting on your knees, or you can pray whilst walking about. There is no correct ‘look’ for prayer, so don’t be afraid to experiment and see what works best for you!

How do we pray?

Prayer can be mental, vocal, or a combination of both. Mental prayer can be meditative or contemplative. 

Meditation is a form of mental prayer and is, “a silent elevation and application of our mind and heart to God in order to offer Him our homages and to promote His glory by our own advancement in virtue.”

St. Thomas Aquinas called contemplative prayer the, “simple gaze on truth” and St. Teresa of Avila said, “Contemplative prayer in my opinion is nothing else than a close sharing between friends; it means frequently taking time to be alone with Him who we know loves us.” [source]

Vocal prayer is exactly what it sounds like - verbalising out loud. This can be through speaking or singing. 

Some prayers, such as the Rosary, are a combination of mental and vocal prayer. Such as how you vocalise the Hail Mary and the other prayers, while meditating on the mysteries. You can read out loud pre-written prayers, or you can come up with your own.

Don’t worry so much about saying the perfect thing, ultimately it’s about what’s in our heart. 

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. And he who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

- Romans 8:26-27

Some short prayers

Here are ten short prayers that would be good for you to learn:

Hail Mary

Our Father

Glory be

Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel

Help with Depression

Morning prayer

Evening prayer

Prayer to our Guardian Angel

Prayer for perseverance in Faith

The Golden Arrow prayer

Longer prayers

Here are ten longer prayers that you might find beneficial to pray

Little Litany of the Holy Souls

Litany of Humility

Prayer for stronger Faith

Prayer for those that want to believe

Prayer for the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit

Peace prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Prayer to Saint Jude for healing from Depression

Prayer to Saint Padre Pio for anxiety, fear, and worry

Prayer for strength

Prayer in time of suffering

Prayer Challenge

If you’ve never prayed before, or don’t pray regularly, why not give this challenge a try? Pick one or two (or more!) of these prayers and say it each day (or night) for two weeks. You could also try saying a different prayer/s each day depending on what you best feel in that moment.

If you forget a day, don’t worry! You can either say the prayer twice the next day, or you can just add on an extra day. 

I would love to hear your experiences with praying each day for 2 weeks. If you want, you could make this challenge a bit longer and base it around praying every day for a month. 

You don’t have to be Christian to do this, and you don’t have to be 100% certain that praying will do anything for you. But I’d love to hear about your experiences with praying! It can definitely be hard to get started with prayer, but having something clear to work towards and with someone who is more than happy to support you, hopefully this can seem like a less daunting experience. You can do daily / weekly updates and tag me in them so I can read your experiences. 

God bless you on your journey!
