1. Bring an intention
You may pray for another person, give thanks, ask for help, or simply seek to grow closer to God. You do not need to make your intention public.
2. Choose a devotion
Read the prayer's instructions. Some novenas use a different prayer each day; others repeat the same prayer. Some devotions have a duration other than nine days.
3. Keep a simple rhythm
Choose a time you can return to. Set your start date on a novena page and mark the days as you pray. You can download a calendar file to import into your own calendar app.
4. Pray with trust
A novena is not a formula that guarantees a result. Bring your needs to God and remain open to his will. If you miss a day, return to prayer without fear or discouragement.
