Novena in Honor of St. Paul of the Cross

Posted on October 3, 2011 by

St. Paul of the Cross

You are invited to join the Passionists in preparing for the feast of St. Paul of the Cross by praying our on-line novena.

A novena, a nine day prayer, is a way of praying with perseverance, modeled after the nine days period the apostles prayed after Pentecost. Each day, beginning on October 11, there will be a reflection on some aspect of the life or spirituality of St. Paul of the Cross by a noted Passionist. The novena prayers, with a special prayer for each day are already available in an e-booklet at Passionist Daily Reflections.

Watch for the novena beginning on October 11 at: Passionist Daily Reflections.

We hope you will join the Passionist Community for these special days of prayer.

Every true prayer is a prayer of the Church; by means of that prayer the Church prays, since it is the Holy Spirit living in the Church, Who in every single soul ‘prays in us with unspeakable groanings’.
