Novena to the Divine Child Jesus
Journey through nine days of powerful prayer, seeking the blessings of the Divine Child Jesus and drawing closer to God's infinite love and mercy.
Begin Day 1What is a Novena?
A novena is a powerful Catholic tradition of prayer spanning nine consecutive days. The practice originated from the nine days that the Apostles and Mary spent in prayer between Jesus' Ascension and Pentecost.
When we pray a novena, we dedicate ourselves to persistent prayer, trusting in God's timing and the intercession of the saints. It's a beautiful way to deepen our faith and seek divine assistance for our intentions.
