A novena is an ancient prayer tradition. It comes from the Latin word novem, meaning "nine," and each novena consists of nine prayers. Each day for nine days, you say a new prayer and meditate on the prayer's intention. Novenas invite long-term focus on a single issue, and can help the faithful better understand the needs of the church.
Our Novena to End Abortion asks us to consider all those affected by abortion - from the children who were sacrificed, to the medical professionals who provided the abortion. We invite you to pray the Novena to End Abortion, and understand more deeply how we are called as Catholics to defend life from conception to natural death.
