Virgin of the Angels, Adolphe-William Bouguereau, 1881

During this holy time of year, we celebrate the birth of our Lord. Praying a novena is a wonderful way to prepare us spiritually to receive Jesus into our hearts. A novena (from the Latin word novem, meaning nine) is a traditional prayer that is said for nine consecutive days. We invite you to join us in this tradition. Every day, from now until December 24, we will post a new reflection on our Facebook page.
