23 Jan NOVENA
On this anniversary day of the canonization of St. Raphaela Mary and still with a heart full of gratitude for the celebration of the 6th in XX September, as we have already announced on her day, today we, officially launch the Novena to Saint Raphaela Mary.
We rejoice in the knowledge that Saint Raphaela Mary is the focus, the protagonist in the first publication of the Institute that is being posted in 10 languages (Spanish, English, Italian, Portuguese, French, Japanese, Vietnamese, Filipino, Indonesian and Tetun).
As you see, it has the title Novena because it is organized into 9 days which correspond to the main stages in the life of the Saint. However, it is more than a novena in a traditional sense, since it invites us to dedicate serene time for prayer. Each day has 5 points: a brief narration, a text from St. Raphaela, a text from the Gospel, a question for reflection, a final prayer.
