At the heart of Novenas for the Church Year is a collection of nearly 60 original Novenas that you can use to feed your soul as you commemorate an astounding variety of holy souls and holy days.
The novena (from the Latin novem, "nine," and noveni, "nine at a time") is a period of public or private prayer lasting nine days, symbolizing the time between Christ\'s Ascension and Pentecost, during which Mary and the Apostles awaited the coming of the Holy Spirit.
