I have decided to start a 54 day novena today in hopes of sorting something out in my life and getting an answer to a question I have had for almost a year. I ask you, CAF, to keep me honest and help me continue it, I will try to post an update every day.

Note: The reason I am posting this here (in Catholic Living → Spirituality) is because a) the prayer originate out of Catholics and b) it is a prayer, that is something spiritual; please move if this is not the proper place.

All the best. Which novena are you doing?
 
Ok just finished praying it for the first time; I started at 11:52 PM and ended at 12:26 AM.

53 more to go :).
 
Well I “forgot” on Saturday (yesterday)… I knew I had to do it but was dead tired (only 5 hours of sleep) and so took a nap at seven thinking all be able to do it after and I woke up at 1 am so ya… not too happy, pretty disappointed in myself. I will restart again when I wake up in the morning.
 
Well I didn’t really want to pray and kept delaying it, saying to myself “Oh it doesn’t matter if you don’t you can just start again tomorrow”. Well I finally just got myself to it by finally starting, saying to myself “Well if I don’t do it I won’t have anything to post :P”. So I just finished started at 9:56 ended at 10:27. 53 more to go… again 🙂
 
I have prayed the 54 day novena. It was my most desperate time in my life. It was difficult at first but i found a time when i could focus without interruption. I prayed it during my lunch hour during the week and before my family awoke on the weekends. I also was able to find an app on my cell fon that helps keep track of the prayers.
This novena brings you inner peace and calm and hope. I am getting ready to start another one for a different petition. It was a wonderful experience. I recommend it to everyone, the peace it brings into your heart is like nothing else.

If I may ask, was your petition answered, in the way you expected, did you have to restart?
 
52 More to go prayed it from 11:40 PM to 12:25 AM. This one was hard to do, I was dead tired and had to drag myself through it, even falling asleep on in the middle of the fourth sorrowful mystery, but I woke up and complete it :). 52 more to go! 🙂

My petition was answered exactly the way i had expected. It was answered by the 26 day of petition of the novena. During that time i received many signal graces and one of those signs was to pray the novena of the miraculous medal. Another sign was to make a good confession. It was like Mother Mary was talking to me. It was a very moving experience. Also, i did miss a day or two, but i just doubled up the following day. Just keep going.
 
That is awesome and wow I am surprised by how, in at least the way you described it, it was so clear what to do.
 
It was very clear to me what Mother Marys messages were. I also received many signal graces during that time and that brought even more peace and comfort in my heart. I felt like she was holding my hand during this difficult time.
This is the version i used and i printed out the sheet to keep track of what day i was on.

Didn’t mean to get this into ban trouble, sorry everyone… Thank you Dmendoza for your posts and story
 
I am new here and am doing the 54 day miraculous novena (rosary) for the first time. I’m on day 10. I have a desperate request. Would you please remember me in your prayers?
