I have a wonderful little book on Novenas***, Treasury of Novenas***, with novenas to Sts., novenas for Feast Days, novenas for special intentions, etc. However, it does not have a “How To” section. My question is this, “Do you start a Novena the 9 days before a feast day or do you start on the feast day and proceed for 9 days?” I would favor the former since Mary & the Apostles prayed for 9 days before the Holy Spirit decended.

Also, do you have a favorite novena? Share please.
 
I believe you can do 9 days before or after the feast day. It might depend for certain novenas. Regardless, God will still hear your prayers. You can also pray novenas even if the Saint’s feast day is not coming up.
