Novenas

[DarthFurg]

ok so im kinda new to the whole novena thing. if you dont say it EXACTLY in the right order does it not work? i dont mean you mixed up the day, i mean saying the prayers of the day in the wrong order. Also, can you request a bunch of things in a novena or just one?

It isn’t the order of prayers you say, but your faith in making the novena that is pleasing to God. That’s the one problem with novenas - one can get too caught up in worrying about saying it exactly right as if that’s what answers the prayers. I’ve been guilty of this myself. Just have faith in God and desire his Will when you make it

Also, can you request a bunch of things in a novena or just one?

I think it’s fine to make more than one request, but I usually make separate novenas for each intention I make. I don’t know if there’s really any rule to this, but I doubt it.

Remember - Faith is what makes our novenas efficacious.
