Would doing a novena of chaplets in one day, every hour for nine hours be the same as the usual one a day for nine days?

Thanks.
 
I don’t know the answer, but I think it’s a really great question and one that I’ve often thought of myself.

Thanks for asking.

I don’t know about it being the same as the usual one a day for nine days novena, but it is good to be aware that prayer is prayer and if you wish to pray nine chaplets in one day there is nothing to stop you.
 
Thanks for the replies.

Do you think it would be better to start the novena at 3pm or finish the novena at 3pm?

🙂

We started ours at 9PM and ended at 6AM, every hour on the hour. We used the alarm
clock. It was for our sick Great grandson who had an illness that had a 50/50 chance of
taking him that night. The novena was to St. Jude, and the doctors said he didn’t have any problem at all during the night.
 
  1. Quote: “Would doing a novena of chaplets in one day, every hour for nine hours be the same as the usual one a day for nine days?” Unquote. = No! According to The Enchiridion Of Indulgences, a novena is considered to be “work”. A novena prayed for nine hours is not the same as a novena prayed for nine days. The Pentecost Novena in honor of the Holy Spirit, the original novena of the Church, is a good example. If you prayed the complete novena in nine hours, you did not do your nine days of “work”. Having said that, a chaplet is different from a novena, so how can they be the same?

There is no reason why you should not be able to profit from any novena you might want to try out. Even if you chose to finish off the complete novena in nine hours instead of nine days, you will still be praying to God, and that is so much better than not praying at all. Additionally, praying a novena with no specific intention of Indulgences, but merely for the love of God is a beautiful and pure motivation.

I understand that the normal novena is nine days, and it might be nine first fridays as in the case of the First Friday Novena. But in my case, my great grandchild might have died that very night according to the doctor, and it was that critical. I didn’t have the option of
waiting for nine days, and I wasn’t interested in the inidulgences, but just the welfare of
my great grandchild that night.

We have prayed the novena to St. Jude before and St. Jude came thru for us. I can only
sing about his kindness and is a wonderful man who heard our prayers for that tiny little
baby. I am so greatful that our dear Lord has picked so many find people for us to know and to assist us. He certainly is a man with a big heart.

Dear Loving and Compassionate God,
Giver of all gifts,
we pray especially today
for the mercy and love You give us.

Open our hearts and minds to You.

Give us the grace to accept your mercy.

As we live each day,
we pray for those less fortunate,
especially those who are hurting,
and whose wounds need to be healed.

Help us become involved in ways
that show them how deeply we care.

Give us the personal courage
to listen to their concerns
and help them find the solutions
to which they are entitled
as Your children
and our brothers and sisters. Amen.

Immaculate Heart of Mary,
cause of our joy, pray for us!

Holy Guardian Angels,
be always with us,
guide and protect us!

Glory be to the Father and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
