9. Novena! Nine days of prayers for a specific intention or within a specific devotion.
Novenas are a long standing devotion in our Church owing its history to the nine days the Blessed Mother and apostles prayed and waiting in the upper room for the descent of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 1:12-14: When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
There are several choices for your Fatima novena. Head over to Pray More Novenas or America Needs Fatima or a favorite site you already know to make your home into its own Upper Room. Ask the Lord and His Mother to renew in all of us a devotion to the messages she imparted when she first came: Message of Fatima.
