The Assumption Novena begins
August 6th. and ends August 14th.
The Franciscans of the Immaculate filmed a nine-day short series for the Novena. In five minutes Father Peter Damian Fehlner, Rector of the
Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe and a distinguished Marian theologian, gives a quick little talk about an aspect of the Assumption and then recites the Novena prayer. It is fast and accessible way to learn a bit more theology and to make a devotion to Our Blessed Mother. Everyday a new exhortation is done by Father Peter. It is a very good series that would capture the attention and heart of the young.
There is so much need for prayer, for God’s grace and blessing in these difficult times; for family, for loved ones, for World Youth Days, end to abortion, contraception, etc.. Let us take this powerful opportunity to implore Our Mother to help us in our greatest needs.
I put a pdf of the Novena prayer here. I'm not exactly sure where the videos will be posted but I'll post Day 1 once it's available.
