Novena (from novem, nine)
Novena is a nine days devotion to obtain graces from God.

i went for the novena devotion to our mother of perpetual help every saturday and i've juz came back from novena church for the devotion wif meixia.

there are many pictures of our mother of perpetual help around the world. it is one of the most popular pictures that the catholic use to venerate our mother, the blessed virgin mary. being christian, honouring mary is important.. as we were told by God in the 4th commandment to "honour your father and mother". mary look pretty sad in the icon of our mother of perpetual help. some may find it scary. this icons shows how we can find refuge, just as Jesus find refuge when he was an infant.

mary is so close to her divine son rite now. in the bible, we can see how close relationship of mary and jesus. jesus' human nature is from His human mother, mary of nazareth. praying through mary is asking mary to pray for us as she is so near to jesus. mary has never failed to pray for us, just as God has never failed to answer our prayers.

i enjoy going to the church of st. alphonsus (novena church) for novena... to see how the devotion of both catholics and non-catholics to our lady and the faith in God.. and the thanksgiving letter that the church receive each week. although the temporary church of st. alphonsus may be small and humid (no air-con), i love to see the devouts sitting on the floor and crowding around the icon of our mother of perpetual help..it really gives me a feelg of the mother-and -child relationship between mary and the ppl.

mary is not only the mother of christians, but oso the mother of all ppl.

Prayer of Confidence
Mother of Perpetual Help,
we come to you and place our trust in you.
You are a Mother of mercy.
You are called by all the refuge and the hope of sinners;
be then our refuge and our hope.
Help us for the love our Jesus Christ.
Stretch out your hands to us poor sinners.
We bless and thank God for giving us this confidence in you.
In the past, we have so often sinned but with your help,
we can conquer,and you will help us if we pray to you.
In all our temptations, may we always turn to you and say:
Mary help me!
Let me never lose my God
Amen.
