A novena is a tradition in the Catholic Church where the faithful pray for a special intention over the course of nine days. Traditionally, the novena is modeled after the nine days the the apostles stayed together after the Ascension of Jesus “devot(ing) themselves with one accord to prayer” (Acts 1:14). On the 10th day, the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples, as promised by Christ, at Pentecost. Just as the apostles praised God at Pentecost, it is appropriate to say a prayer of Thanksgiving on the 10th Day, usually a day on which the novena’s intention holds significant value, such as a feast day of the sain petitioned, and in this case the Ordination of Bishop-elect Edward M. Lohse. Please join in praying the following prayer daily for Bishop-elect Lohse.
