The Novena to Saint Peregrine Laziosi —Servite friar of the 13th century and patron of those suffering from cancer, tumors, and chronic illnesses— recalls his conversion, his life of penance, and the miraculous healing of the cancerous sore he had on his leg. During these nine days, the faithful join in the example of trust and surrender of Saint Peregrine, asking for his powerful intercession to obtain health of the body and, above all, healing of the soul, accepting God's will with peace and hope.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel —Patroness of the People of the Sea, the Carmelites, and the Scapular— is honored on July 16. This novena, prayed from July 7 to 15, recalls Mary's maternal protection, her promise of the Scapular, and her constant intercession. With her, we ask to attain the grace to live in friendship with God and to persevere until reaching the mountain of eternity.
Twilight walk with the disciples of Emmaus. A stranger explains the Scriptures, hospitality opens the door, and in the broken bread the heart burns. Ideal for ending the day with comfort.

Traditional novena in honor of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, proclaiming that she was preserved from all stain of original sin from her conception.

The Novena to Saint Therese of the Child Jesus —the "Little Flower" of Lisieux (1873-1897), Doctor of the Church and universal patroness of missions— introduces the faithful to the path of spiritual childhood: becoming small before God, surrendering with absolute trust, and offering ordinary acts with extraordinary love. Her promise to "spend heaven doing good on earth" and to shower a "rain of roses" has inspired countless graces. Over nine days, the virtues of Therese are meditated upon, her intercession is implored, and the grace to love Jesus with simplicity and missionary zeal is requested.
The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Juan Diego on the hill of Tepeyac (Mexico) from December 9 to 12, 1531, leaving her image imprinted on the tilma and offering comfort and hope to the entire American continent.

Thanksgiving to God for the gift of our loved ones.
