Double posting for the sake of Our Lady of Guadalupe
Laura DeMaria
Friends, I learned something interesting yesterday, and that is if you started a novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe - whose feast day is December 12 - you would be able to pray it four times exactly between yesterday and that date.
You may be asking yourself, why on earth would I pray that four times? What are you, casting a spell? Should I hop on one leg while I’m at it? Well, the answer is, our country needs prayer. It needs consistent, faithful, strong, devout prayer, to one of our most powerful intercessors, Our Lady. That is what I think, anyway.
She is seen more as the intercessor and protector of Mexico, but I think she has a special fondness for us up here in the US. And she says, “Am I not here, who am your mother?
So below is the schedule you would do, starting with yesterday:
Saturday, November 7-Sunday, November 15
Monday, November 16-Tuesday, November 24
Wednesday, November 25-Thursday, December 3
Friday, December 4-Saturday, December 12 (Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe)
Now obvs, it is a day after yesterday, and so maybe you just want to start officially November 17. But - go ahead and begin praying for her intercession now. We need it.
Here is what I am using, but if you google “Our Lady of Guadalupe novena,” you will find plenty of options.
I recommend printing it out and putting it where you normally pray, or on your bedside table so you see it first thing before waking or going to sleep. I would not remember if I just kept it in my phone and had to recall on my own to pray (thus why a ministry like Pray More Novenas exists).
Enjoy below some pictures I have taken of her over the years.
