Happy Feast Day to the parish of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in O'Fallon, Missouri. May you experience an abundance of God's grace through the intercession of our Blessed Mother on this day and always!
The 54 Day Rosary Novena has become a favorite prayer of mine in recent years. I have found it to be quite powerful and it renews my prayer life substantially. A novena is nine days of prayer. The 54 Day Rosary Novena is simply six consecutive novenas in a row. The first three novenas are prayed in a spirit of petition. These 27 days (9 days x 3) focus on the intentions for which we are praying. The next three novenas focus on thanksgiving. These 27 days (9 days x 3) are offered in gratitude whether or not we have seen an answer to our petitions. We are trusting God's providence and moving forward in gratitude. Thus, we pray for a total of 54 days.
The novena starts today on the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It ends on October 7. That date lands on a Sunday this year and we will be celebrating the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time. However, it would typically be a day we celebrate Our Lady of the Rosary. The timing for this novena to begin and end on a Marian Feast Day makes this a perfect spot to offer the 54 day novena. I invite you to do this. You will not be disappointed.
