Why 54 days? A novena is nine days. We are doing three consecutive novenas in petition. (9 days multiplied by 3 equals 27 days). We are then doing three consecutive novenas in thanksgiving. (9 days multiplied by 3 equals 27 days). Twenty-seven times two equals 54. It is a powerful prayer experience. I hope you'll consider joining in for these 54 days.
The thanksgiving portion of the novena kicks off tomorrow. be sure to give God thanks and praise for the blessings in your life!
