Novena Prayers cont..

Dear Johan, My mother used to drag us to novenas when we were young. Whatever happened to them? They seem to have disappeared. Gentle Reader, I grew up with them too. The ones I remember the best is the novena to St. An-thony, the Wonderworker. My grandmother had a great de-votion to St. Anthony and was in regular need of his help with lost items. At her instigation my father took my brother and me to our local Franciscan friary for the yearly novena of St. Anthony. This meant that for nine Tuesdays leading up to the feast of St. Anthony on June 13, the day of his dies natalis or the day of his birth into heaven, we went to early morning Mass with the friars. I don’t remember much about what we did except that we attended Mass, prayed a special prayer, and brought white lilies, which I was told were St. Anthony’s favorite flowers. As a treat we had breakfast at my grand-mother’s home rather than ours. The word novena comes from the Latin word novem, mean-ing nine. Thus a novena is a series of nine days on which one prays for a specific need. Usually these are nine consecutive days. So, the novena for the gifts of the Holy Spirit, for ex-ample, is prayed on the nine days leading up to Pentecost, starting on the Friday of the sixth week of Easter and ending on the Saturday of the seventh week of Easter. In those churches that still celebrate the Ascension of the Lord on the Thursday between the sixth and seventh Sundays of Easter, the novena for the gifts of the Holy Spirit is prayed on the nine days between Ascension Thursday and Pentecost Sun-day. A novena can also be prayed on the same day of the week for nine consecutive weeks. This is the case with the novena of St. Anthony. Like many other traditional devo-tions, novenas have largely fallen to the wayside in the West-ern world. Thankfully, in other parts of the world these and other devotions are practiced with great fervor. New immi-grants often bring these with them and thus they are gradu-ally being reintroduced in parts of the church where they are dormant. So, if you miss praying novenas, why don’t you go in search for one or, better yet, maybe your pastor might be willing to start one. I would start slowly by suggesting a no-vena for the gifts of the Holy Spirit. How could he say no?

Fourth Sunday of Easter

Jesus’ claim to be true to the shepherd, the only pas-tor, has nothing idyllic about it. It completes his break with mercenary religious leaders in whose eyes the sheep matter little. “I myself will pasture my sheep; I myself will give them rest, says the Lord God. The lost I will seek out, the strayed I will bring back, the in-jured I will bind up, the sick I will heal, shepherding them rightly.” (Ezek 34: 15-16) This is God’s way of acting, and the way of Christ, who gave his life for those the Father entrusted to him. Many do not appreciate being compared to a flock of sheep. Nevertheless, the image of the sheep sug-gests clearly what are: defenseless before the ravaging wolf. Of all creatures, sheep possess the weakest sense of direction. So they entrust themselves by in-stinct to their shepherd to defend and guide them.

Novena Prayers

Dear Parishioner,

Here is another odd phenomena as a result of pietistic ignorance which most parish priests have to deal with. It is common to find littering the church copies of novena like prayers for special prayer re-quests. Current copies found in our Shrine of the Lit-tle Flower placed the weekend of Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord detailed the follow-ing: POWERFUL PRAYER OF PETITION, Blessed be the Sacred Heart of Jesus! Blessed be the Immacu-late Heart of Mary! Blessed be St. Jude Thad-deus! Thoughout the World for all Eternity. Say one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and make 81 copies of this novena. Leave 9 copies in 9 churches and ask for our petition. Before the nine days are up your petition will be granted. Before the nine days are up NO MATTER HOW DIFFCULT! P.S. DON’T FORGET TO THANK GOD. Again, People, let us be smart and educated Catholics and not drawn to such pietistic superstition. Novena Prayers are an ancient and beautiful tradition in the Church but where this beau-tiful prayer forms becomes warped is through the above style of praying to God and the Saint. Leave 9 copies in 9 churches—thank goodness for the inven-tion of photocopy machines, eh? I suppose before the advent of photocopy machines a person needed to copy by hand with pen and paper the prayers—perhaps this form helped them truly become closer to the Most Holy One. I know whenever I find this sort of photocopied ignorant dribble in or church, left on back pews or hidden, I personally tear them in half and discard them in the refuse bins OUTSIDE THE CHURCH BUILDING! Let us not confuse this super-stition style of making 81 photocopies with the noble tradition of novenas—following is an excerpt from a friend’s book What’s the Smoke For? by Johan van Parys:

Now Enrolling! St. Therese Catholic School has been fostering faith, service and learning since 1947. We offer academic programs for Pre-school to 8th grade. We are conveniently located in the North
