Meditation Novenas

When God Seems Hidden

A Meditation Novena in the Footsteps of St. Thérèse

The experience of not seeing Christ or of feeling distant from Christ can be one that affects all of us. We wonder, ‘why is Jesus keeping his face from me?’ or ‘I feel forgotten!’. These are real sensations that we can experience. It isn’t immediately easy to understand or comprehend what is happening to us or within us. Yet, the Lord allows all for a purpose.

Using stories, Scripture, and St Thérèse of Lisieux’s Story of a Soul, this novena of meditations is meant to strengthen the spiritual muscles of our faith and trust in God’s providence, mercy, and loving friendship.

Journey with a Father’s Heart

Pope Francis has dedicated this year to St. Joseph. Join us in a Meditation Novena to prepare for the feast of St. Joseph.

Written by Teresa Williams, CRC, these nine daily meditations will pull text from Pope Francis’s Apostolic Letter: Patris Corde (With the Father’s Heart). Each day will include the text, a short meditation, and a prayer.

A Divine Mercy Meditation Novena

The Divine Mercy Meditation Novena will be a nine-day journey into the history, spirituality, and necessity of the well-known Divine Mercy image and devotion. 

The novena features the original artwork and spiritual reflections on the image of Divine Mercy by Fr. Michael Mitchell, LC.   This novena will slowly reveal the image of Divine Mercy and bring the painting of the merciful Jesus to life. You would typically pray this novena for nine days beginning on Good Friday and concluding with Divine Mercy Sunday.

Join us on a truly unique experience of the gift of God’s mercy in your own life journey!

Living in the Spirit: A Pentecost Meditation Novena

Living in the Spirit: A Pentecost Meditation Novena is designed to help you delve deeper into the central mysteries of the Holy Spirit. Who is the Holy Spirit for me? How do I relate and experience his presence? How has the Holy Spirit impacted my life? What advice would I share to help someone grow in a relationship with the Holy Spirit? 

It will be a powerful opportunity to ponder the mystery of God’s action in the events of our lives and to ask for the light, strength, and love we so sorely need as Christians.

Behold This Heart
