Hi guys,
Thank you for another timely topic of Catholicism. I had never heard of the St. Bridget’s 12 year novena. I have a former work friend who was named after St. Bridget.
I cannot believe how fast we are coming to Christmas. I have been doing the St. Andrew novena that started on November 30th and will end December 24th. It is great. I love the novena to the Holy Spirit which cultivates a virtue each of the nine days. I will check that out.
I find it amazing that there are so many novenas out there and that the Blessed Mother takes all our petitions to Jesus. There are so many graces available to God’s children.
Thank you guys!
One question I always have about Novenas…if you mess up and miss a day, is it voided? Do we need to start over?
