@ Didov1 & Bloodofthelamb
Thanks for your comments and replies. Lets me start by reminding you all that this thread is not a religion batttleground nor is it an argumentative ground. I created this thread basically for following and praying Novena which I've took time to explain above. Its a free world, if one wish to follow. Then do and if not, then ignored.
I do not want the purpose of this thread to be defeated and not achieve its aim- prayers
So I hope you will respect my decision.
THANKS AND MAY THE PEACE OF GOD BE WITH YOU

bloodofthelamb:
OK SIR, BUT I HOPE YOU WILL COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH SOMEDAY...SHALOM!

Thanks for your concern

_

1⃣ *THE FIRST NOVENA* is to *ST. TERESA OF AVILA*

� She was born before the Protestant Reformation and died almost 20 years after the closing of the Council of Trent.

� She was the originator of the Carmelite Reform, which restored and emphasized the austerity and contemplative character of primitive Carmelite life.

� Her writings on prayer and contemplation are drawn from her experience: powerful, practical, and graceful.

� She was a woman of prayer; a woman for God. Her writings, especially the Way of Perfection and The Interior Castle, have helped generations of believers.

� In 1970, the Church gave her the title: Doctor of the Church.

� The *FEAST DAY* of *ST. TERESA OF AVILA* is *OCTOBER 15*.

� We will begin praying the above novena � on *FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6*!
_

2⃣ *THE SECOND NOVENA* is to *ST. MARGARET MARY ALACOQUE*

♦ From early childhood, Margaret was described as showing intense love for the Blessed Sacrament, and as preferring silence and prayer to childhood play.

♦ After her First Communion at the age of nine, she practised in secret severe corporal mortification, until rheumatic fever confined her to bed for four years.

♦ At the end of this period, having made a vow to the Blessed Virgin to consecrate herself to religious life, she was instantly restored to perfect health.

♦ From the time she was twenty, she experienced visions of Christ, and on December 27, 1673, she began a series of revelations that were to continue over the next year and a half.

♦ Christ informed her that she was His chosen instrument to spread devotion to His Sacred Heart, the Nine Fridays and the Holy Hour, and asked that the feast of the Sacred Heart be established.

♦ The *FEAST DAY* of *ST. MARGARET MARY ALACOQUE* is *OCTOBER 16*.

♦ We will begin praying the above novena � on *SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7*!

_�*PRAYING UNCEASINGLY IS THE KEY OF ALL IN GOD'S FAITH.GOD ANSWERS OUR INTENTIONS ANYTIME WITHOUT NOTICE.HAVE FAITH ALWAYS*

[5:24am, 9/27/2017] ‪+263 73 843 0699‬: *Wednesday, September 27, 2017 >> St. Vincent de Paul*
Ezra 9:5-9
Tobit 13:2-4, 7-8
Luke 9:1-6

*DEALING WITH REJECTION*

*"And as for those who do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake the dust from your feet in testimony against them.” Luke 9:5*

This is a bold statement from Jesus. It’s also a statement that should bolden us in the face of opposition.

Jesus had just finished telling His disciples to go from town to town preaching the Gospel. He instructed them not to bring extra food or clothing on the journey but, rather, to rely upon the generosity of those to whom they preach. And He acknowledged that some will not accept them. As for those who do in fact reject them and their message, they are to “shake the dust “ from their feet as they leave the town.

What does this mean? It especially tells us two things. First, when we are rejected it can hurt. As a result, it’s easy for us to sulk and stew over the rejection and hurt. It’s easy to sit and be angry and, as a result, to allow the rejection to do us even more damage.

Shaking the dust from our feet is a way of saying that we ought not allow the hurt we receive to affect us. It’s a way of making a clear statement that we will not be controlled by the opinions and malice of others. This is an important choice to make in life when facing rejection.

Secondly, it’s a way of saying that we must keep moving on. Not only do we have to get over any hurt we have, but we need to then move on to seek out those who will receive our love and our message of the Gospel. So, in a sense, this exhortation from Jesus is not first about dealing with the rejection of others; rather, it’s primarily about seeking out those who will receive us and will receive the message of the Gospel we are called to give.

Reflect, today, upon any hurt you still carry in your heart because of the rejection of others. Try to let go of it and know that God is calling you to seek out others in love so that you can share the love of Christ with them.

*Prayer*: Lord, when I experience rejection and hurt, help me to let go of any anger I have. Help me to continue with my mission of love and to keep sharing Your Gospel with those who will receive it. Jesus, I trust in You

3⃣ *OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY*.
This Feast day is celebrated on *OCTOBER 7th*!
� The Blessed Virgin Mary promised to Saint Dominic and to all who follow that "Whatever you ask in the Rosary will be granted."
� The purpose of the Rosary is to help us meditate on the great mysteries of our salvation.
�The main focus is on Jesus – his birth, life, death and resurrection.
�The *Our Fathers* remind us that Jesus' Father is the initiator of salvation.
�The *Hail Marys* remind us to join with Mary in contemplating these mysteries. They also make us aware that Mary was and is intimately joined with her Son in all the mysteries of his earthly and heavenly existence.
�The *Glory Be...* remind us that the purpose of all life is the glory of the Trinity.
� The Rosary, though clearly Marian in character, is at heart a Christ-centered prayer. It has all the depth of the gospel message in its entirety.
�It is an echo of the prayer of Mary, her perennial Magnificat for the work of the redemptive Incarnation which began in her virginal womb....
�We will start *PRAYING* this *NOVENA* on *THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28th*
*WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO PRAYING WITH ME AND FOR YOU.* �

Day One
St. Francis, as you left a comfortable life to lead a life of poverty and service to our Lord Jesus Christ, we ask you to pray that we also realize the folly of seeking to amass material gains and experience worldly pleasures. This day I humbly forego (_____) as an offering to God our Father, hoping this act signals a start of my conversion.
Concluding Prayer
St. Francis, help us in praying for the grace to truly repent for our sins and actively seek reconciliation with God. May the blessings we obtain through your intercession deepen our faith, and inspire us to store treasures in Heaven, where we hope to spend eternity with the Almighty Father.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and forever shall be, world without end. Amen
St. Francis of Assisi, Pray for us!
