Pray the Novena For Children

As Christians, we are called to love each other with the love that Jesus Christ taught us. At CARITAS For Children, we invite you to join in praying the Novena For Children.

A novena is nine days of prayer usually asking God for a specific intention or cause.  Novena prayers consist of individual and group prayers. In addition to these novena prayers, you can also attend Mass, pray the Rosary, or make other prayers for this intention. Fasting and giving alms through works of charity are another beautiful way to intercede with God for to hear your prayers.

Novenas are a tradition of the Church with roots going back to the Apostles. His disciples spent nine days in prayer after Jesus' ascension into heaven. At the end of the nine days, Jesus sent the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, to change His disciples and the world forever.

It is this tradition that guides us to pray novenas to this day. We pray to Jesus to send us His guidance, to love and protect our children.

Additionally, we are also joined in prayer by our partners, the Brides of the Lamb Sisters. Located in the Kampala Archdiocese in Uganda, the sisters pray without ceasing, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for these and more intentions.

Join us as we pray for the children of the world in advance of the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. CARITAS For Children will send you daily prayers so you can pray this novena with us and the Brides of the Lamb Sisters.
