How to make a Novena to Saint Alexius?
Many people wonder what a novena is. This word novena comes from “novem” which is a Latin word meaning nine, this type of prayer consists of nine days of prayer and meditation, usually to ask God and some saints, also angels, special requests.
Who is Saint Alexius?
Saint Alexius of Rome was born in Rome in the 4th century, the son of Eufemianus and Agale. On his wedding night he renounced marriage to consecrate himself to God and travelled to the city of Edessa. He lived there for 17 years, begging for alms. When he returned to Rome, he was not recognised and continued to beg and teach catechism. He died in 417, at which time his identity was revealed and he was recognised. His basilica is on the Aventine Hill.
What is the novena to St Alexius for?
Novenas are often used to ask specific saints to pray for us. The novena to St Jude, for example, is prayed to ask St Jude Thaddeus to intercede on behalf of a request that seems particularly difficult.
In the case of the novena to St Alexius, it usually works to drive away people, lovers, black magic, etc. However, this type of prayer can be adapted for many things depending on what you need, there is also the novena to St Francis of Assisi which is very powerful.
Novenas are an ancient tradition dating back to the days of the apostles. Jesus told his disciples to pray together after his Ascension, so they went to an upper room with the Blessed Virgin Mary (Acts 1:14) and prayed together for nine days. Learn more about novenas in this video, it explains why you should do them, it also has a lot of other relevant information, enjoy.
These nine days of constant prayer by the apostles under Jesus’ leadership led to Pentecost. This is when the Holy Spirit descended on the disciples as “tongues of fire” (Acts 2:1-4). This pattern of 9 days of prayer is the basis of the novenas we pray today. The novena is therefore an imitation of the Lord’s command to the Apostles when He prayed for 9 days in expectation of the coming of the Holy Spirit.
How do I pray a novena to St Alexius?
All you need to do is to say the daily prayers with a sincere heart. It is not necessary to pray at the same time every day (although you can), nor to fast, nor to pray the rosary in addition to the novena; however, you can do all these things in addition to praying, but they are not necessary. Novenas should not be seen as magical incantations that guarantee desired results. God controls the universe and we certainly do not control God. He is not a genie in a bottle, but a loving Father in heaven.
However, Jesus reminds us in the Gospel that we must be persistent in prayer, and a novena is a great help in this.
What if I miss a day? Okay, if you miss a day, you can choose some of these simple options, each of which will work for you:
1) skip the day you missed from the Novena to St Alexius altogether, 2) say two of the daily prayers on one day, or 3) say the prayer on the day you missed and just be one day behind everyone else.
It’s up to you, and whatever you choose is fine. There are no rules and no consequences – God is forgiving and merciful! So whichever option you choose from the above will be fine.
