Novena to St Francis of Assisi

Novenas are a way of talking to the saints in the form of a prayer. We can make various requests to improve our lives or the lives of our loved ones. In the case of the novena to St Francis of Assisi, we focus on helping our pets, as we all know that these creatures are an important part of the family, so we pray for them.

How do you pray the novena to St Francis of Assisi?

Praying a novena is not something that can be learnt in a few minutes. That is why it is important to know the steps to follow when praying a prayer to a saint. Often we make mistakes, but today we bring you a series of tricks to make a good novena to St Francis of Assisi.

 

  • Be patient. Don’t expect your miracles to happen overnight. God’s timing is perfect, so be calm and leave everything in the hands of the Lord.
  • Organise your time. There is nothing worse than praying a novena against the clock, the mistake of being in a hurry when praying is quite common, but by organising your time and agenda you will be able to concentrate more on your prayer.
  • Have faith, without which nothing will work. Remember that God is the one who has the power to help you or not, so do not be confused and let yourself be guided by the Word of the Lord.
