Common questions
Can I pray at any time of day?
Yes. Choose a realistic time and pray attentively. Keeping the same time helps, but it is not required.
I missed a day. Do I need to start over?
Not necessarily. Resume where you stopped and continue calmly.
Can I pray for another person?
Yes. Present that person to God and pray with trust, always respecting freedom and God's will.
Can I present more than one intention?
Yes. If it helps, choose one main intention and place the others with it at the beginning of prayer.
Do I have to pray the novena on exactly 9 consecutive days?
The ideal is to pray for 9 consecutive days, but if there is an interruption, resume without turning it into a burden.
