How to do the Novena

The Novena consists of:

• five decades of the Rosary each day for twenty-seven days in petition;
  
• then immediately five decades each day for twenty-seven days in thanksgiving, whether or not the request has been granted.

The meditations vary from day to day. Now with the new mysteries the table is changed. On the first day meditate on the Joyful Mysteries; on the second day the sorrowful Mysteries; on the third day the glorious Mysteries; and so on throughout the fifty-four days.

A laborious Novena, but a Novena of Love. You who are sincere will not find it too difficult, if you really wish to obtain your request.
