Lasallians around the globe are invited to participate in a 9 day Lasallian Novena for Peace.

A Novena is a form of Catholic prayer that you can do over 9 days or 9 hours. To pray a Novena, recite a specific prayer or series of prayers with an intention in mind. The prayers for this Novena are all related to peace. The format for this Novena is purposely simple. As you pray this Novena, make it your own, for example, you may want to add you a prayer such as the Our Father to conclude the daily Novena prayer. All are welcome to participate in this Novena.

Novena Process

Place yourself in a comfortable setting away from distraction. Optional: Light a candle, play soft meditative music, or use a prayer bowl.
Pause. Take several, deep, cleansing breaths. Remember that you are in the Holy Presence of God.
Read the daily prayer several times, silently or aloud. Breathe deeply. Pause between each reading. Allow the words to resonate in your spirit.
Consider this: How are the words resonating within you? If the words were to live in your heart, enliven your soul, and nourish your spirit, what do you need to affirm or change in your life?
Conclude by giving gratitude for this time knowing that you are “together and by association” in prayer with members of the Lasallian family. Live Jesus in our hearts…forever.
