Nine Days

We have asked Blessed Dina Belanger for her intercession.

We have asked St. Padre Pio and St. Therese for their intercession.

We have even asked St. Monica to pray.

And now, in just three days, we will ask another saint to lift our petitions to the Throne of Grace. We will look to St. Teresa of Avila, my patron saint, to step into the gap as well - to raise her voice with these other saints and to pray to the Lord Our God for answered prayer.

The disciples, along with the Blessed Mother, gathered together for nine days and prayed - beginning on the day of Our Lord's Ascension and ending on the day when the Gift of the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost. Nine days of prayer. Nine days that ushered in the birth of the Church and changed the face of the earth forever. Lord, hear our prayers . . .
