From August 15 until Oct 7, the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Let us join in prayer for our country, especially for the conversion of America. From
Roman Catholic Man:
The novena consists of five decades of the Rosary (one set of
mysteries) each day for twenty-seven days in petition; then immediately
five decades each day for an additional twenty-seven days in
thanksgiving, regardless of whether or not the request has been granted
yet. So began six novenas of Rosaries — which became known as the 54-day Rosary Novena. To do the novena properly — one must pray the Rosary for 54
consecutive days, without missing a day, and must pray the particular
Mystery indicated for that day following the correct sequence. That is, the first day of the novena always begins with the Joyful
Mysteries (regardless of what day of the week the novena is started);
the second day, the Sorrowful Mysteries are prayed; and the third day of
the novena, the Glorious Mysteries are prayed. The fourth day of the novena begins again with the Joyful Mysteries
and continues on in that sequence throughout the 54 days of the novena...(Read more.)
