Novena is a series of nine s that are said for nine consecutive days. It is a tradition that has been observed in the Catholic Church for many years. Novenas are said for various reasons, such as to seek Divine intervention, for personal growth, and spiritual healing. Each has a specific theme and is usually associated with a particular or event in the life of Jesus Christ.

Today, there are many novenas that have been adapted to modern life and are said by Catholics all around the world. However, there is a particular novena that begins today (September 9th), and it is known as the Novena to St. Teresa of Calcutta.

St. Teresa of Calcutta, also known as Mother Teresa, was a Catholic nun and missionary who dedicated her life to serving the poor and the sick. She was born in Skopje, Macedonia, in 1910 and joined the Sisters of Loreto at the age of 18. She spent many years teaching in India before hearing a call from God to serve the poorest of the poor in the slums of Calcutta.

St. Teresa’s work with the Missionaries of Charity, the religious congregation she founded, gained worldwide attention and recognition for its selfless service to the needy. She received numerous awards and honors, including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. St. Teresa’s life and work continue to inspire many people around the world to this day.

The Novena to St. Teresa of Calcutta is a prayerful reflection on her life and work. It is an excellent way to seek her intercession for the poor and to ask for her guidance in our own work with the less fortunate. The novena begins today, September 9th, and ends on September 17th, the day of St. Teresa’s feast.

The novena consists of nine prayers, one for each day. Each day, Catholics are encouraged to reflect on a particular aspect of St. Teresa’s life and to ask for her intercession. The prayers focus on themes such as humility, charity, service, and love.

The Novena to St. Teresa of Calcutta is a powerful prayer that can inspire us to be better Christians. It reminds us that our faith is not just about attending Mass and receiving sacraments but also about serving others. St. Teresa’s life and work show us that we are called to love others as Christ loves us, especially those who are less fortunate than ourselves.

In conclusion, the Novena to St. Teresa of Calcutta is an excellent opportunity for us to reflect on the life and work of this inspiring woman of faith. We can ask for her intercession and guidance as we seek to serve others and live out our Catholic faith. As we pray this novena, let us be inspired by the example of St. Teresa and strive to live lives of humility, charity, and love.
