Beloved: First of all, I ask that supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be offered for everyone, for kings and for all in authority, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all devotion and dignity. This is good and pleasing to God our savior, who wills everyone to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth. For there is one God.
For this I was appointed preacher and apostle – I am speaking the truth, I am not lying – teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. It is my wish, then, that in every place the men should pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or argument.

1 Tim 2 : 1-5, 7

hugs n’ blessings good and faithful servant, rest now in eternal peace.

hugs n’ blessings for the Truth which sets us free!

(Genesis 2:4-3:24)

Today is the Feast day of one of the most beloved of modern saints, Mother Teresa. Mother Teresa was an Albanian nun and missionary. She was born in Skopje (modern Republic of Macedonia), then part of the Kosovo Vilayet in the Ottoman Empire. After leaving Macedonia she moved to Ireland and then to India, where she lived for most of her life.

Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, a religious congregation, which in 2012 consisted of over 4,500 sisters and was active in 133 countries. The sisters run hospices and homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis; soup kitchens; dispensaries and mobile clinics’ children’s and family counseling programs; orphanages; and schools.

These past 9 days I have been immersed in a Novena prayer directed to God inviting Saint Mother Teresa to intercede for my special intentions. This practice is rooted in early Christianity, where it is believed that the Apostles prayed for nine days leading up to Pentecost.

How is a Novena Prayed?
