9 Days with 9 Women Saints to be a Modern Saint!

Pray and be inspired with women's saints to grow in the Trust of God that inspired their lives.

5 shares

Women, known and unknown, have sustained faith communities since the birth of Christ. Christianity came to be because of one woman's trust in God. The faithfulness of Mary's fiat has been manifested in the lives of the women saints that are at the heart of this Novena. 

Over the next nine days we will be praying alongside women saints recognised as Doctors of the Church for their deeply theological understanding of God such as Hildegard of Bingen, Catherine of Siena, and Teresa of Avila, and we will come to know less well known women saints such as Catherine de Ricci and Julian of Norwich. 

May all that pray with it grow in trust of God and through it deepen their relationships with our Saviour.

Prayer from the novena

Prayer to the Holy Spirit by Mother Margaret Hallahan

Come, Holy Spirit! Come, and with thee bring forbearance, docility, kindness, and deference. Come, oh come, Holy Spirit of God! And fill our souls with all that can make us dear to thee, to each other, and to all creature for the love of thee. Amen. * Mother Margaret Hallahan founded the Dominican Congregation of St Catherine of Siena
