The Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
Today is the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus a novena used by Padre Pio . A novena is usually started nine days before the feast day, but you can do a novena any time. I am one of those people who can never finish a novena . I always forget. I forget to start it. I forget to finish it. I forget days in between. Needless to say, I have stopped trying. This Catholic form of prayer has fascinated me on and off throughout my conversion years. I think the fact that I don't finish says a lot about me unfortunately.
