WHAT’S NEW

Novena to St. Lucy
The “Novena to St. Stephen” honors the first Christian martyr who forgave his persecutors even as they stoned him to death. This powerful nine-day prayer seeks St. Stephen’s intercession for the grace to forgive enemies, courage in times of trial, and strength to boldly witness to the faith. Traditionally prayed before his feast day on December 26th, this novena is especially meaningful for those facing persecution, struggling to forgive others, or needing courage to stand firm in their faith.
Prayer for Protection from Sudden Death
The “Prayer for Protection from Sudden Death” draws inspiration from St. Francis de Sales, Doctor of the Church, who taught believers to “keep death before our eyes” while trusting completely in God’s mercy. This prayer asks for the grace to live each day prepared to meet God, to receive the sacraments frequently, and to practice daily “dying to self” so that death may come as a friend rather than a stranger. It invokes the intercession of Our Blessed Mother, St. Joseph (patron of a happy death), and our guardian angels, while begging for the grace of final perseverance and a death precious in God’s sight, whenever and however it may come.
