Fr. Richard Heilman, who organizes the annual 54-Day Novena for Our Nation each summer is now calling for a special 54 Day Rosary novena Monday March 9 – Friday May 1 (St. Joseph the Worker) for our protection and provision in light of the coronavirus. Father is more worried about the panic such a virus could bring to the economy and our communities. His remedy though is nothing new to the Church… In times of turbulence – WE PRAY.
Thus, beginning Monday March 9 and continuing until Friday May 1 (Feast of St. Joseph the Worker) a 54 Day Rosary novena will be prayed to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
This will include a 54 Day Rosary Novena (Immaculate Heart), while adding:
- The Sacred Heart Novena Prayer
- The Memorare to St. Joseph
- Prayer to St. Rocco (patron against diseases and illnesses)
- (if there are any other prayers we will update them here or visit www.usgraceforce.com)
