"The Prayer of Gratitude" | Summer Novena of Hope 2024: Jesus Teaches Us to Pray | 7-8-2024

Welcome to the 2024 Summer Novena of Hope from the Basilica Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Each Monday from July 1 through Aug. 26, we will broadcast our 12:05 p.m. (Eastern USA) Novena and Holy Mass on this RUclips channel, and we will contemplate the theme, “Jesus Teaches Us to Pray,” with the Vincentians of the Eastern Province, USA, and our Miraculous Medal Family.
We invite you to join us in person or online each week to experience Our Lady’s Novena prayer, a tradition unbroken since Dec. 8, 1930.
Today’s homily, “The Prayer of Gratitude,” is presented by Fr. John Kettelberger, CM.
Our Mass and Novena are brought to Catholics worldwide thanks to your generosity. Please help us continue our mission and spread devotion to the Blessed Mother by donating to our virtual collection basket: miraculousmeda...
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
Below is an Act of Spiritual Communion that you can make during Holy Communion: My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
