This Novena, prayed for nine consecutive days takes an in-depth look at the attributes of the Holy Family and discusses how we can model those characteristics in our daily lives. Each of the nine days is comprised of four steps: open with the sign of the Cross, an act of contrition, a daily meditation, and a close with the sign of the cross. This Novena can be completed as individuals, couples, or as a family unit at any point throughout the year, often in preparation for a feast day.
