Sometimes We Need a Reminder!
Have you ever started praying a novena only to forget to pray it after a few days?
This used to happen to me all the time!
I started this website to help me and you to remember to pray all 9 days of the novena prayers. I do this by sending you email reminders with the novena prayers right in the body of the email.
Now, if you’re like me, you check your email every day. So, when you’re checking your email, you will be reminded to get praying!
It turns out that I’m not the only one who needs reminding… So far, several thousand people have joined in praying novenas with the help of these little reminders!
You can get your own reminder and pray together with thousands of others by signing up here:
About Me
Hi there, my name is John-Paul Deddens. I’m just a regular Catholic guy.
I work full-time in the pro-life movement as the director of a non-profit that I started. So, by day I save lives, by night I remind you to pray!
I started this site because I wanted to pray more novenas, but I would constantly forget to do it on the right days.
It got to the point where I would not pray novenas because I didn’t think it was worth starting and not finishing. I realized that this was a problem when…
A while back, my girlfriend (now she’s my wife!) asked me to pray the Immaculate Conception Novena with her. I declined because I knew I would forget to pray everyday.
As I thought about my response, I realized that it really wasn’t good enough and I set out to create something to help me to remember to pray.
And PrayMoreNovenas.com was born!
A lot of prayers have been answered and God has blessed this community. I hope you will join us!

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to beg God for forgiveness. right now am in the hospital, crying day and night begging God for forgiveness because. It is due to my sins that’s why am been punished. Am pregnant and found with placenta previa. am asking all of u here to please join your prayers with mine,for God to make the placenta migrate from its present state to where its suppose to be,and also for me to deliver my baby safely without complications. I know God is ever merciful. Amen.
God loves you and He’s not punishing you, just asking you to join in His sufferings in a special way.
Keep talking to God and asking Him for the safe delivery of your baby but also ask Him for peace in your soul.
I’m praying for you too.
Thank you all the Saints for prayers answered.

Saints!

Novena’s

Pls pray for my family especially my 9 yr old son whom I left in my country. I am working abroad because my husband is jobless. It’s the most very difficult decision I’ve made. A mom who loves her son so dearly is not supposed to leave her son, but if my husband is not capable, I am willing to sacrifice just for the sake of my son..I’m crying everyday and I ask God’s mercy and guidance each day..Never easy to be away from them..I pray that my husband will have the will to find another job again..God bless us all.
I just wanted to let you know I enjoy receiving your emails. The only novena I have ever said regularly, and I’ve been doing it for a few years, is the Divine Mercy Novena. I like it because it prays for everyone, I have a pamphlet with the prayers at my kitchen table where I say it first thing in the morning. Now if I forget, I’m on the computer after breakfast and I read my emails first, so it’s a good reminder, and I did, in fact, use the email prayer several times.
Maybe I’ll get in the habit of saying frequent novenas, but even if I don’t, a gentle and Godly reminder daily puts me in a prayerful mood. So thank you for all your work, which I didn’t realize just how much there was until I read today’s email.
God Bless You and Your Wife, and thank you for all you do.

PS: I already subscribe, please don’t send me two. Thanks.
Dear John Paul,
Thank you for helping me remember my novenas. Now, if I could just remember to check my email!
I received the following from a friend. This devout Catholic family needs our help. They have almost 300 people praying this novena with them as of this week– I know you could extend that number by many, many times. Would you consider adding this novena to your list? The URL above will take you to a web site they have set up. Here is the text of the email:
I am writing this email in the hopes of asking you to join me in a special time of prayer for one of my closest long-term friends, Pamela.
Pamela is a 37 year old wife and stay-at-home mother to three young boys (Elliot, 6, Finn, 4, and Ethan 19 months). And she is currently about 25 weeks pregnant with baby number 4. She and her husband Erik live in NYC.
About two months ago, Pamela began experiencing severe migraines which her doctors believed were pregnancy-related. But as they treated her and she did not improve, they did an MRI only to discover a massive tumor on her brain. She immediately had surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible. Over 90% was removed, but it was impossible to get all of it.
Thankfully, baby came through surgery just fine. Then the pathology report
came– bringing incredibly heart-wrenching news. Pamela has aggressive, stage 4 brain cancer. She was given a bleak prognosis of living an average of 13 months. As devastating as this diagnosis is, it is all the more complicated by her pregnancy. She cannot begin all of the recommended treatments immediately, and there are some very difficult (almost
impossible) decisions to make regarding care for baby balanced with her own care.
In short, Pamela needs a miracle. Both her and Erik are people of deep faith. Interestingly enough, Erik just came into full communion with the Catholic Church less than two weeks ago at the Vigil- days after Pamela’s surgery. They are desperate for Christ’s healing touch, and are seeking the wisdom of God in all their decisions.
I have taken on their cause and have been committed to asking as many people as possible to pray for Pamela and her family. Specifically, I am feeling called to do a novena to St. Gianna (an Italian wife and mother of three, who discovered a tumor on her uterus during pregnancy with her fourth baby, and died soon after delivering her.) St. Gianna’s feast day is April 28, so I will be praying April 20-28 specifically for Pamela’s healing. Would you consider joining me in prayer for this dear sister?
I have set up an email notification so that you can sign up to receive the novena prayer for the nine days. (I promise there will be no more emails beyond this.) In addition to the prayer there will be a short story either about the life of St. Gianna, or about Pamela so those of you who don’t know this lovely woman can have a sense of who you’re praying for.
If you’d like to sign up, here is the link:

Because I have set this up online, feel free to forward to link to anyone you know who might also be interested in praying for Pamela. Really, the more prayer, the better.
Thank you for reading, and being willing to consider joining me in prayer.
In hopes of a miracle!
Sarah

Thank you very much. I joined this site as I was looking for a novena to pray as we start the month of May.I’m asking God to give me a husband and will join the novena in praying for the lady with brain tumour. Be blessed.
I want to leave my prayers to everyone to join me and pray for me in the name of Jesus Christ.
- I am going through another round of chemo – Taxotere this coming Thursday for my lung cancer. This is the only option so far that I am hoping it will work to stop the cancer growth especially the spread in the liver.
- Since Taxotere is a very toxic chemo drug, I need to pray to tolerate well with the side effects.
- I will have to take the Neulasta shot to boost up my blood counts that will be damaged by the toxic chemo. Pray that I will tolerate well with the Neulasta side effects.
- In the name of Jesus Christ, Taxotere will work and has the effect on the cancer. I will be on remission after 2 cycles of Taxotere chemo.
Lord Jesus Christ,
Amen.
Prayed for you. :) May God help you! Amen +
