Show HideJoin us in praying the Novena for the Restoration of the Church!
The Catholic Church was given to us by Jesus to help bring all people to heaven. Through the Church, we have access to the sacraments and the graces they give us. The Church is very important for the souls of each of us, and it is instrumental in salvation.
God has chosen to give us a Church that is led by imperfect human people. The leaders of the Church do not always act perfectly. Our fallen world provides many opportunities for sin and imperfection, within the Church and within our whole society.
We should pray for the Church regularly. We should pray for the leaders of the Church, for the efficacy of the Church’s work in the world, and for the holiness of all members of the Church.
Let’s offer prayers in this Novena for the Restoration of the Church that God will restore the Church to the holiness He intended for it and will restore it to a prominent place in society.
