Show HideJoin us in praying the Anniversary Novena!
The celebration of a wedding anniversary can be a very joyful occasion. Marriage is a wonderful gift from God that brings great happiness to many people. Celebrating the occasion when our marriage began is a good thing to do.
Like many blessings from God, we do not always appreciate the gift of marriage as we should. Even when we strive to be good and holy spouses, we fall short of the calling of our vocation at times.
Wedding anniversaries can be a wonderful opportunity to renew our commitment to our spouse and to the vocation of marriage. We can use wedding anniversaries as an occasion to work on loving our spouse more fully, to resolve to work on faults that negatively affect our marriage, and to thank God for the gift of our marriage.
Let’s offer prayers in this Anniversary Novena that God may bless all married couples who are preparing to celebrate an anniversary.
Why Pray the Anniversary Novena?
You can pray the Anniversary Novena if you and your spouse are preparing to celebrate a wedding anniversary. You can pray this novena to seek grace for your marriage if you are celebrating your first wedding anniversary or to seek God’s continued assistance if you have been married for several years.
You can also pray the Anniversary Novena to ask God to bless a couple you know who is preparing to celebrate a wedding anniversary. You can use this novena to ask God to help a couple with a troubled marriage, or you can use it to ask God to continue to bless a couple who has a strong marriage.
