If you have been searching for a , you are likely looking to deepen your faith or support a family member in their spiritual journey. Let’s explore why these prayers are so impactful and where you can access them. What is a Novena? The word Novena comes from the Latin novem , meaning "nine." It is a series of prayers prayed for nine consecutive days, often seeking a specific grace or in preparation for a feast day (like Christmas or the Feast of the Assumption).

In the Indian Catholic context, Novenas are incredibly popular. Whether it is the Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Succour (Vailankanni Mata) or the Sacred Heart Novena , families gather to pray together, trusting in the intercession of the saints. While many prayer books exist in English or Latin, there is a deep emotional and spiritual resonance when praying in one’s mother tongue. For millions of Catholics in Maharashtra, Goans in Mumbai, and the Konkan region, Marathi is the language of the heart.

Shrines dedicated to Our Lady of Vailankanni (Velankanni Mata) in Mumbai and Pune often have Marathi publications. Search for "Vailankanni Novena Marathi PDF."
