Pray Novenas Like the Catholic Mystics: Entering the Heart of Prayer

St. Anthony's Tongue

Praying a novena shouldn’t feel like a chore—or a transaction. The mystics teach us that novena prayer is a path into the heart of God, not a formula for getting what we want. In this episode of St. Anthony’s Tongue, we explore how to pray novenas in a contemplative, mystical way. Learn how to transform this nine-day devotion from legalistic repetition into a meaningful journey of union with Christ and communion with the saints. If you're drawn to Catholic spirituality, contemplative prayer, or mystical theology, this episode will help you pray novenas not out of obligation—but out of love.
