Today I received a telephone inquiry about the "Novena to St. Jude Thaddeus." In the context of education on esoteric and superstitious I am in my usual position to retreat. Today's call I've taken as an opportunity to speak about this in writing:
A novena is a prayer unit of 9 days following the example of the first Christian community in Jerusalem, prayed by 9 days in the "upper room" of the Ascension of the Lord to the coming of the Holy Spirit (see Acts 1.15-26, 2:2-4): it is a good old Catholic tradition.
In a special issue, we turn to a holy person (eg Virgin, HI. Rita, HI. ... Anthony) and ask them to intercede with God, where God is always free to attend to our requests in such a way as he acknowledges in his wisdom for us to be better.
We may ask for everything, but all requests are subject to the larger subject of the request in the Our Father: Thy will be done
. The text
the following novena to St.. Jude Thaddeus is (pray daily six times, lay 9 copies a day) all right, but not the preceding statement nor the subsequent promise of infallible being heard , because that is the error spread, we could God establish in his actions.
To suggest otherwise would and practiced, makes the Sin of superstition guilty. The Catechism of the Catholic Church "says this:
,, 2110 The first commandment ... forbidden superstition ... Superstition is to some extent a perverse excess of religion ..., one of the virtue of religion contradictory vices.
2111 Superstition is a derailment of religious feeling and the actions to which it undertakes. It can also creep into the worship, we prove the true God. So if, for example, certain otherwise authorized or required actions a magical significance is attached. Who attributed the efficacy of prayers or of sacramental signs to the merely external and do it from the inner attitudes, they require, apart, falls prey to superstition [See Mt 23.16-22] "
(It now follows the text of a paper which you can sometimes find in the churches:).
* This novena has six times daily (6 times) are consistently prayed nine (9) days .
* Nine (9) copies of the daily novenas must be interpreted in a church.
* The request will be heard. no later than the 9th day of the novena, if not earlier, and was unheard of before.
