A while back I wrote about a series of coincidences involving Our Lady of Perpetual Help and yours truly. 

Well, she’s at it again! I was cleaning out the back of the garage to make room for a garden workbench I’m being given when I opened a box that was in the way. Curious, I rummaged through it and there was a stack of Our Lady of Perpetual Help prayer cards! This is what they look like, minus the wording at the bottom:

So, what exactly is the coincidence? Well, today marks the beginning of the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Novena! I didn’t need the reminder, so it is a curious thing or perhaps just a signal grace.

Anyway, if you want to pray this Novena, this post has links to three good ones to pick from.

Are you a creative Catholic? "The Catholicpunk Manifesto" is my new book exhorting Catholics to apply their faith to change the culture for the better!

Know someone, perhaps yourself, who might like Catholic devotionals for alcoholics? Please take a look at my books! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
