PRAYER OF PETITION
Come, Holy Spirit, fill our hearts with the fire of Your love!
We turn to You in The Way of Trust as we anticipate
Your descent upon us at Pentecost.
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
We long for peace – for abundant life – for everlasting love.
Trusting You will renew the face of the earth,
humbly we make this prayer through the intercession of the
Holy Family, under the protection of Saint Joseph,
in the Holy Name of Jesus Incarnate.
Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us. Amen.

Confiamos en que renovarás la faz de la tierra, y humildemente rezamos por la intercesión de la Sagrada Familia, bajo la protección de San José, y en el Santo Nombre de Jesucristo Encarnado.
María, Madre de la Iglesia, ruega por nosotros. Amén.

Timeline
Additional Information
A 54-Day Novena = Consists of praying a Rosary (five decades / one set of mysteries) each day for twenty-seven days in petition; followed by praying the rosary for twenty-seven days in thanksgiving, thanking God for how He will answer our petitions. We will all pray the same Prayer of Petition / Prayer of Thanksgiving to begin the rosary each day. Typically, a novena is prayed for 9 days. This is an extended novena, equivalent to six ordinary novenas (6 x 9 = 54). It is unique in its admonition to pray in petition for the first half (27 days), and pray in thanksgiving for whatever God gives us in the second half (27 days).
History
Join us as we continue our 54-day Rosary Novenas, established by Family Renewal Project. An archdiocesan-wide prayer initiative conceived during the Spring of 2020 in response to the lockdowns, confusion & isolation throughout the world … a simple effort to unify and strengthen the Body of Christ through the power of prayer! We believe the Holy Spirit guided us in a particular way to the 54-Day Rosary Novena, which historically has many associated miracles.
We titled our first Novena, The Way of Trust and it kicked off on the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Mother (8/15) and ended on the Feast of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary (10/7). Nearly 2,000 faithful from throughout the Archdiocese of Louisville and including folks from 26 States across the U.S. and 6 Countries around the world signed up to participate and when it ended, there was a desire for more!
We then organized The Way of Trust Christmas Novena {Solemnity of All Souls; 11/2 to Christmas; 12/25} followed by The Way of Trust Pentecost Novena {Wednesday of Holy Week to Pentecost Sunday}. The testimonials, notes, and messages we’ve received have been inspiring and have confirmed there is a deep desire for people to unite in prayer.
As a result, Family Renewal Project has committed that we will offer these same 3 Novenas year-round! We’ve modified the title of the original Novena to The Way of Trust Our Lady of the Rosary Novena which reflects Our Lady’s specific request for daily recitation of the Holy Rosary, as well as our trust in her powerful intercession.
We believe individuals and families will find comfort and peace when uniting in prayer for the same intention, trusting that Jesus, through His Mother and His earthly father, Joseph will protect and guide us.
We hope you will unite with us in prayer (and please help spread the word)!
