“Our Lady of the Forsaken Novena prayed 5/1 to 5/9: Prayer petition: “For the forsaken to longer to be forsaken.” The Intercede App started a St. Patrick Community Novena for our Nigerian brothers and sisters. We are currently finishing Dsy 6. I had prayed for our persecuted Nigerian brothers and sisters because I had heard about what is happening to them. I didn’t pray it as a novena. I feel my prayer is being answered by this Community Novena being created and prayed by so many of us. They are no longer forsaken. Typing this at 10:48pm Denver, CO Mountain Time on 6/23.”
