Our Lady of the Pillar Novena
Our Lady of the Pillar appeared to the Apostle St. James at Zaragoza in Spain around the year 40, standing upon a column of jasper and promising that the faith would remain firm in that land until the end of time. Hers is the oldest Marian shrine in the world and the first church ever dedicated to the Blessed Virgin. Pray this novena for perseverance in discouragement, for your family and country, and for the favor you most need.
