“Fruits of the Spirit” Mother’s Day Rosary Novena + Bonus Day for Fatima

Join me, and Allison Gingras of Reconciled to You, for a special Rosary Novena for Mothers, Grandmothers, and all the moms in your life. Each of the nine days, we take up one of the Fruits of the Holy Spirit, found in Galatians 5:22-23. Beginning Saturday, May 4, 2019, the Novena concludes on Mother’s Day, with a bonus day for Monday, May 13th, the anniversary of Our Lady’s first apparition in Fatima. On that day, we’ll pray for the Triumph of Mary’s Immaculate Heart.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law.
