How to Organise a Novena on Twitter

This is a suggested way to organise a Novena on Twitter.

Decide on the Novena you want to use and either save a link to it or send the prayer or a link to it to me (DM me for an email address) and I will post it here.

Announce the Novena on twitter: what or whom it's for, where the text can be found. Ask those who wish to let you know if they would like a daily reminder.

Send a link to the announcement to the people in the box below on the right, all of whom have asked to be informed whenever a Novena is to be said on Twitter, asking whether they would like a daily reminder.

(What follows is what I do: happy to post alternatives, especially better alternatives.)

Create an Outlook appointment for the nine days with the text of your tweet, which should contain the addressees, the Day the Novena has reached and a link to the text. All you need do then is go through the appointments one by one changing the date.

An example is:

@CCFather @louiseallain @MenAreLikeWine1 @dilysetc @LibbyMag @sitsio @73books Novena Day 4 http://ttonys-blog.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/novena-to-saint-joachim-and-saint-ann.html

If this takes you past 140 characters simply put the text of two tweets in:

@CCFather @louiseallain @MenAreLikeWine1 @dilysetc @LibbyMag @sitsio @73books Novena Day 4 http://ttonys-blog.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/novena-to-saint-joachim-and-saint-ann.html

This is a very prescriptive way of doing things but it works. Please feel free to send me alternatives and I'll post them here.

Novena To Saint Joachim And Saint Ann

.

.

Saint Joachim and Saint Ann, grandparents of Jesus and parents of Mary, we seek your intercession. We beg you to direct all our actions to the greater glory of God and the salvation of souls. Strengthen us when we are tempted, console us during our trials, help us when we are in need, be with us in life and in death.

O divine Saviour, we thank you for having chosen Saint Joachim and Saint Ann to be parents of our Blessed Mother Mary and so to be your own beloved grandparents. We place ourselves under their patronage this day. We recommend to them our families, our children, and our grandchildren. Keep them from all spiritual and physical harm. Grant that they may ever grow in greater love of God and others.

Saint Joachim and Saint Ann, we have many great needs. We beg you to intercede for us before the throne of your divine Grandson. 

(Mention your request here)
All of us here have our own special intentions, our own special needs, and we pray that through your intercession, our prayers may be granted. Amen.
