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
@AthanasiusII @idlerambler @pattif21 @matermari @BattlementClare @PartTimePilgrim Novena Day 4http://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.
