Novenas for Loved Ones Returning to Faith
It can hurt to see someone you love leave the faith. St. Monica’s example encourages perseverance, but it does not guarantee a particular timetable. Pray, listen to the person’s actual experience, and show patient love without turning every meeting into an argument.

St. Monica Novena
It hurts when someone you love turns away from the faith. Prayer can help you keep loving them without turning every conversation into an argument. Respect the person’s freedom, listen honestly, and seek opportunities to witness through your own life.
St. Augustine Novena
You may know what ought to change and still feel divided within yourself. Bring that struggle honestly to God. Augustine’s example encourages truthfulness and perseverance, not confidence that you can change by willpower alone. Addiction also deserves qualified treatment and support.
