In 1895, on the promptings of Blessed Elena, Pope Leo XIII asked all the faithful to celebrate a solemn novena (9 days of prayer) perpetually between Ascension and Pentecost for the unity of Christianity. Sion Community responded to this call of
9 days of continuous prayer for a new Pentecost this May, when we held our first 24/7 Novena.
Each year, we try to hold a special celebration and time of prayer and 24/7 Novena around the Feast of St Michael in September. Come and join us in prayer and intercession in front of the Blessed Sacrament for the coming year of ministry within Sion. It’s an invitation of return to the “Upper Room of Jerusalem”, waiting with one heart and in constant prayer (Acts 1: 12-14), becoming “burning bushes” in adoration and intercession. (Leo XIII, E. Guerra 1895-1897).
HOW CAN YOU JOIN IN THE 24/7 NOVENA AT SION COMMUNITY?
Come to Sion Community in Brentwood where one of our rooms will be transformed into a 24/7 prayer room. You can come individually or as a group. We have divided the Novena time into one-hour slots, day and night, over the nine days. Some of the time will be continuous worship or silence; these will be indicated on the sign up sheet. You are welcome to stay overnight as we will have some prayer room accommodation. This is especially useful if you want to pray throughout the night. Let us know what you want and we will do our best to facilitate your needs.
