Читать книгу The 54-day Novena to Our Lady of Pompeii - Andrea Pirringer - Страница 4

Probably you have never heard of this Novena - that's not surprising, because the novena is not expressly "advertised". There are no information booklets in German language, no public reports on the effects of the novena.

Why is this so? - I cannot answer you. However, I am of the opinion that this situation needs to be changed urgently.

The Rosary was and is a powerful prayer that has evolved over the centuries. Unfortunately, it gets at the present time more and more forgotten. Also the knowledge of its grace-filled impact is lost. This is all the more regrettable as the man just today - more than ever - needs the help of God.

We live in a modern environment, a world of plenty. Everything is abundant, only one seems to have come to us almost lost: God. With him, also prayer disappears more and more of our everyday lives.

Prayer and God go together. We need prayer to get in touch with God. Without prayer we seal off us and therefore God no longer reaches us (or only reaches us with difficulty), because He respects the free will he has given to man. He does not impose himself, but waits until the man turns to him.
