A Novena For HD
I got this request from a reader, Anne-Marie. It's the kind of request that is hard to refuse. She requested that I post this request, and while I'm not Catholic, I appreciate the importance of the request.
It's for a wonderful cause...Huntington's Disease. Here's her request:
Below is a letter that I have sent out to my family and friends. If you are drawn to prayer, please consider joining us. My belief in prayer has grown deeper as I continue to live a full life with stage 4 breast cancer. My fourth of five cancers since I was 21 years old (43 years old this month). I started wearing the Miraculous Medal 3.5 years ago and believe many prayers are being answered on my behalf. Let’s storm heaven and get God’s help today.

Dear Family and Friends,
I am writing to invite you to join me in praying a novena for the following prayer intentions: a cure/treatment for Huntington’s disease, for breast cancer and for melanoma along with the personal prayer intentions that rest on the heart of each person joining me in this Novena.
On December 8, 2004, the Catholic Church will celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, the mother of God along with the approval of the Miraculous Medal as a sacramental medal.
Many miracles have been attributed to the Miraculous Medal. My hope is that by praying to Mary of the Immaculate Conception during this anniversary year, her promise of grace to those who pray and wear this medal will be fulfilled.
December 8th also marks the one-year anniversary of our Dad’s death from Huntington’s Disease. Dad has seen the face of God and I believe that he joins us in petitioning God for help. My plan is to pray the novena twice this year on the following dates, each time ending on a feast day of Our Lady:
August 4th –August 15th, The Feast of the Assumption
November 30th – December 8th, The Feast of the Immaculate Conception and the 150th Anniversary of its promulgation
Please consider joining me in praying this Novena either individually or as a family. I believe many graces await our petitions.
The following web sites provide the story of the Miraculous Medal, a place to request individual medals and the Novena. Peace be with you.
