A Message from The Catholic Crusade
The Church celebrates our Blessed Mother's birthday in the month of September (September 8th). Also honored this month are some of the Church's highest saints, including the Archangels, St. Padre Pio, and St. Jerome. A complete listing of feast days for September is listed below.
There are two popular novenas that are prayed in September: the Novena to Our Lady of Sorrows (September 6-14) and the Guardian Angel Novena (September 23 - October 1). We will post the prayers for these novenas on our Youtube channel, website and social media accounts.

Prayer to St. Benedict for A Happy Death
SITE | VIDEO
The Prayer to Saint Benedict for a Happy Death is intended to be prayed daily, as the prayer itself states. Placing ourselves under the protection of St Benedict is yet another spiritual armor a devout Catholic can out on for protection against spiritual attacks. It is at the hour of death when Satan and his angels most especially attack devout souls as it is Hell's last chance to steal these souls away from God. Saint Benedict, being the patron saint of exorcisms, is a powerful defender against the Devil.a novena prayer is by the Carmelite Sisters and is intended to be prayed for 9 days for a special intention and for those preparing to make their vows.

The Flame of Love devotion, which has been approved by the Church, was given to a poor and humble Hungarian mystic and Third-Order Carmelite named Elizabeth Kindelmann by Jesus and Mary for the specific purpose of blinding Satan so that he loses his influence over families, communities and all people.

A Prayer to Avoid Purgatory was composed by St Joseph Cafasso and is contained in The Life of St Joseph Cafasso by St John Bosco. The prayer pleas for the sufferings of one's life and at the hour of death, along with the merits of Christ's sacred Passion, discharge any debt owed for one's sins, which would otherwise lead to imprisonment in the fires of Purgatory (or Hell).

Mother Teresa's "Flying Novena" is also known as her famous "Emergency Novena". While most novenas are prayed for over a 9-day period, the Flying Novena (Emergency Novena) is intended for urgent matters in which immediate assistance is needed. It consists of praying The Memorare prayer 10 times. The first nine times are for the special intention; the tenth time is in thanksgiving to Our Lady for hearing our intention.
