It is called the "Irresistible Novena." It consists of praying 3 rosaries (15 decades) daily (or at least 5 decades) for 54 consecutive days.
The Structure
- 27 Days of Petition: Asking for the favor.
- 27 Days of Thanksgiving: Thanking God for the favor (even if you haven't received it yet).
The Origin (Fortuna Agrelli)
In 1884, a young girl named Fortuna Agrelli was dying in Naples. She and her family prayed desperately. Mary appeared to her as the Queen of the [Holy Rosary](/rosary) of Pompeii. Mary said: "Whoever desires to obtain favors from me should make three novenas of the prayers of the Rosary, and three novenas in thanksgiving." (A novena is 9 days. 3 x 9 = 27. 27 + 27 = 54). Fortuna was instantly cured.
Why Do It?
It is a test of endurance. It proves you are serious. It is spiritual bootcamp. Thousands of people attest to miracles—jobs found, cancers cured, marriages saved—after completing the 54 days.
