People need to take the requisite time to think this through.

Preach it. I’ll watch the occasional Rugby Union game if it’s a big International, but can’t stand the fanfare, it’s IQ lowering essence of diarrhoea at best, sinful at worst.

In Luke 18 Jesus gives us the principle of persistence in prayer and supplication. The Novena exercises Jesus principal of persistent prayer. It’s not merely a passing thought that we ask God with, it’s taking real time, bother and effort, this carries more weight, especially if fasting is...
