I thought that it is about time that Cleansing Fire had a “retreat,” if you will. Therefore, starting tomorrow, I will be posting videos daily for the Novena of Fortitude. It is an abbreviated and edited version of a novena for Our Lady of Victory, but I have assigned each day a different theme:

Day 1 – Humility in Serving the Lord
Day 2 – “For a Day In Your Courts, O Lord, is Better Than a Thousand Elsewhere”
Day 3 – The Betrayal of Our Lord by Judas and His Subsequent Minions of Evil
Day 4 – Exile
Day 5 – Worthiness
Day 6 – “Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness . . .”
Day 7 – “Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for justice . . .”
Day 8 – “Blessed are they who mourn . . .”
Day 9 – Final Judgment and Our Lord’s Victory Over Earthly Corruption

Each video will be about 7 minutes long, and features a scriptural lesson, litany of Our Lady, sacred music etc . . . I hope that, if you are able, you can attempt to go to Mass on the last day of the Novena. After all, receiving the same Lord to whom we pray can’t hurt our orations and supplications.
