Sometimes I move through my daily tasks or exercise while the Novena plays, but I always try to focus on my heart. Speaking the Novena aloud alongside the recording adds power to this prayer.

When you’re in pain, when you’re terrified, the last thing you think about is your kindness. In the weeks leading up to my diagnosis, I sensed something was wrong, but not with my body. I knew I needed to become less judgmental, more patient, more kind. Then the diagnosis came—horrific, life-altering—and for weeks I was nothing but a ball of fear. Eventually, the realization came: if I wanted to heal my body, I had to begin by healing my mind and soul. Am I the kindest person I know? No. Could I be more patient at times? Yes. But I am not the same woman I was four years ago—or even a year ago. Or five months ago. I pray for the gift of kindness and patience, because at the end of it all, nothing else matters.
