Novena to St. Cecilia Begins Today! Let Your Heart Sing in Prayer

November 13, 2025: Today, we begin a beautiful journey of nine days with St. Cecilia — the beloved patron saint of music, singers, and all who lift their hearts to God through song. As her feast day draws near on November 22, we are invited to join our voices and hearts in prayer, letting her melody of faith echo within our souls.

St. Cecilia’s life was one of courage, purity, and steadfast love for Christ. Even in the face of suffering, she sang to the Lord in her heart — a hymn of unshakable faith that continues to inspire centuries later. Her story reminds us that true worship goes beyond sound; it is a symphony of the heart, a life lived in tune with God’s will.

As we begin this novena, let us come together — as one Church, one family — to ask for her intercession. Whether you are a musician, a choir member, or simply someone who finds God in silence, this novena is an invitation to rediscover the harmony between prayer and daily life.

Let us ask St. Cecilia to help us make our lives a song of praise — pure, joyful, and steadfast. Over these nine days, may her intercession inspire us to sing not only with our lips but with our hearts, trusting that every prayer, every note of faith, rises to heaven like sweet music before the Lord.
