A novena may be made during the nine consecutive Fridays or even during nine consecutive days anytime of the year. The purpose of such a special devotion is to glorify God, to sanctify ourselves and to obtain the graces necessary for our own temporal and eternal welfare. The recommended period for making this novena is during nine consecutive Fridays starting with Septuagesima Sunday until Viernes Dolores (Friday before Palm Sunday) Let us put all our trust in His Goodness and mercy of God who will reward for our perseverance. Our Lady of Candelaria will not abandon those who come to Him. It is, ernestly recommended that the devotees go to Confesion and receive Communion at least once during the novena.
