Mother Teresa’s Flying Novena

Novena begins this Thursday, August 27, 2026

Are you facing an urgent need, a sudden crisis, or an impossible situation? St. “Mother” Teresa of Calcutta was famous for her “Flying Novena”—an emergency prayer to Our Lady that “flies” straight to heaven for swift intercession.

In this novena, the Memorare is prayed ten times: nine times for a pressing intention and a final time in confident thanksgiving, allowing our urgent petitions to “fly” swiftly to the Blessed Virgin Mary for her immediate intercession.

This novena leads up to St. Teresa of Calcutta’s feast day on September 5th.
