Feast of the Visitation
You can find the Gospel and readings on it for the feast here.
When a Novena is prayed in anticipation of a Feast, it is typically begun such that it ends the day before the Feast (i.e., to know when to start a Novena in anticipation of a Feast, count 10 days back from the Feast, with the Feast itself counting as "one.")
Kate,
ReplyDeleteShouldn't the Novena start 7/3, not 7/2? Is the Novena supposed to end the day of or the day before the feast?
