Particular feasts will naturally suggest their corresponding devotions,-e. g. the several festivals of our Lord and his Blessed Mother, the Holy Angels, S: Joseph, &c.; and no further guidance will be needed than that which is afforded by any Catholic Directory. But, for the readier fulfilment of the plan proposed, the following Table is prefixed, which gives the Litanies proper to each season in their order. Devotion will contrive numerous combinations, by which the peculiar character of each day or season may be duly observed, and the several aspects of the Divine Mysteries receive their proper measure of attention and contemplation. The Litany of the Saints, as also the Litany for England, may very suitably be used on the festivals of those eminent Saints whose names are especially commemorated in them. Litanies, again, form appropriate devotions for particular Novenas, and for consecrating the several months of the year 1 A Novena is a devotion of nine days, in honour of some mystery of our redemption, to obtain a particular request, or in honour of the B. V. Mary, or some of the Saints, to beg their intercession in obtaining it. It may be performed with any forms of prayer. to some special object. To this end the following Table is given, shewing THE TIMES OF NOVENAS AND OTHER DEVOTIONS, which may be performed at discretion. Many of these Novenas have Indulgences attached to them.
