Despite the popularity of the novena, the central celebration of the shrine has always been the Eucharist. Redemptorist has always emphasized the Eucharist as the source and summit of their faith and life. Just like Mary Our Mother of Perpetual Help who expressed her fiat: “Let it be done according to your Word,” true devotion are lived and practiced according to the Word. It is in this spirit that the novena is at the service of the eucharist and the sacrament that the devotees should understand and pray the novena.
