This novena to Saint Vincenza Gerosa offers nine days of prayer and reflection for those seeking humility, trust in God's providence, and strength to serve the poor and sick. Born in 18th-century Italy, Saint Vincenza co-founded the Sisters of Charity of Lovere, quietly guiding their mission with practical wisdom, deep faith, and boundless compassion after the early loss of her co-foundress, Saint Bartolomea Capitanio. Through tireless charity, hidden service, and steadfast leadership, she nurtured a community dedicated to education, healthcare, and works of mercy. Her life reminds us that true holiness is found in humble service, simple living, and complete trust in God's plan. Through daily Scripture, meditations, and prayers, this novena invites us to embrace charity, simplicity, and collaboration, finding God in small tasks and offering our lives in joyful service to His Kingdom. May Saint Vincenza Gerosa, model of hidden holiness and charity, intercede for all who seek to love God in humble service, trust in His providence, and bring hope to the suffering.
