The Saint Cecilia Novena

Day 2: Marriage and consecration

Day 2 attends to Cecilia's marriage to Valerian and her private vow of virginity.

Vocation within marriage

Cecilia had taken a vow of virginity before her parents arranged her marriage. On the wedding night she told Valerian of the vow; he agreed and was converted to the Catholic faith.

Prayer

Saint Cecilia, intercede for spouses today who seek to live faithfully their Catholic vocation. Amen.

Conclude with one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
