In this case, the Blessed Virgin's parents, Saints Joachim and Anna, dedicated her to God, at the age of three, in thanksgiving for ending their years of childlessness. According to tradition, Mary then stayed of her own accord at the Temple until the age of 12, when she was betrothed to the foster father of Christ. As we prepare to celebrate this feast, I have chosen A Novena for the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary as our novena for November 12 through November 20.

If you're ever in doubt which prayers you should be praying, you can always find our current novena and previous ones in The Novena of the Week.
