Real comments from our YouTube videos.

I have felt a Great uplifting shift in my daily life since I started this Wonderful St. Michael Lenton Devotion. It's brought Joy, Happiness and a Great sense of relief to my life. I was Sad, Depressed and So Lost before, but now I'm found!

I was having a severe crisis of Faith at the beginning of this novena, due to many misfortunes such as illness. Those misfortunes still exist; but my Faith has been rejuvenated, and is much stronger than before.

I love this novena more than any other I've done in a whole lifetime because it's tough me I'm knotted like a pretzel 😅 I laugh about it for a moment but I'm very serious.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Better Catholic?+
It is a Catholic evangelization channel that turns daily liturgy and the great classics of the faith into guided prayer videos, in Portuguese, English and Spanish.
Is the content faithful to the Magisterium of the Church?+
Yes. We follow Catholic doctrine and cite the source of every prayer and translation we publish. It is not a homily and does not replace Mass, spiritual direction, or Confession.
Are the PDF books really free?+
Yes. Every companion book for a series or novena is free as a PDF, made to be printed and shared with a prayer group or family.
Where can I watch the videos?+
On YouTube, on three channels, one per language, and on this site, where every work has its own page with the day's video and the book to download.
How does a video novena work?+
We publish one video a day for the nine days of the novena, with that day's prayer, a meditation, and the Way of the Day, and we deliver the complete novena as a free PDF.
Who makes this content?+
A writing and source-research team at Better Catholic, which documents the origin of every prayer and historical text before publishing it.
