This Novena for Freedom from Addiction is for anyone seeking God’s grace to overcome addiction or praying for a loved one struggling with dependency. Whether the addiction involves alcohol, drugs, gambling, pornography, unhealthy habits, technology, or any other form of bondage, this novena asks the Lord to bring healing, freedom, strength, and hope. While prayer is a powerful source of grace, those struggling with addiction are also encouraged to seek support through trusted family members, a priest or spiritual director, recovery groups, and qualified healthcare professionals.

Opening Prayer (Pray Each Day)

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
