Sentence in Article titled "Novena" implying that Christians praise the Virgin Mary and Saints.

In the Wikipedia article titled "Novena", The first sentence of the final paragraph under "History" says that "Within the Roman Catholic tradition, novena prayers typically include a praise of Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary or another saint, and a personal petition." This implies that Christians praise the Virgin Mary and saints, which is untrue as Christians only praise God. 115.70.133.39 (talk) 05:34, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
