Good morning everyone,
We’re in the last nine days before Christmas i.e., on the final stretch of our path to make straight before Christ arrives. The Christmas novena may help you make a good last leg of the journey. I share it with you now via the pray more novenas website.
Today is actually day two of the novena, so I apologize for sharing it with you a day late. But no worries, we can still join in, and I think it would be worth our while. So, let’s pray:
Opening Prayer
O Lord, Word of God, You, whose glory is complete, came to us in perfect humility as a child in the womb. Your love for us and humility is unsurpassed and brings us to our knees in prayer and worship.
Your incarnation forever changed the world.
All Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is now and forever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
Day 1 – Joy
O Lord, infant Jesus, fill us with Joy! The birth of any child is a cause for joy and so much more is the birth of You our Savior. We pray in union with Mary, Your mother, for a greater joy this Christmas.
Day 2 – Humility
O Lord, infant Jesus, grant us great humility! You gave us the model of perfect humility in your incarnation, life and death. We pray for a greater Humility this Christmas.
Closing Prayers
We pray also for these intentions… (State your intentions here)
May Your Holy Will be done in my life and with these intentions.
We pray that the work of salvation that Your first coming began will reach fulfillment in each of us.
All Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is now and forever shall be, world without end.
Amen
The Pilgrimage
