The Christmas novena begins on December 16 and ends on December 24, a few hours after the birth of the Savior.
The birth of the Child Jesus is the event that brings us together with happiness in the last month of the year and makes us reflect on what we are and what we do in our lives. If Jesus is not born in our hearts, we are left in a superficial Christmas.
3 empanada recipes to delight your guests in the Christmas Novena
The Christmas novena begins on December 16 and ends on December 24, a few hours after the birth of the Savior.
Ninth: Day 2
1. It starts with a Christmas carol
2. Prayer for every day
Love of my loves, tender and innocent,
Infant Jesus, charm of shepherds and kings.
Delight of the Heart of Mary,
lullaby of Joseph’s dream,
savior of me and of the world,
born in a manger and wrapped in swaddling clothes:
We want in this novena,
that prepares us to celebrate your birth,
walk the path of love that is your life
following in the footsteps of your eternal Father’s love
and the love of wonderful husbands,
that begot you in faith
who lived in his home in Nazareth
every day.
We ask that as you contemplate these love stories,
let us fall deeply in love with You, Incarnate Word.
Amen.
3. Bible Reading: Juan 1, 1-5
4. Reflection of the day
The second day is dedicated to understanding, as a distinctive note of all true love.
We can say that the Incarnation of a God who becomes man can be read in the key of that great value called understanding. He is a God who puts himself in our place, who breaks distances and shares our anxieties and our joys. It is thanks to that understanding love of a Father God that we are God’s children and brothers among ourselves.
With an understanding love we are able to see the reasons of others and be tolerant of their failures.
5. Christmas Carol
6. Attendees’ requests
7. Final prayer for every day
Lord, Christmas is the memory of your birth among us, it is the presence of your love in our family and in our society. Christmas is the certainty that the God of heaven and earth is our Father, that you, Divine Child, are our Brother.
May this meeting with your manger increase our faith in your goodness, commit us to truly living as brothers, give us courage to kill hatred and sow justice and peace. Oh Divine Child, teach us to understand that where there is love and justice, there you are and there it is also Christmas. Amen. (I)
