Christmas is fast approaching, so now is the time to say this precious Christmas Novena to ask the Infant Jesus and Mary Most Holy for all your wishes and needs.
To beg for what matters most: God’s glory, our sanctification, supernatural happiness and the spiritual health of those you most love.
After that, you would do well to add a cascade of other intentions: for Holy Mother Church; for our beloved America; for all of our personal and material needs health, etc.
But like never before, we must pray for the urgent and immediate intervention of God in history, because things are getting so bad in our country and in the world.
Opening Prayer (for each day)
Hail, and blessed be the hour and moment
At which the Son of God was born
Of a most pure Virgin
At a stable at midnight in Bethlehem
In the piercing cold
At that hour vouchsafe, I beseech Thee,
To hear my prayers and grant my desires
(Mention your intentions here).
Through Jesus Christ and His most Blessed Mother.
