The Christmas Novena - Day 1

Thank you for joining us in praying the Christmas Novena! This novena will be dedicated to praying for an end to abortion, and for greater respect for the dignity of all human life!  When contemplating the birth of our Savior and preparing for Christmas, it is a great time to pray for an end to abortion. After all, Christ came to us as a humble and vulnerable pre-born child.  You can also post your own intentions here:  http://www.praymorenovenas.com/christmas-novena/#respond Here are the prayers for today:

Day 1 (December 16th) - The Christmas Novena  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 Your humility are unsurpassed and bring 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. 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. 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.
