This Christmas Novena is found at the "America needs Fatima" website. The presentation here is slightly different to that on the site but it is otherwise the same.
The intentions in the prayer are my own and given that you are currently on this page, i'd be grateful if you prayed for those too, yet DO add and pray your own intentions as well!
Novena Day 6:
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,
At that hour vouchsafe,
I beseech You to hear my prayers
and grant my requests:
That we may all draw near to You
That we may all draw near to You
strengthened to receive your mercy,
that our lives may be filled with hope, peace and joy.
That we may all believe in Your love for us
That we may all believe in Your love for us
and may trust in You – no matter how hard it gets.
That those who cry or feel alone
That those who cry or feel alone
may know that You are with them.
Through Jesus Christ and His most Blessed Mother,
Through Jesus Christ and His most Blessed Mother,
Amen.
O my Dear Redeemer! Where should I be now, if You had not borne with me so patiently, and hadn't called me for life while I was in the state of sin? You have waited for me till now, forgive me quickly O Jesus!
I am sorry for having vilely despised You, my God but You cannot abandon a soul that seeks You. Lord I want to love You - help me!
Prayer/Reflection:
O my Dear Redeemer! Where should I be now, if You had not borne with me so patiently, and hadn't called me for life while I was in the state of sin? Since You have waited for me till now, forgive me quickly, O my Jesus, before death finds me still guilty of so many offenses that I have committed against You. I am so sorry for having vilely despised You, my Sovereign Good, that I could die of grief. But You cannot abandon a soul that seeks You. [ lucky for us - how blessed we are!!! ;-) ]
If thus far I have forsaken You, I now seek You and love You. Yes, my God, I love You above all else; I love You more than myself! Help me, Lord, to love You always during the rest of my life. Nothing else do I seek of You but this I beg of You, this I hope to receive from You.
Mary, my hope, do pray for me! If you pray for me, I am sure of Grace. Amen.
My Lord, You cannot abandon a soul that seeks You. If thus far I have forsaken You, I now seek You and love You. Yes, my God, I love You and want to love You above all else - Help me! Lord, nothing else do I seek of You but this I beg of You, this I hope to receive from You.
Mary, my hope, do pray for me. If you pray for me, I am sure of Grace.
Thank you to the people at the "America needs Fatima" website for sharing this Novena.
