    NOVENA PRAYER

    O Divine Infant Jesus, Your Birth in the stable of Bethlehem reveals to the world the infinite love of God by Your becoming One of us.


    Your Most Holy Mother Mary cradled You in her arms with love beyond all telling as Your humility submitted to the poverty of Your manger bed.

    Angels sang of the glory of Your majesty. Shepherds knelt on bended knee to adore You, God made Man.


    Holy Child, we, too, kneel before You and beg You to receive the petitions we lay before Your throne of wood and straw.

    (HERE MENTION YOUR PETITIONS.)


    Jesus, Holy Infant King, and Redeemer of us all, fill us with grace that we may find peace and joy at Your Nativity.


    Grant our hearts help, hope and love through the powerful intercession of

    Your Immaculate Mother Mary and that of Your Foster Father,

    Good St. Joseph.


    Amen.
