INFANT JESUS NOVENA

O Christ, our Lord and King, come for the sake of your Church, your people, that by her strength and unity of love she may proclaim to all the world the glory and joy of your kingdom. IN bod of union draw manking to your reign of love, your reign of gentleness, of mercy and of truth. Help each of us to build your kingdom, to prepare our hearts in love as your Christmas light shines clear. Sweet Infant Jesus, bless us. Amen

Dear friends of Carmel, 

We are now in the preparation time for Christmas .. the birth of Jesus. With Mary and Joseph we will be traveling daily in our thoughts on the road to Bethlehem, with great anticipation for the grace of HIS coming into our hearts. As each sister wishes to unite her prayers with you, we ask you and your friends to daily recite with great love and sincerity our beautiful novena prayer. May the Prince of peace bring lasting love, peace and reconcilliation to our world where so many families and communities are lacking peace. 

May the angels of that first Christmas enlighten our minds and hearts and open our lips to sing that glorious hymn of praise, "Glory to God in the highest and peace on earth to men of good will. "Wishing you the joy and love of Christmas." Come Lord Jesus, Come! 

A novena of nine masses will be offered for your intentions beginning December 26th to January 3rd at the monastery chapel. We take this opportunity to thank those who sent the names of their beloved fatihful departed for the month of November. 

Your humble sisters and servants in Jesus, Mary and Joseph, 

The Carmelite Nuns
