Christmas Novena Prayer

December 16-24 inclusive

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 bond of union, draw mankind 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,

In preparation for our Divine Saviour’s birth, we invite you to join in our novena to the Infant Jesus, from December 16th to 24th, inclusive.
Silent Night…Holy Night!  During these nine days, as we place our petitions before the Infant Jesus, let us take time for silent reflection, allowing the holiness of the mysteries revealed to us on Christmas Eve to warm our hearts, so that we may experience the deep and abiding love God has for us.

Your humble sisters in Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
The Carmelite Nuns
