Read and pray the Holy Christmas novena with us
December 17: Jesus in the promise of Eden
O Wisdom, who comes from the mouth of the Most High, extends to the ends of the world and disposes of everything with gentleness and strength, teach us the way of salvation.
Oh my dear Child, tell me why did you come to this earth? Tell me who are you looking for? You came to die for me, to free me from hell.
Sei venuto a cercare me pecorella perduta, affinché io non fugga più da te e t’ami.
Ah my Jesus, my treasure, my life, my love, my everything, and if I don't love you who do I want to love? Where can I find a father, a friend, a husband more lovable than you and who loved me more than you? I love you, my dear God, I love you my only good.
My love, I give myself everything to you; accept me and don't reject me as I deserve.
Mary, you are my advocate, with your prayers obtain for me what you desire from this Son; pray to him to forgive me and give me holy perseverance until death.
Ridesta la tua potenza e vieni o Signore, e soccorrici con grande forza: e l’indulgenza della tua misericordia affretti, con l’aiuto della tua grazia; la salvezza impedita dai nostri peccati.
For Christ our Lord.
Dio onnipotente e misericordioso, che ci dai la grazia di commemorare nella fede la prima venuta del tuo Figlio e di attendere nella speranza il tuo avvento glorioso santifica ora con la luce della tua visita e colmaci della tua benedizione.
On the journey of this life make us firm in faith, joyful in hope, industrious in charity.Amen
