Day 4 - Christmas Novena Prayers:

 
Peace be with you!
 
Today, the Christmas Novena prayers focus on the Holy Nativity of our Lord! 
 
Let us pray for an openness to life and an expectation for new life from God.
 
Pray that you and I (and everyone in this prayer community) will be open to the Lord when He comes to us each day. Pray that we will be open to His answers to prayers and to all of His blessings. 
 
Pray that all of us and our society as a whole will be more open to the gift of new life from God! 
 
And pray that we will not allow abortion, contraception or anything else interfere with God's gift of life to us. 
  
Here are the novena prayers for today:
 
 
Opening Prayer:
 
V. O God, come to my assistance.
R. O Lord, make haste to help me.
 
Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. 
 
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.  And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
 
The Holy Nativity.
 
O most sweet infant Jesus, born of the Virgin Mary in
Bethlehem, wrapped in poor swaddling clothes, laid
in the manger, glorified by angels, and visited by
shepherds. 
 
Have mercy on us.
 
Have mercy on us, O Lord. Have mercy on us.
 
Hail Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. 
 
O Jesus born of Virgin bright,
Immortal glory be to thee;
Praise to the Father infinite,
And Holy Ghost eternally.
 
Christ is at hand. O come, let us worship him.
 
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.  And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
 
Amen.
