Novena for Holy Christmas

Begins Dec. 16th.

 

Lynnfiat, is this the St. Andrew prayer? The file wouldn't open for me.

 

This is taken from The Book of Heaven (Luisa Piccarreta). I will try sending it in a different form tomorrow, if possible. God bless you.

 

Oh thank you very much! That would be great!

 

Looking forward to this

 

If you are still unable to open, you may go to my blog where I have posted the Novena: http://childofdivinelove.blogspot.com/
This is a beautiful Novena in preparation for the coming of our Jesus!

 

Lynnfiat! This novena is so beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! I can't wait to show my wife!

 

About the Novena for Holy Christmas: this comes from Saint Annibale di Francia in a letter to Luisa:
"Most esteemed one in the Lord, ...I also tell you that in reading the nine Exercises of Christmas (the nine excesses of Love - Christmas Novena), of which we have already prepared the proofs, one remains astounded at the immense Love and the immense suffering of our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ for love of us, and for the salvation of souls. I have never read in any other book on this topic a Revelation so touching and penetrating!

I downloaded the novena but am unsure how I do it. Do I take one of the excess every day?

 

Maryrose, I used to pray it that way - taking one of the excesses each day and meditating on it, but now I pray all nine each day and meditate as much as time allows. Ask Our Blessed Mother and Luisa to help you meditate on them.
Jesus says: "You don't know how much life, how much love and grace they contain (the excesses of Love). You must know that my word is creation, and in narrating to you the nine excesses of my love in the Incarnation, I not only renewed the love I had in incarnating Myself, but I created new love in order to invest the creatures and conquer them, so that they would give themselves to Me. With these nine excesses of my love, manifested with so much love of tenderness and simplicity, I formed the prelude of the many lessons I was to give you about my Divine Fiat, in order to form Its Kingdom. And now, as you read them, my love is renewed and redoubled. Don't you want, then, that my love,being redoubled, overflow outside and invest other hearts, so that, as a prelude, they may dispose themselves for the lessons of My Will, to make It known and reign?" (Vol. 25, Dec. 16, 1928)

You can see the importance of reading and praying this Novena. God bless you and may all things be Will of God for you!
