Say this novena prayer and enjoy a perfect season with Christ
The Christmas season is a time to remember the birth of Jesus, our Lord; a season to celebrate that great Man who so loved the world that He came as man to bring us salvation:
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
Asides attending the Holy Mass, going for confession, giving alms, a great way to connect to Jesus is through prayers.
This is a 9-day novena which normally, should be said before Christmas consistently for 9 days, starting from the 16th of December to the 24th. But not to worry, it’s never too late to start. It can also be said at other times of the year.

Your answers to these would determine how well you need to work on your relationship with Jesus. There couldn’t be a better time for that than this season. Many thanks for reading!
