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.
