Novena al Divino Niño Jesús - Primer día

By the sign of the holy cross, deliver us from our enemies, O Lord our God. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Act of Contrition My Lord Jesus Christ, true God and true Man, Creator, Father, and Redeemer, because You are who You are, infinite Goodness, and because I love You above all things, I am heartily sorry for having offended You. I am also sorry because You can punish me with the pains of hell. With the help of Your divine grace, I firmly resolve never to sin again, to confess my sins, and to perform the penance that will be imposed upon me. Amen. Prayer for Every Day O God, who out of love for us sent Your Divine Son as our Savior and Redeemer, we ask that through the merits of His childhood, our faith may increase and we may abound in good works. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. FIRST DAY The Word of God "This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world so that we might live through him." (John 4:9) Reflection God has always loved us. He hates and rejects no one; it is we who often reject Him through sin. Let us respond to His love by keeping His holy Law and accepting Jesus into our lives. Intention I will show my love for God by doing all the good I can for my neighbor. Community Prayer That we Christians may love one another as brothers and sisters. Hear us, Lord. That Jesus may grant us the grace we ask of Him in this novena, if it is His divine will. Hear us, Lord. (Other petitions may be added.) Joys Chorus O Divine Child, my God and Lord, You will be the Master of my heart. Verses Here in your Sanctuary, with faith and prayer, we all ask for our conversion. Young and old, in a grand procession, we come joyfully to offer you our devotion. All the young people, with great conviction, radiant with longing, go to the Savior. May our families, like those of Nazareth, come to know your great virtues. The Lord commands us to love everyone with all the strength with which we love God. That at the end of my life, with your protection, I may have the joy of my salvation. Final Prayer O Jesus, you who came into the world to be the servant of humankind, grant that, imitating your example, we may be generous in the service of our brothers and sisters. You who live and reign forever and ever. Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be. Amen
