Novena to say during Advent
 Father, all-powerful and ever-living God, I give You thanks through Jesus Christ our Lord. When He humbled Himself to come among us as a Man, He fulfilled the plan You formed long ago and opened for us the way to salvation.
Now I watch for the day, hoping that the salvation promised us will be mine, when Christ our Lord will come again in His glory.
His future coming was proclaimed by all the prophets. The Virgin Mother bore Him in her womb with love beyond all telling. John the Baptist was His herald and made Him known when at last He came. In His love He has filled us with joy as we prepare to celebrate His birth. When He comes, may He find me watching in prayer, my heart filled with wonder and praise.
In memory of the coming of our Lord and Saviour, I beg You, Father, to grant me all the graces I need to be prepared for His coming to my soul on Christmas. I ask in particular this favor: (Mention your request).
For the love Jesus, Your Son, has shown us in becoming man to save us, I beg You to grant my prayer, if it be Your holy Will. Amen.
