Holy Family Novena

Novena . WEB

Lord Jesus Christ, being subject to Mary and Joseph, You sanctified family life by Your beautiful virtues. Grant that we, with the help of Mary and Joseph, may be taught by the example of Your holy Family, and may after death enjoy its everlasting companionship.

Lord Jesus, help us ever to follow the example of Your holy Family, that in the hour of our death Your glorious Virgin Mother together with Saint Joseph may come to meet us, and we may be worthy to be received by You into the everlasting joys of heaven. You live and reign forever. Amen.

O Come Divine Messiah . VID

1 . O come, divine Messiah;
The world in silence waits the day
When hope shall sing its triumph
And sadness flee away.

Refrain

Dear Savior, haste! Come, come to earth.
Dispel the night and show your face,
and bid us hail the dawn of grace.

O come, divine Messiah;
the world in silence waits the day
when hope shall sing its triumph
and sadness flee away.

2 . O Christ, whom nations sigh for,
Whom priest and prophet long foretold,
Come, break the captive’s fetters,
Redeem the long-lost fold.

3 . You come in peace and meekness
And lowly will your cradle be;
All clothed in human weakness
Shall we your Godhead see.

the Presentation of Mary

On Nov. 21, hundreds of millions of Christians celebrate the momentous occasion of Sts. Joachim and Anne bringing their child, the Blessed Virgin Mary, to the Temple in Jerusalem for a blessing.

Yes … even Jesus had grandparents. Doting, wonderful, Jewish grandparents. If Joachim and Anne had raised such a wonderful child as the Blessed Virgin Mary, imagine how great they must have been as Jesus’ nono and nona.
