Give first
In the beginning of time the Word rested in the bosom of his Father in the highest of heaven; there was the cause, as well as the pattern of all creation. In those depths of incalculable eternity lay the Child of Bethlehem before he deigned to descend to Earth and visibly take possession of Bethlehem’s grotto. That is where we must look for its principles that have never begun; From there we must date the genealogy of the eternal, which has no ancestors and contemplate the life of infinite complacency that it led there.
The life of the eternal Word in the bosom of his Father was a marvelous life and yet a sublime mystery! He seeks another home, a created mansion. It was not because in his eternal mansion something was lacking in his infinite happiness, but because his infinite mercy longed for the redemption and salvation of the human race, which without him could not be verified.
Adam’s sin had offended God, and that infinite offense could only be forgiven by the merits of God himself. Adam’s race had disobeyed and deserved eternal punishment; It was therefore necessary to save her and satisfy her guilt, that God, without leaving heaven, take the form of man on Earth and with obedience to the designs of his Father atone for that disobedience, ingratitude and rebellion.
It was necessary, in view of his love, that he take the form, weaknesses and systematic ignorances of man; to grow to give you spiritual growth; let him suffer, to teach him to die to his passions and his pride. And that is why the eternal Word, burning with the desire to save man, resolved to become man as well and thus redeem the guilty.
Most blessed God of infinite charity, who so loved men, that you gave them in your son the pledge of your love, so that, made man in the womb of a Virgin, he would be born in a manger for our health and medicine; I, on behalf of all mortals, give you infinite thanks for such sovereign benefit. In return I offer you the poverty, humility and other virtues of your humanized son, pleading with you for his divine merits, for the discomfort in which he was born and for the tender tears that he shed in the manger, that you dispose of our hearts with deep humility, with love on fire, with such contempt for all things earthly, so that the newborn Jesus may have his cradle in them and dwell eternally. Amn. (Glory to the Father is prayed three times).
Sovereign Mara, because of your great virtues and especially because of your humility, you deserved that a whole God chose you as his mother, I beg you that you yourself prepare and dispose of my soul and that of all those who at this time made this novena, for the birth of your beloved son. Oh sweet mother !, communicate to me something of the deep recollection and divine tenderness with which you awaited him, so that you make us less unworthy to see him, love him and adore him for all eternity. Amn. (The Avemara is prayed three times).
O most holy Joseph, husband of Mary and foster father of Jesus! Infinite thanks I give to God because He chose you for such sovereign mysteries and adorned you with all the gifts provided to such excellent greatness. I beg you, for the love that you had for the Divine Child, you embrace me in fervent desire to see him and receive him sacramentally, while in his divine essence I see him and I enjoy him in heaven. Amn. (An Our Father, a Hail and a Gloria is said)
Remember, oh sweet Child Jesus, that you said to the venerable Margaret of the Blessed Sacrament, and in her person to all your devotees, these words so consoling for our poor, burdened and suffering humanity: “Whatever you want to ask, ask for the merits of my childhood and nothing will be denied you “. Filled with confidence in you, oh Jesus, that you are the same truth, we come to expose you all our misery. Help us to lead a holy life, to achieve a blissful eternity. Concede us for the infinite merits of your childhood, the grace of which we need so much. We entrust ourselves to you, O almighty Child, sure that we will not give up our hope frustrated, and that by virtue of your divine promise, you will welcome and send our request favorably. Amn.
