Christmas Eve The prayers, considerations and joys of this day
LDecember comes and with him the Ninth. At MARCA Claro we want to accompany you in these days of reflection. They are days of happiness to share with your family and friends and here we bring you the prayers to follow the steps easily.
The Strenna Novena It is a tradition that has been carried out for hundreds of years at Christmas time to gather with family and friends in prayer and song. It is a custom that lasts the nine days before Christmas, with a prayer for each day that we show you below for this third day:
Gives fourth
From the womb of his mother, the Child Jesus began to put into practice his entire submission to God, which continued without the slightest interruption throughout his life. He adored his Eternal Father, he loved him, he submitted to his will, he accepted with resignation the state in which he was, knowing all his weakness, all his humiliation, all his discomforts.
Who among us would like to regress to such a state with the full enjoyment of reason and reflection? Who could knowingly sustain such a prolonged, painful martyrdom in any case? That is where the Divine Child entered his painful and humble career; Thus he began to annihilate himself before his Father, to teach us what God deserves from his creature, to expiate our pride, the origin of all our sins, and we make all the criminality and disorders of pride felt.
We want to make a true prayer; Let us begin by forming an exact idea of it by contemplating the Child in its mother’s womb, The Divine Child prays and prays in the most excellent way. He does not speak, he does not meditate, he does not indulge in tender affections. His very state, accepted with the intention of honoring God, is his prayer, and that state highly expresses all that God deserves and in what way he wants to be worshiped by us.
Let us join in the prayers of the God Child in the bosom of Mara; Let us join in the deep despondency and let this be the first affection of our sacrifice to God. Let us give ourselves to God, not to be something as our vanity continually pretends, but to be nothing, to be eternally consumed and stunned, to renounce the stimulation of ourselves, all care of our greatness even if it is spiritual, all movement of conceit. Let us disappear in our own eyes and may God only be everything to us.
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 profound 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 forever. 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 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 Glory Be 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. ” Full of confidence in you, oh Jess !, 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 give ourselves to you, O almighty Child!, Certain 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.
