THE CHRISTMAS NOVENA

the Advent focus shifts to
the Christmas story and the
Virgin Mary. These days
serve to prepare more
directly for the Lord’s birth.

This is the best time to hold
carols services and to begin
to sing Christmas carols in the liturgy.

Drop down dew from above, you heavens, and let the clouds rain down the Just One; let the earth be opened and bring forth a Saviour.

Awakening the Faithful…….
Jubilee Year of MERCY: The Jubilee Holy
Door “will become a Door of
Mercy through which anyone who
enters will experience the love of
God who consoles, pardons, and
instils hope” …How much I desire
that the year to come will be
steeped in mercy, so that we can go out to every man
and woman, bringing the goodness and tenderness of
God! May the balm of mercy reach everyone, both
believers and those far away, as a sign that the
Kingdom of God is already present in our midst! –
