Advent Novena: Day Two

Opening Prayer:

Father, all powerful and ever-living God, we 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 we watch for the day, hoping that the salvation promised us will be ours, when Christ our Lord will come again in His Glory.

Day Two

Lord our God, help us to prepare well for the coming of Christ Your Son. May He find us waiting, eager in joyful prayer. God of mercy and consolation, help us in our weakness and free us from sin. Hear our prayer that we may rejoice at the coming of Your Son.

In memory of the coming of our Lord and Savior, we beg You, Father, to grant us the graces we need to be prepared for His coming to our souls on Christmas. We ask in particular this favor: (mention your request).

For the love Jesus, Your Son, has shown us in becoming man to save us, we beg You to grant our prayers, if it be Your holy will. Amen.

(Say one Our Father, one Hail Mary and one Glory)
