Christmas Novena – Day 5

Initial Prayer

It is with joy that we announce the message of Christmas: God became man, He came to live among us.

God is not far away: He is close. Furthermore, He is “Emmanuel”, God-with-us. He is not a stranger: He has a face, the face of Jesus.

Let us pray that this Christmas the face of Jesus may be contemplated by all families and by all men on earth.

Day 5

“Today, true peace has descended on us from Heaven.” (Christmas Mass antiphon at midnight)

The Light of Christ is indeed a carrier of peace. At Christmas, true peace descends from Heaven upon us. We believe that only the light from Christ can give men true peace.

This is Christmas! Historical event and mystery of love that, for over two thousand years, has challenged men and women of every time and place.

It is the holy day when the great light of Christ shines, bringing peace!

Closing Prayer

In the silence of that night in Bethlehem, Jesus was born and lovingly welcomed.

Who is ready to open their heart this Christmas?

Who watches, in the night of doubt and uncertainty, with a heart awake and in prayer?

Who awaits for the dawn of the new day, keeping the flame of faith lit?

Who has time to listen to His words and be fascinated by His love?

Christ comes to bring light to us. He comes to give us peace, too!

Yes, His message of peace is for everyone, it is for everyone who comes to offer himself as a sure hope of salvation.
