Here is day 5 and 6
Prayer for Everyday:
O Most Gracious God of infinite love, You loved humankind so much, You gave
us in Your Son the best pledge of Your love, so that Jesus, made man in the
womb of a Virgin and born in a manger, would be our health and remedy. I, on
behalf of all humanity, give You infinite thanks for such a sovereign benefit.
In return for this great gift, I offer You the poverty, simplicity, humility and other
virtues of Your Incarnate Son. I implore You by His divine merits, the discomforts
He suffered when He was born, and sweet tears He shed in the manger, that
You prepare our hearts with profound humility, a burning love and with total
disdain of all that is material and earthly, so that the newborn Jesus will find in
our hearts His crib and abode forever.
–Amen.
(Glory Be… 3 Times)
Fifth Day Meditation
We've seen the life that the Child Jesus carried out in the womb of His Most Pure
Mother. Let us also see today the life that Mary lead during the same period of
time.
Mary did not cease in waiting in wonder for the moment that she would enjoy that
beatific vision on earth: the face of God Incarnate. She was about to see that
human face that would light up the heavens for all eternity. She was going to
read the filial love in those same eyes whose rays would spread happiness
forever to the chosen millions. She was going to see Him in the presumed
ignorance of His infancy, the charm of His youth, and in the serenity of His
mature age.
Such was the extraordinary life of the expectant Mary! Let us not be content with
looking at Jesus living in Mary, but rather let us think about how He also resides
in essence, power and presence within us.
Sixth Day Meditation
Jesus was conceived in Nazareth, and, where He should have been born. But,
God had a different plan, and the prophets had foretold that the Messiah would
be born in Bethlehem of Judea, the city of David.
To fulfill this prediction, God used a method that seemed to have no connection
with the latter, namely: the order given by the Emperor Caesar Augustus that all
subjects of the Roman Empire take part in a census in the place of their origin.
Mary and Joseph, as they were descendants of David, were forced to go to
Bethlehem.
Jesus knew where He was to be born, and so He inspired His parents to submit
themselves to Divine Providence, and in this way they fulfilled God’s Will. Let us
observe the direction of the Divine Child, because it is the most important in the
spiritual life. Let us learn that those who entrust themselves to the Lord, no
longer belong to themselves, but only to the Will of God.

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin
O Heavenly Queen, by your great virtues and especially for your humility, you
merited God’s favor to choose you for His mother. I beg you to prepare my soul
and the souls of all those who at this time are praying this Novena for the spiritual
birth of your beloved Son.
Oh, sweet Mother! Instill in me something of that profound contemplation and
great tenderness you felt while you awaited His coming, so that you make us less
unworthy to see Him, love Him, and adore Him for all eternity. - Amen.
(Hail Mary… 3 Times)
Prayer to St. Joseph
O great St. Joseph, husband of Mary and foster father of Jesus! I give infinite
thanks to God for having chosen you for such a great ministry and for having
bestowed upon you all the gifts proportionate to such greatness. I beseech you,
for the love you had for the Divine Child, that you embrace my earnest desires to
see Him and receive Him sacramentally, while we wait to see Him and enjoy Him
in His Divine Essence in heaven. - Amen.
(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be...)

The Memorare to the Child Jesus
Remember, O Sweet Holy Child Jesus, that You have said to Venerable Sister
Margaret of the Blessed Sacrament, and to all of your devotees, these words so
full of consolation for our poor, burdened and suffering humanity: “Draw from this
Divine Heart. Ask all that you desire through the merits of My Holy Childhood.
Nothing will be refused to you.”
(Here mention your request…)
Full of confidence in Thee, O Jesus, Who are Truth itself, we come to make
known all our misery to you. Help us to lead a Holy life in order to attain a
Blessed Eternity. Grant us through the infinite Merits of Your Incarnation and of
Your Childhood, the graces of which we are most in need.
No, we shall not be deceived in our hope. We abandon ourselves to Thee, O
Omnipotent Child, in virtue of Your Divine Promise, You will favorably receive
and deign to grant our prayer.
- Amen.
