Christmas Novena, Day 1

Abbreviated and adapted from a 17th century sung novena based on Gregorian chant. (Sung in modern times by the Daughters of St. Paul.) Very simple visual accompaniment to the prophetic texts.
This video had to be short to be manageable, so please "amplify" it by adding more Scripture readings, intercessions, etc. We used to use this during our Hour of Adoration from Dec. 16-25. Each day's "base" is the same, but the readings and final antiphon change, because the final antiphon is the "O" antiphon of the day--a great way to connect with Liturgy and Tradition!

Did you Jesus wasn't even born on Christmas?

Why is that an issue? The important thing is that he was born for us! Having a special date set apart to remember this is a good thing, wouldn't you say?

With due respect, fellow Christ lovers: we want really do 'Keep on making sure of what is acceptable to the Lord' -- Ephesian 5:10, 11. -- Please read: 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; 13:6; John 4:23, 24; Matthew 6:3, 4; 2 Corinthians 9:7. I cordially the memorially of Christ's death -- Ecclesiastes 7:1; 1 Corinthians 5:6-8; Luke 22. Thank-you ladies. I could discuss more on these subjects later. Best wishes and my warm Christian love.

This is quite good. I use a Novena in Song

for Christmas prepared by the Poor Clares of Chicago in 1958. We use their setting of the

O Antiphons with Magnificat and then their

English version of the Marian Anthem for Advent thru Candlemas.
