Novena Day 3: The Birth of Our Lord

Join us for Day 3 of the Novena in Honour of Our Lady of Walsingham.

Opening prayer: We fly to thy protection, O holy Mother of God. Despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us from all
dangers O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.

Intention: For the protection and sanctity of life, and for families

Thoughts: `The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us` (John 1:14). For our sake and for our salvation he came down from
Heaven, Emmanuel, God-with-us. His presence blessed and sanctified the life of an earthly home, and made of it his Heaven, so that the family becomes a place of
security, love and peace. He humbled himself to share our humanity that we might share his divinity.

Prayer: Father in heaven, creator of all, in history`s moment when all was ready, you sent your Son to dwell among us, the Word
made flesh, Emmanuel. Teach us to respect the dignity of marriage, and to uphold the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception to natural death,
and that our homes may reflect the love of the Holy Family.

Intentions: We pray for the protection of all life from the moment of conception to natural death and pray that a culture respecting
the sanctity of life, marriage and family may once again prevail in our country and communities.

Our Father … Hail Mary . Glory be .
Our Lady of Walsingham, pray for us.
