Day 16 – Heavenly Christmas Novena

by Fr Richard Heilman | November 16, 2022 12:05 AM

DAY 16 – VIRGIN MOST VENERABLE, PRAY THAT WE RECEIVE THE FRUIT OF CHARITY!

 

SAINTS’ WORDS

“Our hearts were made for you, O Lord, and they are restless until they rest in you.” -St. Augustine

“The fruits of charity are joy, peace, and mercy; charity demands beneficence and fraternal correction; it is benevolence; it fosters reciprocity and remains disinterested and generous; it is friendship and communion: Love is itself the fulfillment of all our works. There is the goal; that is why we run: we run toward it, and once we reach it, in it we shall find rest.” -St. Augustine

“Charity brings to life again those who are spiritually dead.” -St. Thomas Aquinas

“Charity is the form, mover, mother, and root of all virtues.” -St. Thomas Aquinas

 

DAY 16 – HEAVENLY CHRISTMAS NOVENA

Let’s give the gift of Heaven and continue building our Holy Alliance! Also, let’s pray in the most efficacious way for those in need here on earth!

We are now using Sections One & Two of your Strength & Alliance Field Manual[1].

Also, remember to pray your daily rosary today, as we ask Our Lady for her intercession that we have the resolve to hang tough and press on throughout these 54 days. These 54 days are about learning and solidifying these very powerful spiritual practices in our lives. Satan does not want you spiritually strong, united and disciplined, so brush off all of the excuses he plants in your head and stand firm.

SECTION #1 (Begins on page 28):  Continue building your Holy Alliance as you pray with another Saint to obtain a Plenary (Partial) Indulgence for another Holy Soul in Purgatory.

SECTION #2 (Begins on page 74):

STEP ONE: Write the name of the person who needs a special prayer in the “Comrade in Need” column.

STEP TWO: Write your specific prayer request for them in the “Prayer Request” column.

STEP THREE: Pray the Efficacious “Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus” (pg. 72) and place a check next to “Pio Prayer.”

STEP FOUR: After some time has passed, write how God answered the prayer in the “Glory Report” column. Always keep in mind that God knows best what is needed in a given situation to fulfill our ultimate goal of being with Him in heaven.
