Christmas Novena

December 19

O ROOT OF JESSE, who stands for an ensign of the people, before whom kings shall keep silence and unto whom the Gentiles shall make supplication: Come to deliver us, and tarry not.

(Pause, Reflect, Pray: Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be and/or Pro Sanctity Prayer)

Isaiah 11:1-3, 10   Symbol: vine or plant in flower, especially a rose.

 

O Root of Jesse

You are our sign

Raised up before all upon the cross

All stand silent seeking your aid

O Root of Jesse

The mighty fall at your feet

Come deliver us from sorrow

Kings are silent in your majestic presence

O Root of Jesse come

Do not delay

Help us in our time of need
