Fourth Day
By the sign of the Holy Cross, from our enemies, deliver us, Lord, our God. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Act of Contrition
My Lord Jesus Christ, true God and true Man, Creator, Father and Redeemer of mine, for being who You are, infinite Goodness, and because I love You above all things, I am heartily sorry for having offended You. I am also sorry because You can punish me with the pains of hell. Aided by Your divine grace, I firmly resolve never to sin again, to confess my sins, and to fulfill the penance imposed upon me. Amen.
Prayer for Every Day
O God, who out of love for us sent Your Divine Son as our Savior and Redeemer, we ask that through the merits of His infancy, our faith may increase and we may abound in good works. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Fourth Day - The Word of God
"Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother: This child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted— and you yourself a sword will pierce— so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed." (Lk. 2:34-35)
Reflection
Saint Augustine said: "He who created you without you, cannot save you without you." God cannot take us to heaven if we do not want it: He respects our freedom. Let us voluntarily accept the salvation that Jesus offers us.
Purpose
I resolve to better order my life, so that my actions may facilitate Jesus in His work of saving me.
Community Prayer
Let us present our needs to God as a child to a loving father:
That we may not abuse our freedom. Hear us, Lord.
If it is fitting for our salvation, may the Lord grant us the grace we ask for. Hear us, Lord.
(Other petitions may be added).
Joys
O Divine Child, my God and Lord, You shall be the master of my heart.
Stanzas
Here in Your Sanctuary with faith and prayer, we all ask for our conversion.
Young and old in great procession, we come joyfully to make our offering.
All the youth with great conviction, radiant with longing go to the Savior.
May our families like Nazareth, come to know its great virtues.
That we love all, the Lord commands us, with all the strength that we love God.
That at the end of my life with Your protection, I may have the joy of my salvation.
Final Prayer
My Jesus: You who are the way, the truth, and the life, help us so that overcoming our pride, we may fulfill our commitment made at baptism to believe in You and follow You all our lives. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.
Amen.
