Close out Advent by saying these prayers every day from Dec. 16 – 24 (or 17 – 25). St. Padre Pio said that Christmastime is “particularly suitable for asking for graces.” So, skip writing to Santa and tell God what you most want for Christmas. But remember: God always listens to and answers prayers, but He does not always answer with yes. Sometimes He says no or not yet. However, I have it on good authority that when we pray for virtues, He always answers yes.
Novena to the Infant Jesus of Prague
O Jesus, Who has said, “Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened,” through the intercession of Mary, Your Most Holy Mother, I knock, I seek, I ask that my prayer be granted.
(Make your request)
O Jesus, Who has said, “All that you ask of the Father in My Name, He will grant you,” through the intercession of Mary Your Most Holy Mother, I humbly and urgently ask your Father in your name that my prayer will be granted.
(Make your request)
O Jesus, Who has said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away but My word shall not pass away,” through the intercession of Mary Your Most Holy Mother, I feel confident that my prayer will be granted.

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING
Divine Infant Jesus, I know You love me and would never leave me. I thank You for Your close Presence in my life.
