Christmas Novena (Misa de Gallo) – First Day | December 16, 2024 | 4:30 AM Mass

[LIVE] Christmas Novena (Misa de Gallo) – First Day | December 16, 2024 | 4:30 AM Mass Let Us Open Our Hearts to the Lord! Our centuries-long tradition of preparing for Christmas through the Simbang Gabi brings us together in great numbers. We are filled with Christian hope, despite so many uncertainties on all fronts. On this first day of our Christmas Novena, we want to tell Jesus how much we need his presence and long for his coming. The decorations around us, our singing and our smiles create a joyful atmosphere of expectation and hope. But what matters most is the disposition of our hearts – our desire to welcome Jesus and make him the center of our life; the pledge to love him not only in words but also in deeds. In this Eucharist, let us pray to the Lord for the grace of a persevering and fruitful attendance from the beginning to the end of this Novena. And today also being NATIONAL YOUTH DAY, let us pray for all the young people in our land that they may truly and fully open their hearts to the Lord today and the all the days of their lives.
