A Novena of Masses for the Peace of the Christ Child in Our Families and in Our World
 "Peace I leave with you, my own peace I give you; a peace the world cannot give, this is my gift to you. Let not your hearts be troubled or afraid." -John 14:27

Greetings!

There is an overwhelming lack of peace in the world today... peace in our hearts, peace in our families, peace in our communities, and yes, even peace in our Church. And for good reason.

Advent is a time to place a pause in the challenges that swirl around us and focus our hearts and minds on Jesus. We anticipate His nativity as the Christ Child. We also long for His final coming as the Prince of Peace at the end of time when everything that opposes Him will fall away and His peace will reign forever and ever.

How can we call down God's peace upon our families and in our world? It is for this special intention that Reverend Father Jino Owiny, a priest of the Archdiocese of Gulu, Northern Uganda, will offer a special Novena of Masses in honor of the Nativity of Jesus, December 24th, Christmas Eve, through January 1st, the Feast of Mary the Mother of God.  

There are so many needs that weigh heavy upon our hearts today. I hope you will join our novena by submitting the names of your family members, spouses, loved ones and friends along with any intentions you have.
  
Do you have loved ones who are sick, dying, isolated, or afraid? Is someone you know struggling because of financial challenges? Do you know of a marriage that is going through a bitter divorce? Are you praying for loved ones who have lost their faith? Is someone you love struggling with addiction? There are so many situations that can rob us of peace both individually and corporately. 

Simply click here to submit your intentions for our Novena of Masses for Peace in our Families and in our World. Do not miss this special opportunity to join us in prayer during this season of miracles!  
Wishing you an abundance of hope, faith, joy and peace this Advent and Christmas season. 

With gratitude,
Johnnette and the Staff of Women of Grace
P.S. In gratitude for your Novena stipend, I would like to send you a small token of thanks, a link to our television series, "The Sounds of Christmas Music."

P.P.S. We are pleased to make available to you both Gregorian Masses, and single Masses to be offered for your deceased loved ones or for your special intentions. Monsignor Matthew Odong, the Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Gulu in Northern Uganda and Rector of the Sacred Heart Seminar will personally arrange for these Masses to be offered by priests in the Archdiocese of Gulu. According to Susan Tassone, it's the perfect Christmas gift for the souls of our dearly departed loved ones!


Nativity Prayer of St. Augustine

Let the just rejoice,
for their justifier is born.
Let the sick and infirm rejoice,
For their saviour is born.
Let the captives rejoice,
For their Redeemer is born.
Let slaves rejoice,
for their Master is born.
Let free men rejoice,
For their Liberator is born.
Let All Christians rejoice,
For Jesus Christ is born.

-St. Augustine of Hippo (AD 354-440)
