Third 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.
Third Day - The Word of God
"When the days were completed for their purification according to the law of Moses, they took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord." (Lk. 2:22)
Reflection
It is a very Christian custom to bring children to the temple to present them to the Lord, but let this presentation serve to further confirm our solemn commitment made when we had them baptized, that is, to teach them to be good Christians, by word and especially by good example.
Purpose
I will strive to collaborate with God by announcing the Gospel to the people I live with, first by good example and if necessary with some words.
Community Prayer
Confidently let us make our petitions to God.
That parents and godparents may fulfill their solemn commitment to educate children in the Christian faith. Hear us, Lord.
That Jesus may grant us the grace we ask for in this novena, if it is His will. 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

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
O Jesus, Divine Teacher of mankind, enlighten parents and all those entrusted with the Christian education of children and young people, so that they may fulfill the solemn mission He has entrusted to them. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.
Amen.
