# Day Four of the Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe
*2014-12-06*

> Bill Young leads the fourth day of the novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe, praying for a fortified will to imitate Christ’s charity and reciting the Nicene Creed and Our Father.

## Opening Prayer

Hi, this is Bill Young and welcome to the Prayer and Lunch podcast. Today we continue with the novena in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe, day four. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

## The Nicene Creed

We believe in one God, the Father, Almighty, Maker of all that is seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, begotten of the Father. Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one essence with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For our salvation He came down from heaven, was incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate, suffered death, and was buried. On the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. We worship and glorify Him, who is spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy, catholic, and apostolic Church; we acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins; we look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world. Amen.

## Petition to Our Lady of Guadalupe

Dearest Mother of Guadalupe, I beg you for a fortified will to imitate your Divine Son’s charity, to always seek the good of others in need. Grant me this, I humbly ask of you.

## Our Father

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; lead us not into temptation, and deliver us from evil. Amen.

## Hail Mary and Closing Prayer

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, my love, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
God bless you all.

*May the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe strengthen our will to love others as Christ loves us.*
