The booklet for the 2022 Christmas Novena is now available at Padre Eustáquio's store. The printed version was prepared by collaborators from the Episcopal Vicariate for Pastoral Action of the Archdiocese of Belo Horizonte. This year's theme is "The Lord will give us a sign" (Isaiah 7:14).
The booklet aims to inspire reflections on Christmas in the light of the Gospel, as well as providing a special moment that invites us to pray and reflect with our family, friends, and community, in addition to preparing us for the experience of Advent.
The same content is being recorded on video by collaborators of the Sanctuary of Health and Peace and, starting today, will be shown on the Padre Eustáquio Channel. Each program is about 20 minutes long and covers the nine days of the novena, led by Father Vinícius Maciel, SS.CC. The videos can be used both by those who pray the novena alone and by their families as a guide.
The Padre Eustáquio Channel's Christmas Novena features the participation of Sanctuary collaborators such as: Aline Rocha, Rosângela Aparecida, Sandra Fruet, and Tiago Rangel. The set design, production, and direction are handled by Leandro Castro and Marcelo Silveira.
Anyone wishing to follow the Novena online or to create a moment with family or neighbors can purchase the booklet at Padre Eustáquio's store in Belo Horizonte. The material costs R$$ 4 and can be shipped throughout Brazil via the postal service.
