Complete prayer of the inn according to the Old Christmas Novena

START

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
In front of the images of the Pilgrims: The Virgin Mary and the Lord Saint Joseph, we
prepare our minds and our hearts to prepare for the Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Oh
divine Holy Spirit, pour out your grace into our hearts so that this prayer that we are going to
offer to the Father may bear fruit of conversion in our hearts. Cleanse our lips, our minds and
our hearts. That is why we begin by asking forgiveness for our sins.

ACT OF CONTRITION

My Lord Jesus Christ God and true man, because you are who you are and because
I love you above all things, I regret with all my heart that I have offended you. I propose to
never sin again, to confess, to fulfill the penance that was imposed on me and to remove
myself from all occasions of offending you. I offer you my life, works and labors in reparation
for all my sins and I trust that, in your infinite goodness, you will forgive me for them through
the merits of your most precious blood and you will give me grace to make amends and
persevere in your holy service until the end of my life. life. Amen.

PRAYER FOR EVERY DAY OF THE NOVENA

Oh Holy Virgin! I humbly offer you these nine Hail Marys and I beg you that to obey
the divine laws I make a straight path towards Heaven and while I pilgrim through this valley
of tears, may my heart be a worthy inn of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Amen.

PRAYERS FOR EACH DAY OF THE POSADA

First Inn on December 16

 Consider, most humble Queen of the Angels, the great obedience with which, having
heard that Caesar ordered that all who lived in his empire be registered to pay the tribute,
you arranged in the company of your Husband Mr. S. Joseph, leave your holy house in
Nazareth and take the road to Bethlehem, on foot and with a thousand inconveniences, so
that they could be registered as tributaries; carrying in your virginal womb the King of Kings,
this being the reason why you exposed yourself to the rigors of the cold and many other
sufferings. I beg you, most loving mother, teach us to obey our sovereign Son, may he serve
God and learn from Jesus Christ Our Lord the path to eternal glory. Amen. Jaculatory

Second Posada December 27

I consider, Holy Virgin, how you left in the company of your most chaste Husband,
from Nazareth to Bethlehem, with that young age and poverty that you loved so much and
for such a long journey you only carried an insignificant bundle loaded on a donkey,
stamping your humble soles on the rough path (as broken as it is blessed): whose stones
hurt you horribly. But what did they matter to you if you carried the Divine Jesus made man
in your virginal womb. I adore you and I beg you to teach me to suffer the discomforts of life
and that, loving the poverty of the heart, I may follow in your footsteps to enjoy eternal bliss.
Amen.
Jaculatory

Third Inn December 18

With what admiration I consider, O Queen of Angels, your painful journey,

accompanied by the angels who guarded you and who praised the Son of your most pure
wombs with sweet songs. Here I ponder, my mother, in the midst of the rough and long road;
the consolation that your noble soul would receive looking at your companions angels,
celebrating with hymns to the King of Glory. May your Most Holy Son grant me the grace to
always praise Jesus, Mary and Joseph in this life and then eternally adore them in the
company of the cherubs. Amen.
Jaculatory
Fourth Inn December 19

I consider, most innocent Dove, how due to the influx of people who walked to
Bethlehem to register, all the inns along the way were filled and they were thrown away
when you arrived with your Most Chaste Husband to ask for lodging, looking at them so
poor; I, my mother, give you my heart so that you may reside in it. I praise your humility
when they pointed you to the place where the animals were collected to rest. There they ate
their poor meals with the resignation and tranquility with which they saw earthly things. I beg
you, admirable Virgin, make my soul not worry about the vanities of the world, so that my
heart may be simple and filled with love for the Holy Family. Jaculatory.

Fifth Inn December 20

I consider you, Pilgrim Queen of the Angels and Mother of God, entering the city of
Bethlehem, in the company of your holy Husband and requesting shelter where you can rest;
The first thing you did was look for the registration house and you humbly fulfilled Caesar's
commands. What an example of obedience You give me, You, the Empress of Heaven,
subjecting yourself to earthly laws. Grant me, my Queen, to serve You and Your Son Jesus,
according to His will and to subject myself to the state and sphere in which He has placed
me, to exercise the teachings of Our Lord. Amen.
Jaculatory

Sixth Posada December 21

How I pity you, my Queen and Lady, as I see you going from door to door through
the city of Bethlehem, in search of a shelter where you can be welcomed; and nowhere did
they feel sorry for your delicate situation, claiming that due to the influx of strangers there
was not a single unoccupied place. Here I admire your patience and sympathize with your
pain and that of Mr. S. José having to go out of the city and sleep at the foot of a tree. You,
the Empress of Heaven, without having a coat to protect you from the frost and the winds. I
beg you, my Lady, to reach me from Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Lord, grace that I may follow the
path of virtue and achieve eternal viewing of You in Glory. Amen.
Jaculatory

Seventh Inn December 22

On this day, my Lady and mother, your Holy Husband remembered a grotto where
sometimes the shepherds and animals defended themselves from the inclemency of the
weather and with tender concern he led you to that place, where you spent the seventh night
less badly. of your pilgrimage. I beg you, Lady, that through your very effective intervention
my heart deserves to be softened and, embraced in purest love, to be a worthy room where
Jesus, Mary and Joseph always stay. Amen.
Jaculatory
Eighth Inn December 23

How much I suffer, oh! Blessed Virgin, considering that despite your sufferings because the
birth was approaching, you had to help your loving Husband to clean that filthy place, which
was not worthy even for beasts. Grant me, Lady, that my conscience may be cleansed of
iniquities, that I may conform in everything with the will of God to be with Him in heaven.
Amen.
Jaculatory

JACULATORY

At the end of each day's Prayer, an Our Father, a Hail Mary, a Glory Be and this ejaculation
are said:

Humble pilgrims
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I give you my soul with it, my heart too.

Oh! Graceful pilgrim, oh most beautiful creature, I offer you my soul so that you can give me
lodging.

Oh Divine Lord, filling heaven and earth with your glory, you wanted to walk unknown
and hide your greatness in a humble stable. Make my senses and powers praise you and

 NINTH POSADA DECEMBER 24

It begins with the initial prayer, the act of contrition and the daily prayer:

The most blessed hour of the Birth of the Messiah has arrived! Raptured in divine
ecstasy and raising your eyes to Heaven, you gave birth to the most beautiful, wisest, most
peaceful Child that ever existed in this world!
His presence in the grotto instantly beautified the place with the splendor of his glory and in
your virginal lap, revered by the Most Chaste Patriarch who is at his feet, surrounded by
archangels, angels and seraphim who adore him and sing: Glory to God in the heights and
on earth peace among men of good will. And even the beasts that slowly approach to warm
the tender infant with their breath, form the most imponderable and majestic picture that can
be conceived. It is the dawn of Christianity, the divine religion that exalts the weak and the
oppressed and equates the magnate with the beggar, for you are good and merciful, loving
Virgin. Amen.

HYMN TO THE DIVINE NEWBORN CHILD JESUS
At midnight everyone gathers around the Divine Newborn Child Jesus and this Hymn of
Praise is hailed:
Aromas burn with a pleasant smell,
Flowers are poured out in front of
the Child, Kings and poor
shepherds adore Him and songs
sing to the Savior God.
1. Your eyes are beautiful and your
hair is curly, your neck is like
alabaster, your childish mouth is pure;
How graceful are your arms! Your
hands, how delicate!
Your looks are very soft, like the auras
of April.
Aromas burn
2. Lying on grass You are, girded with
sashes, You who dislodge the orb In
acts of fury.
Where did you turn off the lightning?
Where did you leave the thunder?
Love I caught you in the hay, Love has
disarmed you.
Aromas burn...
3. Play is your beautiful mouth A
certain innocent smile. Which the
breeze usually plays with the flower
bud. But a few pure tears wet Your
face, oh Child! It is the cry of affection
of your maternal love.
Aromas burn...
4. Or is it the cry of pain
Your beautiful and candid
Mother gives you kisses and
looks at you And caresses
you and sighs Thinking of
Gethsemane. Embrace
yourself, moved, and cry,
and return to the kisses,
when you contemplate the
excesses of my love that is
for you.
Aromas burn...
5. Of your people against
you. If angels flying Pass
from star to star, A creature
so beautiful They must not
be able to find, From your
blonde hair To your glorious
plants, You are glorious and
you enchant The sky, the
earth and the sea.
Aromas burn...
6. Look at this little guy Who
has his hands tied, For the
Greeks and Romans And he
will dominate the world.
Heroes and monarchs Are
insects at his side;
And on the starry sky he will
ARRUYO OF THE CHILD JESUS

Once the praise is over, everyone gathers around the Divine Newborn Child Jesus and
while the Arruyo is sung, the smallest of the Family wraps the Divine Child around him by
wrapping him in a blanket.

THE RORRO

A la Rorro, child, a la rorro... ro, don't pout, Niño Redeemer.

Two stars are your beautiful eyes, your coral lips, your hair is gold.

To the rorro...

Cover yourself, Little Boy, you're in little leather, let my affections serve as diapers.
The ox is approaching, so is the mule, the cold that you have today with her bath takes you
away.

To the rorro.

Child of Mary, my poor soul is given to you today by this little shepherd. Today with great
longing, Child Redeemer, at your feet we extend our hearts.

To the rorro.

Be blessed, blessed Child my God, we thank you all with one voice.

To the rorro.

Once the Child has been lulled to sleep, the smallest of the family gives it to each of the
members to kiss, as a sign of adoration. While you can sing another song.

the child to sleep tonight will lay him in the manger. While the Child is being laid in the
manger, this lullaby is sung:
