And so begins the St Andrew Christmas novena. I’m sharing this novena with you because it’s quite powerful; say the prayer 15 times daily from today (November 30) until Christmas Eve:
Hail, and blessed be the hour and moment at which the Son of God was born of a most pure Virgin in a stable at midnight in Bethlehem in the piercing cold. At that hour vouchsafe, I beseech Thee, to hear my prayers and grant my desires. (Mention your intentions here) Through Jesus Christ and His most Blessed Mother. Amen.
