SAINT ANDREW CHRISTMAS NOVENA

St. Andrew Christmas Novena 
The St. Andrew Christmas Novena is a very old prayer, and an excellent way to spend your Advent this year. Traditionally, it is prayed 15 times a day from the Feast of St. Andrew. Nov. 30th, to Christmas Eve, Dec. 24. However, it can be prayed as a 9-day novena, ending on the feast of the Immaculate Conception, Dec. 8th. It can be used for any intention, though it is often used for couples trying to conceive a child. 
Hail, and blessed be the hour and the moment at which the Son of God was born of a most pure Virgin at 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
